Could you imagine anyone other than Humphrey Bogart playing Rick Blaine? It’s the role he’s probably now best-known for, but once upon a time, it seemed there was going to be someone else in the character’s shoes. It was widely speculated that Ronald Reagan – who at the time had yet to consider running for presidency – was going to play the part. Where did the rumor come from? Warner Bros. Studios themselves. It stated very clearly in their publicity release that he was going to be Rick, but that never happened.
