George Raft rejected roles such as Rick in Casablanca which made what other actor famous?
Actually, George Raft did not reject the part of Rick in Casablanca. He wanted the part very, very badly.It is a case of true, perfect irony. Raft had always played tough-guy roles, and wanted to change his image by playing the hero. So, he turned down the role of "Mad Dog" Roy Erle in High Sierra (1941) and Sam Spade in the Maltese Falcon(1941). These roles were then offered to Humphrey Bogart, who was happy to take them.It was Bogart's success in those roles which made the studios want him for the part of Rick in Casablanca. Had George Raft accepted the roles in High Sierra and the Maltese Falcon, the studios wouldn't have wanted Bogart so badly for Casablanca, and Raft might have gotten to play Rick.
