I'll always remember him as the crusty old sergeant in "Battleground."

RIP

One of my favorite movies and I don't think he had to act very hard ... Semper Fi ...

Good actor. I remember the scene where a GI in a passing truck yells at Whitmore, “Hey, handsome, here!”, and throws him a cigar.

One of his best roles was in “Combat.”
He played a German Lt. who to avoid capture masqueraded as a Priest.
A very poignant scene where he’s hearing the confession of a young soldier.

He was a very very good actor.

RIP
