      I'll always remember him from a few specific roles he played.

      The star of the movie Black Like Me
      The Captain on the Twilight Zone episode On Thursday We Leave for Home.
      The Miracle Grow guy
      and Shawshank

            Don't forget he played Bull Halsey in "Tora!Tora!Tora!".

            RIP, Mr. Whitmore.

                        Another western star. I've seen him in several episodes of the Big Valley playing different characters and sure he was in other westerns of the 60's.

                        R.I.P.
