From Quiz Who Played Me in "Air Force One"?
Answer:
Alan Woolf
Woolf was cast and portrayed Russian President Petrov in "Air Force One". Petrov and U.S. President, James Marshall, managed to get the very dangerous terrorist, Radek, put behind bars and in prison. When terrorists hijacked Air Force One, they demanded that Marshall contact Petrov and release Radek. The United States' new policy, at that time, was to not negotiate with terrorists. The terrorists said that, for every half hour in which Radek stayed in prison, they would shoot a hostage on board the plane. When the lead terrorist, Ivan Korshunov, threatened to kill Marshall's daughter, Marshall agreed to have Radek released. He called up Petrov and asked him to release Radek, which he did. Woolf starred in the films, "The Rainmaker", "Death and Texas" and "Free".
