Which actor played Harold Oxley in Kingdom of the Crystal Skull?

Which actor played Harold Oxley in *Kingdom of the Crystal Skull*? John Hurt played Harold “Ox” Oxley.

Oxley is an old friend and former colleague of Indiana Jones, as well as Mutt Williams’s surrogate father. Before the film begins, Oxley discovers a crystal skull in Peru while searching for the legendary city of Akator. The skull’s influence leaves him mentally unwell and drives him to communicate through cryptic automatic writing.

John Hurt brought the role a distinctive combination of scholarly authority and vulnerability. The character is eventually reunited with Indy, Mutt, and Marion Ravenwood during the search for Akator. After the crystal skull is returned to its alien owner, Oxley regains his sanity and returns to the United States with the group.

The other options are all actors associated with the film but play different characters. Ray Winstone is George “Mac” McHale, Jim Broadbent is Dean Charlie Stanforth, and John Rhys-Davies does not play a principal role in the film. Hurt’s casting is also easy to remember because he had previously played Professor Trevor Broom in the *Hellboy* films.
