He looks Greek in that photo, but I don’t think he was.

Some folks make a career out of character acting.
They give up having their name at the top of the marque, in exchange for getting more work and more exposure.
If he worked with director John Huston (Angelica Huston’s father), he must have been impressive early on.

My fave of his was one of his earlier films, “Medium Cool,” filmed in real time as the 1968 Democratic convention was going on. Very much a product of its times (non-linear, improv, etc), but worth watching for a great performance by RF, and an interesting cameo by a young Peter Boyle as a firearms instructor.

Robert Forster was a member of the Triple Nine Society. The Triple Nine Society (TNS) is an international high IQ society for adults whose score on a standardised test demonstrates an IQ at or above the 99.9th percentile of the human population. The Society recognizes scores from over 20 different tests of adult intelligence. The Triple Nine Society is a non-profit, 501(c)(7) organization incorporated in Virginia, USA. The organization was founded in 1978. As of October 2018, TNS reports a member base of over 1,900 adults residing in 50 countries. The Society’s constitution encourages friendship, communication, and intellectual exploration. TNS members communicate online, at gatherings, and through Vidya, the Society’s bimonthly journal.

He was a very intelligent man.
