Who is Bogie

[lewsk]

Jerome tries it (Hodges' new hat)on and gives it that exact tilt.
“What do you think? Do I look like Bogie?”
“I hate to disappoint you,” Hodges says, “but Bogie was Caucasian.”
“So Caucasian he practically shimmered,” Janey adds.

I google Bogie, and found only
Jacobs bogies (named after Wilhelm Jakobs, 1858–1942, a German railway engineer).
It is him who Jerome refers to? I don't think.

Bogie is the short form of Bogart. People often refered to him a Bogie.

why is "so Caucasian he practically shimmered"?

I guess the inference is that Bogie was so unmistakably anglo American,he could not be identified as any other racial makeup..

Well he was kind of a short little fella, and what with sportin' those snappy wide brim fedoras, he was always in the Sam Shade is what I'm sayin'
