I was going to say “100 films and I never heard of him?”
Then I spotted this: “Forster also recently played Tim Allen’s father in Last Man Standing” and said “Aha! So THAT’S who he is.”

Holy crap I just watched him in a new Netflix movie that I won't name (spoilers).
He was great in it too.

I really enjoyed him in Jackie Brown. When I hear the Delfonics, I think of that film. Probably my favorite Tarantino flick.

He also played a convincingly evil jihadi in Chuck Norris’ “Delta Force”. That would be politically incorrect on several levels now.

But pretty sure there was no Democratic Convention in 1969. To quote Maxwell Smart, “Missed it by that much.”

Robert Forster was born in Rochester, New York. I was born and raised in Rochester, and went to high school from 1960-1965. During my freshman or sophomore year, Forster was doing substitute teaching for the Rochester School District, and ended up covering a study hall I was in. It was about the time that our yearbooks were out, and I know he signed my yearbook, but I can’t remember which year it actually was. One of these days I’m going to have to go down to the basement storage area, dig out my yearbooks, and find his entry.

Watched Jackie Brown for the first time ever about 3 weeks ago. He just seemed like a good decent guy. Both in the movie and I assume in real life. Just a normal nice guy. Sad he’s gone.

Wondering if Robert Forster knew he was dying and had him written out of his recurring role in Last Man Standing.

He is one of these guys who plays all kinds of little roles but does it so well he almost becomes invisible to us because we don't think of him as an actor while we watch. Torintino noticed that and gave him an important role in Jackie Brown. He was also in Breaking Bad as the guy who helped Walter White vanish .

In the late 60s he was in a tv series called “Banachek’’ were he played a 1930’s era private eye. Joan Blondell also stared in it. I think it was on ABC.

Just damn. One of my all time favorite actors. Loved him in Jackie Brown and as Tim Allen's father in Last Man Standing. I was very disappointed when he didn't return in the latest production, but I think I understand why now.
I live in Rochester and each time Forster returned to visit he got lots of local press. A great man - RIP.
