Napoleon Whiting (September 21, 1910, Mississippi – October 22, 1984, Los Angeles, California), was an American character actor.
He played many bit parts, often uncredited, as a menial worker such as the black butler, a stereotypical role.
Whiting was best known to television audiences for his work as Silas on The Big Valley, a typecast but highly visible role.
