I can't imagine ANYONE else in any of bogie's roles. From the amoral Rick in "Casablanca," to Charlie in "African Queen," to Fred C. Dobbs in "Treasure Of The Sierra Madre." Who could have done those roles better?

Can you believe that Ronald Reagan was the first choice for Rick in Casablanca. Meaning no disrespect to Reagan's acting ability (I enjoyed a lot of the movies he made), he couldn't hold a candle to Bogie as Rick. It just would NOT have worked.
