The part of the Tin Woodman originally was assigned to Raymond Wallace Bulcao ka Ray Bolger [January 10, 1904-January 15, 1987]. But Bolger was interested in a role that would showcase his acting, dancing and singing skills. So he persuaded those in charge of making the beloved 1939 film version of 'The Wizard of Oz' to let him switch roles with Christian Rudolph Ebsen, Jr. ka Buddy Ebsen [April 2, 1908-July 6, 2003]. Ebsen originally had been assigned the role of the Scarecrow. Ebsen moved into the role of the Tin Woodman, only to develop a serious allergic reaction to the makeup. Ebsen then was replaced by John Joseph Haley, Jr. ka Jack Haley [August 10, 1898-June 6, 1979].

Specifically, Jack Haley was the third choice to play the part. The role originally was assigned to Ray Bolger (January 10, 1904 - January 15, 1987). But Ray persuaded the movie makers to let him switch roles with Buddy Ebsen (April 2, 1908 - July 6, 2003). Buddy originally had been assigned the role of the Scarecrow. Unfortunately, he did not last in the Tin Woodman's role because he developed a serious allergic reaction to the makeup. Jack permanently replaced him in the role.

The Wizard of Oz was actually a regular guy hiding behind a curtain and using a machine to create a mighty and powerful display of "The Wizard." Dorothy and her friends believed him the first time. After destroying the witch they came back to him, but he tried to deny their rewards. Dorothy's dog Toto sniffed him out behind the curtain and started pulling it away.
