I stand by my assertion....this is something that I've debated with other actors and teachers...Theater Arts was my major in college....I would have to say again that Bogart IS a personality....again he may have been effective in the role you pointed to....but a true actor transcends the role and makes you suspend the belief that they are playing the role and they become that character....The other actors I mentioned have all done this to greater and lesser varying degrees....attached is a scene with Tracy and Bergman in Jekyll and Hyde....Tracy insisted on little to no makeup...he simply became evil....THAT is what acting is......
