5. Whitmore the Character Actor
One of the film’s most haunting performances is given by veteran actor James Whitmore as the prison’s elderly librarian, Brooks Hatlen. Upon his release from prison, Brooks commits suicide because he’s incapable of handling life in the outside world. Darabont chose to cast Whitmore in the role because of his fondness for the actor, who’d appeared in a string of memorable roles for more than 50 years running.
