He was always good, but his best was a movie titled, Black Like Me. He played a white guy injected with a serum, that turned his skin color dark. This was in the 60s and was very powerful.

That face looks like my neighbor's face. He is down 60% in his 401K and doesn't understand what is taking so long for his "O'bama check" to arrive. HE'S only 63 years old!

I have such fond memories of James Whitmore from movies as far back as the early 40's. When I saw his picture, my heart sank. God Bless You, Mr. Whitmore…and thank you.
