He portrayed the character of Marcus Brody in only two of the four Indiana Jones features, but he was present in spirit in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull: Spielberg didn't want to recast the character, so the passing of Marcus is mentioned several times throughout the film, a portrait of Marcus is hanging outside of Indy's classroom, a statuette of him can be seen in a University courtyard and a maltshop in the film is named 'Brody's'.
Denholm died on October 6th, 1992 in Ibiza, as a result of AIDS.
