He had a reputation as one of the best cabinetmakers in the city, and his services were much in demand on Los Angeles' trendy Westside long before he became a movie star.
His chin scar is from an accident when working as a carpenter, which was retrofitted in to the Indy character by having his younger self (played by River Phoenix) get a slash of a whip in the intro to The Last Crusade.

Honestly, you'd be hard pushed to find a more unpleasant guy in Hollywood than Harry Cohn. I was reading about him recently. Definitely the Harvey Weinstein of his day, though probably worse.
