Theater career

Undue weight is being put on Bolger's film career at the expense of his extensive work in theater. Reading this article would lead someone to believe that Bolger only became a "star" once he was film, despite decades in the theater and a later enormous success with "Where's Charley" (which would give him a signature tune forever associated with him, "Once In Love With Amy." 216.194.22.63 (talk) 07:03, 6 December 2008 (UTC) ray was a good man evry one loved him no-one disliked him[reply]

Raymond Wallace Bulcao

I think we need to reopen debate regarding Bolger's birthname, which may have been Raymond Wallace Bulcao, not Raymond Wallace Bolger, at least according to his profiles at Find a Grave and IMDb. Other editors have previously refused to accept this strong possibility, if not probability. Rms125a@hotmail.com (talk) 18:13, 5 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Neither of these is a reliable source. It's a myth. If his tombstone said it, on the other hand... All Hallow's Wraith (talk) 05:42, 3 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

He was born Raymond Wallace Bulcao (see this at the Dorchester Historical Society website. He was born and raised there so they would be the best judge. One cannot usually tell a birth name from a tombstone!! Quis separabit? 23:23, 27 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

He was born Raymond Wallace Bolger. See this, this, this, and this. All Hallow's Wraith (talk) 22:45, 24 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
