MINI BIO:
With sad eyes but a massive smile, Dooley Wilson was a singing drummer and nightclub owner in his early years. He took up acting in 1930 and won praise for his leading role in the stage production of Cabin in the Sky. He then brought his warm personality to films, most notably as Sam the pianist at Rick's Café American in the film Casablanca. Ironically, this was easily his best-remembered role, but in real life, he could not play a note and was dubbed for the film.
