“	Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain! The Great Oz has spoken!	„
	~ The Wizard of Oz, upon being exposed.

Oscar Zoroaster Phadrig Isaac Norman Henkle Emmannuel Ambroise Diggs, Oscar Diggs for short, but better known as The Wizard of Oz is the titular character and one of the two overarching protagonists (alongside Glinda the Good Witch) of The Wizard of Oz franchise, of the children's novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz and the 1939 movie adaptation of the same name, the main protagonist of its 2013 prequel, Oz the Great and Powerful, and the main antagonist of Wicked and its musical and film adaptions.

He is not a real wizard but an ordinary man from Omaha, Nebraska who was accidentally sent to Oz in a hot air balloon in a terrible storm while performing at the carnival. When he landed in Oz, the people thought he was a great wizard and gave him a job as their local sorcerer. His Kansas counterpart is a touring fortune teller named Professor Chester Marvel who had a horse named Sylvester.

Portrayals[]

In the original 1939 MGM film, he was played by the late Frank Morgan who also played, Professor Chester Marvel, the Gatekeeper, a Cabbie, and the Wizard's bodyguard.
In the 2013 prequel movie, he was portrayed by James Franco,
In the 2017 Boomerang series Dorothy and the Wizard of Oz, he is voiced by Tom Kenny.

Appearance[]

The Wizard of Oz is a man, who used to run the Emerald City before Queen Ozma took charge. He has a grey moustache, a hat with green and red gems. He also wears a dark green jacket, a chocolate coloured shirt, a brown chequered pattern trousers and dark brown shoes.

Personality[]

In the original film, the Wizard of Oz used to be loud and booming when Dorothy and the gang first met him. But instead, he revealed his true colours when he pretended to sound great and powerful, even though he wasn't. Now, the Wizard shows a remorseful kinder side, and offered to give Dorothy a ride back home to Kansas, but the trip backfired, and he flew away in his balloon, and he wasn't seen again until the second series of the animated show. When the Wicked Witch of the West brainwashed the Wizard to make Dorothy give up the Ruby Slippers, her powers somehow got transferred from her and into the Wizard, making him great and powerful for the first time. Now, he uses the witch's powers, which he still has controlling to handle it with. But now, the now Great and Powerful Wizard of Oz is magical, friendly, loyal, sometimes forgetful and is always happy to help Dorothy and her friends on their missions.

History[]

When a little farm girl named Dorothy Gale and her pet dog Toto are swept away by a Kansas cyclone and unexpectedly transported to the magical Land of Oz, she is desperate to find a way home again. The only one powerful enough to truly help Dorothy is the mysterious and reclusive dominant ruler of Oz known as the great Wizard. The girl and her dog are then forced to embark on a remarkable journey filled with many adventures as they travel throughout Oz to seek him. However, no one knows that this Wizard has a shocking secret to protect! And to do so he will send Dorothy to prove herself worthy of his assistance; to successfully eliminate Oz's most dreaded baddie—the Wicked Witch of the West, or die trying.

Trivia[]

The late W.C. Fields was the original cast as the Wizard of Oz, but the late Ed Wynn declined as he thought the Fields would be too small for the role. In addition to Fields, the late Wallace Beery wanted to take the role of the Wizard of Oz, but MGM refused to spare him during the long shooting schedule as MGM decided to cast Morgan in the role of the Wizard of Oz instead.
His full name is Oscar Zoroaster Phadrig Isaac Norman Henkel Emmannuel Ambroise Diggs, being the only character in the story to have a long name, and only referred using his first two initials.
