When Whitney was a mere teenager he woulld run home from church every Sunday night so he would not miss, "The JACK BENNY SHOW", his favorite show. He would watch with the fervor of a fan and the scrutiny of a fascinated student, eager to learn all he could from the master comedian.
Before long, Whitney found he could mimic the famous BENNY, "Well l ..." and soon after, the phrases "Oh, Don..." and "Oh Dennis" and of course, "Now cut that out!" But at fourteen years old he was a little too young to play 39. Now however, he has attained the appropriate mature age of 40 39 and a remarkable likeness to his famous mentor.
Whitney in his own right is also an actor and mime. He has appeared in various TV shows and films and has had his own TV series, the KNBC children's show, "Whitney and the Robot". This experience enables Whitney to play the part of JACK BENNY, not just look like him. His experience entertaining live audiences gives him ease in front of any size group.
JACK BENNY was unique in many ways and his 'walk' and mannerisms are most definately unique. Whitney's mime training enables him to transform his body to become 'Bennyesque', and and his background in improvisation is invaluable to his keen ability to improvise in character as if he were Mr. BENNY.
So if you are looking for entertainment that includes the qualities of 'youth', 'thriftiness', and lots of laughs; look no further than:
(The Queen Mary did -- so did KCBS, as well as various parties, conventions and other great events!)
