We lost so much when Forster passed: "in life you never learn less, you always learn more..." he could capsulize an enormously important life experience into a small, easily digestible and tasty McNugget so's you can remember it; what an educator of the arts he was.
Skip E. Lowe, a.k.a. Sammy Labella from Mississippi, died on 09/22/2014. What a surprise to find this interview with one of my favourite actors, Robert Forster, on RUclips. Thank you!
I fondly remember him in "Reflections in a golden eye", "Diamond Men", "Mulholland Drive", "The Descendants" and I'm probably forgetting several titles. I am not familiar with his work for TV. Don't own a TV.
Rukasepar You don’t own a tv? That’s THE wisest thing that I’ve heard in decades. Congratulations on taking the right road. I do not own one either, as I strictly watch my healthy collection of Colombo, Jack Benny, Barnaby Jones, MASH, etc. now, hopefully I’m on the right track, in that you don’t own a tv by personal choice.
Quite true. Personal choice. After years of sitting for hours in front of the telly and flipping from channel to channel, I came to the conclusion that it's better to read a book, hear music, be with friends or phone them, walk in the park, go and see a movie in the theatre, enjoy my DVD collection and watch TV very selectively. National Geographic or History Channel, for example, are the perfect excuse to turn the TV on. News come from the internet, without annoying commercials. And if I want more details ... there's newspapers which can be read online. :-) But I digress ... I am a fan of Mr. Forster.
I saw whee Forster said that "Hollywood Harry", which he directed, "wasn't much". I beg to differ. I saw it about ten years ago--had never heard of it and saw it in the bargain bin of a 99-cent store--and thought it was terrific--funny, quirky, very well done and extremely enjoyable. Was a whole lot better than I thought it would be.
Robert Wallace Forster Jr.[1][2] (July 13, 1941 - October 11, 2019) was an American actor, known for his roles as John Cassellis in Medium Cool (1969), Captain Dan Holland in The Black Hole (1979), Abdul Rafai in The Delta Force (1986), and Max Cherry in Jackie Brown (1997), for which he was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor. Forster's varied filmography includes: Reflections in a Golden Eye (1967), Alligator (1980), Me, Myself & Irene (2000), Mulholland Drive (2001), The Descendants (2011), Olympus Has Fallen (2013), London Has Fallen (2016), What They Had (2018) and The Wolf of Snow Hollow (2020). He also had prominent roles in television series such as Banyon (1971-1973), Heroes (2007-2008), Twin Peaks (2017) and the Breaking Bad episode "Granite State" as Ed Galbraith, for which he won the Saturn Award for Best Guest Starring Role on Television. He reprised the role in the film El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie (2019) and Better Call Saul.
Didn't do his homework, delta force a mafia picture! He forgot to mention Lee Marvin was in it too. Started to ask him about Don is dead then changed subject!! Thought the scene showed from Jackie brown was boring. I love Robert Forster. Great actor/personality. Another wonderful actor/and human being is gone.
'Star' of Police Story? There WERE no 'stars'...it was an anthology series. Starring in one or two episodes of an anthology does NOT make one a 'star' of the series!
Robert forster is a BRILLIANT underrated actor and a great down to earth blue collar guy
He's my grandfather and I can't tell you how much that means to hear.
@@itspronouncedbort2522 if that's true all my heartfelt condolonces for you and your family.
Rest in Peace Robert Forster.
A blue collar guy with a 146+ IQ that is. Lovely guy.
Saddened by his death.

Rukasepar Robert was excellent in “Twin Peaks: The Return”. His quiet dignity and sharp eyes really fit well with the cast.
I fondly remember him in "Reflections in a golden eye", "Diamond Men", "Mulholland Drive", "The Descendants" and I'm probably forgetting several titles. I am not familiar with his work for TV. Don't own a TV.

He was outstanding in the TV show Banyon....the Sunset Blvd quote applies here. "I AM big. It's the pictures that got small."
Great actor

The interviewer doesn't stop interrupting.
So true. Just like Charlie Rose
19:15 Robert Forster breaks down the art of acting.
He has a nice subtle method to him and he is generous with his co stars.

I love Robert Forster. Great actor/personality.
Another wonderful actor/and human being is gone.
Great voice.
He really was Jiminy Glick.
What a great movie
Forster--my favorite actor. Is Mr. Lowe the worst interviewer of all time?
'Star' of Police Story? There WERE no 'stars'...it was an anthology series. Starring in one or two episodes of an anthology does NOT make one a 'star' of the series!
Forster is great. The interviewer is not.
