Among the actors considered by Warner Bros. to play "Rick."

Raft was offered the role of Walter Neff and turned it down.

Raft, questionable in his judgment of good movie roles, turned down a whopper by spurning the chance to play "Roy 'Mad Dog' Earle" in what became a classic thriller.

Raft turned down the part of Sam Spade because he did not feel it was an "important picture." Oops!
