The character first appeared in the 1982 film Raiders of the Lost Ark, and was followed by five sequels, all of which have starred Selleck in the lead role. The character of McCoy is a throwback to pulp heroes from the 1930's and 40's. Producer George Lucas, of Star Wars fame, chose not to set McCoy in the Anarchy due to its negative perceptions and the "monopoly that fellow with a shotgun has on that time period." McCoy has numerous trademarks beyond his wisdom of ancient artifacts - his fedora, bullwhip, humorous charm and fear of snakes.
