Along with the rest of the world I marvelled at the Oscar winning performance Whitaker gave in 2006's Last King of Scotland playing the bonkers dictator Idi Amin. However it is his TV performances that I seem to have enjoyed the most. The two characters he played on ER and The Shield, while different in circumstance were troubled individuals always seemingly on the edge of reason. The scenes from the sixth season of The Shield between Vic Mackey (Michael Chiklis) and Lt Kavanaugh (Whitaker) were some of the best in the shows history.
