But when the film passed $300,000,000 in international box office, director/producer Steven Spielberg sent him a "thank you" check for $10,000, which Coyote considered very generous.

1981

Tested for the role of Indiana Jones in Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981). His clumsiness during this process endeared him to Steven Spielberg, who felt that the role of the childlike Keys in E.T. - The Extra Terrestrial (1982) would be perfect for Coyote.
