As with most people of his generation, a real class act.He played many roles, but one of the last movies I saw him in was The Majestic,with Jim Carry. In one of his scenes,he gave a speach, you could tell how emotions went deep about the war. We will not see his kind again.

I was fortunate enough to see Whitmore in "Give 'Em Hell, Harry." It was great and Whitmore was thoroughly convincing. I've seen it a couple times with other actors playing the part but, for me, Whitmore WAS Harry Truman.
I've also been lucky enough to see Hal Holbrook as Mark Twain in his one man show. Another brilliant actor in a part that seems made just for him. I recall a movie entitled "The Next Voice You Hear" that starred Whitmore and Nancy Davis (the future 1st Lady) that is quite intriguing. It's about a family that hears the voice of God over their radio. It sounds corny but isn't and is thought-provoking. His performance in "The Shawshank Redemption" should have gotten him the Oscar.

Do forget his "Will Rogers' USA" show, either.
 Great actor.

Some years ago PBS aired his Will Rogers show. It takes special skills for any actor to pull of a one-man/woman show. That Whitmore did it several times is astonishing and a real testimonial to his incredible talent.
I think "great actor" about sums it up. I cannot think of any actor of his generation who was more natural or believable.
