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]

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. [email protected] (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]
