RIP Robert Forster....
You remember him from Jackie Brown, The Black Hole and Alligator.....RIP....
https://deadline.com/2019/10/robert-...lm-1202758555/ Robert Forster, an Academy Award nominee for his work as Max Cherry in Quentin Tarantino’s Jackie Brown, died at his Los Angeles home today following a brief battle with brain cancer. His death was confirmed by his family and representatives. Forster appeared in more than 100 films, including his latest, El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie, released today via Netflix. Born in Rochester, New York, Forster, a member of Triple Nine Society, graduated from the University of Rochester and then moved to New York City, where he was quickly cast in the Broadway production Mrs. Dally Has a Lover, opposite Arlene Francis. Forster’s performance caught the eye of director John Houston, who cast him in his first film, Reflections in a Golden Eye, with Elizabeth Taylor and Marlon Brando. He then worked with renowned director Haskell Wexler on Medium Cool, which became a classic due to its filming during the riots at the 1969 Democratic Convention in Chicago. He continued to make films and television series. Among his favorites were the series Banyon and films Alligator and American Perfekt. Other notable projects include The Descendants, Firewall, Me, Myself and Irene, the return of Twin Peaks, and last year’s What They Had. Forster also recently played Tim Allen’s father in Last Man Standing, a part he loved because the series was a comedy, a new genre for him. Forster completed three additional projects in 2019: El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie, Steven Spielberg’s Amazing Stories and Werewolf. He is survived by his children: Bobby, Elizabeth, Kate and Maeghen; his grandchildren: Tess, Liam, Jack and Olivia; and long time partner, Denise Grayson. Details of a memorial service have not yet been announced. |

He was a very underrated and under utilized talent.
Check out Diamond Men. It's a hidden gem if you enjoyed his performance as Max Cherry in Jackie Brown. |

Jackie Brown is one of the most underrated films out there. Second best film Tarantino has done after Django.

Also great in "What They Had." Just watched "El Camino." Nice telling of Jesse's journey. Forster reprised his role seamlessly. Reminded me of when Walt paid him $10,000 to play cards for an hour. RIP

He was a great actor and last saw him I’m Twin Peaks return but don’t know his pre Jackie Brown stuff. Can’t really explain it but he just had a particular charisma of a great guy that cared.
