If not Harrison Ford (or Tom Selleck), who would you have picked to play Indy?

I did not realize the amount of actors whose names were being mentioned in regards to being cast as Indy. I feel like pretty much every admirer of this film knows that Tom Selleck was originally going to be Indy before Ford was chosen.
If you were tasked with casting an actor to play Indy, who would you have narrowed it down to/chosen?
(during the early 80s, not modern day)

For me, my definite choice would have been Sam Elliott. I did not know until very recently that his name was brought up as a choice to play Indy. Much like Ford, Sam Elliott is the type of actor who has a genuine element old school of grit/gumption in addition to being well-spoken and deeply articulate. A perfect balance and combination of brains and balls: the professor side mixed with the undaunted adventurer side.

Thoughts?
