Forbes March, a former soap actor who did stints on One Life to Live, All My Children and As the World Turns, was arrested in Hudson County, New York, earlier this month and charged with grand larceny for the alleged theft of used cooking oil from a diner.
The cooking oil has an estimated value of more than $1,000, according to the Ulster Police Department, and allegedly was siphoned by March and a second man, Oscar Guardado, from a storage container owned by a company called Buffalo Biodiesel. The tank was located behind Michael’s Diner, an Ulster restaurant.

Used cooking oil can be used to manufacture biofuels, and theft has been on the rise throughout the Northeast region in recent years as fuel prices increase. In an interview last year, Sumit Majumdar, the president of Buffalo Biodiesel, said the thefts have cost his company millions of dollars. “It’s ballooning,” he said. “It’s wiping out a third of our business. To put that into numbers: $10 million to $15 million a year.”
Buffalo Biodiesel collects used cooking grease from thousands of restaurants across 12 states for processing into biofuels.
According to the Ulster Police Department, March and Guardado were arrested on March 2 after police were called to Michael’s Diner on a report of two subjects siphoning used cooking oil from a container on the diner property.
March owns and operates a firewood delivery company based out of his farm in the Catskill Mountains. The New York Firewood Company supplies wood for restaurants and private residences.
Prior to his retirement from acting, March was a popular and busy actor of daytime soaps, starting with his role as Scott Chandler on ABC’s All My Children in 1999. He played Nash Brennan on ABC’s One Life to Live from 2005-08 and Mason Jarvis on CBS’ As the World Turns in 2009.
His other TV credits include the Canadian sci-fi series Mutant X, Degrassi: The Next Generation and the 2010 TV movie Degrassi Takes Manhattan.
Forbes March’s net worth is said to be 5 million dollars...
Oh no, Nash! Not smart.
I was an avid “One Life To Live” viewer and was a fan of his character. It was a sad day when he suffered a horrible bloody death.
It’s a shame he sunk to this.
I agree:) Nash’s death was so unexpected and violent.
'Tis but a tallow youth.
hmmm...so he was on tv for 10 yrs and now he sells firewood & steals used cooking oil. That’s quite a slide.
If he had done this in LA ... what would happen?
He LOOKS like a white man.
But they have that $1,000 floor before they consider theft a crime.
"Stealing used cooking oil."
And they all moved away from me on the bench
What'ya expect? He's dead. Who will hire him?

Greasy thieving bastard…
Heh:)
His Wikipedia page lists no roles since 2010, so...
I knew a guy who converted his diesel pickup to run on used cooking oil, and the exhaust did in fact smell like french fries. He was able to get the oil from restaurants for practically no cost but this was 20 years ago.
