My favorite James Whitmore film ever


I liked "Black Like Me" better than any other film James Whitmore made. This film made a lot of white people turn against segregation and racism. James Whitmore just died yesterday (of cancer; and on Bob Marley's birthday, actually). I hope he found peace with God. He was a good actor. I sympathize with his struggle with this cruel disease. My own mother has terminal lung cancer and has only weeks or months at the most they say, so I fully understand and I offer my prayers and sincere condolences for his family.

So long, Captain Benteen! We salute you!

He was even better as Brooks in the ShawShank Redemption.
