Nothing against Mr. Forrest, but SWAT needs to die with him.

Actually, I should clarify that.

The laws that empower SWAT to do what they do need to die.

The brother of Dana Andrews. I remember Mr. Forrest from “Dallas” when he was trying to impersonate Jock Ewing during the “dream” season. RIP.

Sheesh, haven’t thought of him in ages, but he was a “man’s man”, and a good actor. RIP.

My friends and I always liked to play SWAT with our BB guns. I was usually the sniper, TJ.

One of the few shows we got on AFN TV when I was a kid when family stationed in Germany. Never missed a show. We all would play SWAT even though we were Army brats....and I had to be Hondo Harrelson

RIP Mr Forrest

He was also ‘The Baron’ in a British TV series that played from 1965-1966.

Plus many many other tv shows back to the 1950’s.

He will be missed.

RIP

He had a beautifully melodic basso voice, nearly as deep as James Earl Jones.
