Humphrey Bogart is considered one of the greatest actors in the history of American cinema, particularly with an emphasis on Hollywood’s classical era. Bogart was a member of the Navy before he became a movie idol. He enlisted to fight in WWI, and he saw combat and was injured in action.

Bogart also reportedly tried to enlist in WWII, but he was turned down because he was too old. Before he became an actor, he had a brief role as an office assistant. Bogart would later go on to star in movies such as Casablanca and The Maltese Falcon, among others.
