I really hope I am not showing my true age here but I remember him from his 1975 Give 'em Hell, Harry.

Anyone remember this commercial?

Asker's Rating:
• I'm picking this answer because I haven't seen Whitmore as Truman before and it was very interesting. Not that the Brooks sequence in "Shawshank" isn't terrific, because it is.

Shawshank Redemption

In the first video watch at 0:11 where Brooks is told to put the knife down. Then again he is shown at 3:08 on when he gets out, and working at the grocery store at 5:20, and feeding the birds at 5:55.

In the second video watch at 1:04 where Brooks feeds the bird.

I would have to say my favorite is Shawshank Redemtion. Not only is it arguably one of his best movies it is also one of my favorite of all time. I really like the scene where he's talking about how hard it is on the outside.
Dear fellas, I can't believe how fast things move on the outside." I saw an automobile once when I was a kid but now they're everywhere. The world went and got itself in a big damn hurry. The parole board got me into this halfway house called "The Brewer". And a job bagging groceries at the Foodway. It's hard work and I try to keep up but my hands hurt most of the time. I don't think the store manager likes me very much. Sometimes after work I go to the park and feed the birds. I keep thinking Jake might just show up and say hello. But he never does. I hope wherever he is he's okay and makin' new friends. I have trouble sleepin' at night. I have bad dreams like I'm falling. I wake up scared. Sometimes it takes me a while to remember where I am. Maybe I should get me a gun, an, an rob the Foodway so they'd send me home. I could shoot the manager while I was at it, sort of like a bonus. I guess I'm too old for that sort of nonsense anymore. I don't like it here. I'm tired of being afraid all the time. I've decided not to stay. I doubt they'll kick up any fuss. Not for an old crook like me."

Shawshank Redemption, when he is forced to leave prison, and eventually commits suicide. Very sad!
