As a kid, no question, no contest - the Lion. As I matured, it was the Scarecrow. But now, I think I'll exit stage left with this choice still holding firm - Professor Marvel (much more so than the Wizard.)<br /><br />My second favorite role of his is in "The Wild Man of Borneo". I like to apply my TV crossover tendencies to the notion that his character in "The Wild Man Of Borneo" was actually Professor Marvel, come home to his family.....Toby O'Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06999037844031101965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7210602.post-33809536823490610982015-11-23T17:28:04.132-06:002015-11-23T17:28:04.132-06:00Wonderful profile of Fran Morgan.

For sentiment's sake, Oz is my favourite performance (indeed, I can't imagine anyone else playing the role) but I think he did a great job in Tortilla Flat.
