Who doesn’t love Whit? Odyssey would not be the same without him!

Yeah. Whit’s great. I like Paul Herlinger MUCH better than Hal Smith. He just has a better voice, I think.
Trivia: Paul’s first appearance: “Search for Whit”, Paul’s last appearance (to date; not counting Truth Chronicles): “The Imagination Station, Revisited”

More Trivia:
The original actor of Whit (Hal Smith) died, and the Odyssey team didn’t know what to do. SO, they sent Eugene and Bernard on a road trip while they figured out what to do. When Eugene and Bernard got back, Whit had left for the middle east. You hear some brief clips of Whit in this episode and phone messages and stuff. These are past things Whit has said in previous episodes. When they found a replacement actor (Paul Herlinger), they brought him back in “Search for Whit.”

Whit is one awesome dude. Even more awesome for crediting God with his “awesomeness” (and being modest about it).
