frank morgan
in "the wizard of oz", the wizard's character is similar to that found in the earlier books; a bumbling "humbug". he was played by actor frank morgan who also played several other roles in the movie including professor marvel (the mysterious traveling fortune-teller who dorothy meets in kansas with a horse named sylvester), the doorman at the emerald city, the guard at the gates to the wizard's castle, and the coachman whose transport is drawn by "the horse of a different color". his face was also presumably used as the projected image of the wizard. like dorothy, the wizard himself hails from kansas, proudly stating that he is "an old kansas man myself, born and bred in the heart of the western wilderness". however, the balloon says "omaha state fair"on it and omaha is in nebraska, not kansas. in the film, the wizard is seen only as a floating head and as a human, not in any of the other shapes that he appears in the book.
