Trivia

Monogram Pictures created a huge buildup for Whip to become a movie cowboy star. The following claims were made -- that he was born in 1911 on a fabulous ranch in Pecos, Texas; was a rodeo champion; had an engineering degree; was a World War II Marine hero; was a direct descendant of General Custer; and did all of his movie stunts. None of these claims were true.

Whip was provided with a huge white horse named Silver Bullet. The name was later shortened to Bullet, and, still later, changed to Rocket because Roy Rogers had a dog companion named Bullet in his pictures.

During World War II he served in the US Marine Corps and saw combat in the Battle of Guadalcanal.

Wyoming Roundup was Whip Wilson's last in his series and in it he never used the whip. Indeed he did not even carry it. Thereafter he had two uncredited appearances and then retired. He was not considered a major "B" Western star. His acting was somewhat stiff and his films were mediocre at best. However he did have 22 films to his credit, more than the likes of Lash LaRue and Sunset Carson.
