I agree with both of you. The President's Man was just a tease. His part was very important but too small. He looked great as always. In Walker, I think that was an excellent bit of casting on their part. I also cry every time I watch it. I wished that they had not killed off his character. That series ran for a long time and it would have been great to bring back his character in another episode or two.
I do disagree about the Hallmark movie Wounded Heart. I think he played an excellent part. The reason the role may disappoint some is probably because we are used to Mr. Whitman playing such strong characters and this one was weak due to illness. You can tell that Jake had been a very strong person until his stroke. He was as stubborn as ever, but weakened by his disability and the potential loss of his ranch. It was tough to see his entire role filmed with him in a wheelchair. Definitely a unique role for him. It showed that he is not uncomfortable playing weakened characters. He is one of the few actors that I know of that can play rough and tumble roles and also play sensitive and vulnerable ones. He is truly one of a kind.
