RIP Robert, just saw this on the news. He had some good roles.

I didn't know Forster was in that movie. I had crush on Pam Grier.

That is sad, I liked him as an actor. He seemed to act like himself in the movies he was in,very down to Earth.

Very sad news. Have watched him since I was a kid and the Black Hole came out. I liked him a lot.

Just finished watching El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie. According to IMDB, it was his second to last completed role.

The earliest work I know of him was Jackie Brown, and was very impressed by his speaking style. He spoke with such calm, clarity, and authority, I thought I can understand anything if he was doing the explaining. When he showed up on Breaking Bad, it was a very pleasant surprise. He spoke his lines just as well as he did in Jackie Brown.
RIP sir, you did fine work.

What a loss! I just watched him Friday on the NetFlix sequel (movie) to Breaking Bad: "El Camino-The Return of Jessie Pinkman". As usual, Mr. Forster gave an excellent performance.

He played Tim Allen's dad. I always enjoyed his work.
