I was surprised to learn he was still alive (a few years ago).
Those Magnificent Men In Their Flying Machines is probably what I remember him best for but more recently the great mid 70s action film Strange Shadows in An Empty Room.

Recall him from the 1960s TV Western series 'Cimarron Strip.'
Stuart was supposedly the inspiration for the 'Frankie Fain' character in THE OSCAR -- following his nominated performance in THE MARK in the early 1960s.

Whitman trivia: he was Hitchcock's choice for the role of Sam in Psycho, but Hitch's agent Lew Wasserman pressed for John Gavin, another of his clients. I can see Whitman in the role. He projected intensity Gavin couldn't quite muster, and looked more like someone who'd run a small town hardware store.

He had the BEST-LOOKING six-shooter (revolver) in ANY Western television-series that I've EVER SEEN!

I never saw Cimarron Strip.
That reminds me though I have yet to see the Honk Kong-filmed Hammer film SHATTER.
Another one I caught more recently is REVENGE! which is much like MISERY (so much so that it makes me wonder if Stephen King saw it).
Stuart Whitman portrays a fake psychic who discovers that ESP is real.

I have seen and enjoyed him in a few films although I would frequently confuse him with Stephen Boyd. I had to look up to remember which of them was in “The Third Secret” (1964). It was Boyd.
An early small role in “The Girl In Black Stockings” (1957) which I reviewed last week on the regular Saturday thread
The Story of Ruth (1960)
The Comancheros (1961)
Rio Conchos (1964) One of my favorite westerns
Sands Of The Kalahari (1965)
He lived a long, and I hope, happy and healthy life.

Murder Inc as the average joe married to Edie the no talent chorus girl raped by Peter Falk.
Ten North Fredrick as Charlie the Italian American trumpeter who falls for ,and elopes with Diana Vasi TGE society girl . It’s the center of the story arc but a small part. He generates great intensity and makes both the rough edges and the gentleness of his character so believable .
Rest in hope mr Whitman . You gave a lot of fine performances
