ReMind magazine reported that Whitaker described filming the beloved series, which ended in 1971, during the MidSouth Nostalgia Festival held in June 2025. During the event, he spoke highly of his co-stars, which included Brian Keith, Sebastian Cabot, Kathy Garver, and Anissa Jones. According to Whitaker, Keith, who played Jody's uncle, Bill Davis, who takes him and his siblings, Buffy (Jones) and Cissy (Garver), following their parents' death, "was a wonderful man, like an uncle."
In addition, he said Jones, who died in 1976, and Keith, who died in 1997, shared the trait of not enjoying the publicity of their work as actors.
The actor also spoke about Jones' 1976 death due to a drug overdose at the age of 18. He suggested he found the situation shocking because he was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Whitaker spoke about filming Family Affair during an April 2025 interview on KATU Lifestyle.
He also referenced that he and Garver are the only surviving members of the show's cast. According to the actor, he and Garver will occasionally spend time together at fan events.
