When the Wizard of Oz began filming, who was cast as the Tin Man?

they forgot to mention Ray Bolger as Hunk/the Scarecrow. a tremendous dancer and actor. love everything he's in.

I would like to see Buddy Ebsen as the Tin Man.

happydoghappycat, we are the inheritors of the america they sacraficed and suffered for.salute to their generation! thanks.

Filmed in the middle of the Greatt Depression What a difficult time to endure those years. I am not strong enough to have lived through those years.

One of the few movies that are a real classic movie! No matter how old it is, it is a must see by everyone. With all of the movies being remade lately, I truly hope that they never remake this movie. There could never be a remake worthy of this movie. OZ The Great and Powerful( with Mila Kunis and James Franco) was not a remake but a prequel to the original. Therefore it didn't try to redo a classic, just add to the story. I liked the movie but don't think that James Franco should have been chosen for that role.

Also, the studio, gave teen Judy drugs to reduce appetite, as they feared the developing girl looked to old for the part, and then downers as she couldn’t sleep, beginning the spiral that would end her troubled life. I loved the movie so much, and was so saddened to read the accounts of her experience.

Buddy has a good run n Beverly Hillbillies and Barnaby Jones.. was a great actor.

happydoghappycat, The movie was 10 years after the Great Depression tho the country was still feeling it affects. My grandparents would feed anyone who needed a meal at no cost or work. The movie was the first movie to use black and white as well as color. Very ingenious!

I saw Wizard of Oz at a special showing of it on the big screen at a theater in 1986 with my son, who was 7 at the time. It was an amazing experience.

Buddy Epson was a great dancer too

Shelby Johnson, not a remake, but a "take-off", I suppose they call it, was "The Oz". Michael Jackson starred.

Frank Zappa, You should read his books, and he did newspaper articles but I can't find any of them.

happydoghappycat, you would never know what you are capable of til you try! These days, I cling to that every day.

Jack Haley name is in the credits not Buddy

KrayzeeKaffkins, But they could have mentioned him in the explanation.

love this movie💕

Somebody actually thought this was a secret, no one knows the answer, question.

Gary, probably because they can only have 4 answers unfortunately.
