He is described as "MGM character actor best remembered as 'Professor Marvel' aka 'The Wizard' in 'The Wizard of Oz' (1939). He also played the role of the gatekeeper for the Emerald City in the same film. IMDB's trivia noted that he was "...considered a heavy drinker but kept his imbibing in the dressing room and seldom let it interfere with his professionalism and jovial manner on the set." Elsewhere on the web I also read that he may have brought a briefcase mini-bar with him to the set, but I am not certain if that is factual. I never expected to find a connection to the cocktail world. Cheers to the life and contributions of Frank Morgan! :drink: (Edited to add the two photos and the reference to the mini-bar on set.)
