===Friendships===
In an interview, Whitman said that he and [[Broderick Crawford]] clicked upon meeting on the set of ''Highway Patrol''. Whenever Whitman was low on cash, he would tell Crawford, who continued to re-invite him. Both would hang-out outside of the workplace. Later, Whitman helped Crawford to be cast in ''[[The Decks Ran Red]]''.

Another ''The Decks Ran Red'' co-star Whitman commented on was [[Dorothy Dandridge]], who was going through a divorce and had to institutionalize her mentally ill daughter. Whitman was impressed with her strength and described her as a goddess.{{citation needed|date=December 2021}}

Whitman said that when he first met [[Peter Falk]] on the set of ''[[Murder, Inc. (1960 film)|Murder, Inc.]]'', they had their differences but eventually became friends. Whitman found ''[[The Mark (1961 film)|The Mark]]'' director [[Guy Green (filmmaker)|Guy Green]] difficult to work with, finding him demanding and too strict, but they became good friends afterwards. On the set of ''[[Sands of the Kalahari]]'', Whitman said he became best friends with fellow cast members [[Stanley Baker]] and [[Theodore Bikel]]. While he didn't click with [[Jim Brown]] at first, they too became friends.

In the same piece, Whitman said that [[Terry-Thomas]] was one of his best friends.
