mariojacobs,

I intended to point out that Sam in Casablanca is not a butler.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casablanca_(film)

... Dooley Wilson as Sam. He was one of the few American-born members of the cast. A drummer, he had to fake playing the piano. Even after shooting had been completed, producer Wallis considered dubbing over Wilson's voice for the songs. ...

... Spotting Rick's friend and house pianist, Sam, Ilsa asks him to play "As Time Goes By". Rick storms over, furious that Sam disobeyed his order never to perform that song and is stunned to see Ilsa. ...

No, but he is on the Wikipedia list you referred to, which is probably not the most reliable.

I just rewatched Casablanca. Sam definitely was not a butler. If there was a butler it would be Carl
