Cooler King question

[Dogwatcher]

Devotees of The Great Escape might be able to answer this question...

Steve McQueen was known as Captain Hilts and The Cooler King in The Great Escape, one of the best films ever made.

But, what was his first name? I can't find it anywhere.

Be interesting to see if anyone's got the answer to this one...

According to IMDB, it's Virgil.

Virgil, a very bad name for the coolest man in Hollywood.

shame on you DW...some great characters have been called Virgil.

Have you forgotten the best of the Tracy brothers and of course Mr Tibbs??? and then there's the poet himself

Yes, they reinforce the non-coolness of the name Virgil.
