SUBSCRIBE: ‪@TheSprocketVault‬ Actor William Tracy famously portrayed Sergeant Dorian "Dodo" Doubleday in a popular series of World War II-era military comedies. Sgt.

His book-smart brilliance constantly frustrates his rival, the tougher and more cynical Sergeant Ames, played by Joe Sawyer. The character first appeared in Tanks a Million (1941) and returned in a series of Hal Roach Streamliners and feature films -- including Hay Foot (1942) and Mr. Walkie Talkie (1952) -- spanning around eight service comedies.
