Which role did Frank Sinatra play in the 1960 heist film Ocean's 11?

The story behind the answer

Frank Sinatra played Danny Ocean in the 1960 heist film Ocean’s 11.

Danny Ocean is the leader who assembles an eleven-member crew to rob five Las Vegas casinos in a coordinated New Year’s Eve scheme. The character’s name became the foundation for the later Ocean’s film franchise, in which George Clooney played a reinvented version of Danny Ocean.

The original film was directed and produced by Lewis Milestone and featured several members of the Rat Pack, including Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., Peter Lawford, and Joey Bishop. The cast’s real-life Las Vegas performance culture shaped the movie’s atmosphere. The alternative names in the quiz are not Sinatra’s character: Jimmy Foster, Josh Howard, and Sam Harmon were played by other members of the ensemble.
