: 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.

: I saw the "Walker" episode
: too. I thought SW was fantastic!
: And, yes, I cried at the end too.
: He has such a powerful presense
: about him. I think sometimes that's
: forgotten because he has that
: sensitive side also. I think that's
: what makes him so good. There was a
: movie called "The President's
: Man" with Chuck Norris done in
: 2002, I think. SW had a small part
: (2 scenes) but he looked good.
: Still had that handsome face and
: looked really fit. It would be nice
: if some casting people would wise up
: and get him some acting jobs. It
: would be great to see him again. In
: the meantime, I just sit back and
: watch CS and other dvds I have with
: him over and over
: and...........Never get tired of
: watching him! :)
