As well as in "Planet of the Apes" and many other features - "Tora, Tora, Tora", "Battleground", "The Asphalt Jungle". Great in all of them, but I will always remember James Whitmore for "Them!" (And of course, some of you may remember those "Miracle-Grow" garden commercials!).

A great talent and a great loss. :(
