Robert Forster, resurgent Oscar nominee from 'Jackie Brown,' dies at 78

That's not right. I loved him in that film.

RIP

Robert Forster, Resurgent Oscar Nominee From 'Jackie Brown,' Dies at 78

 

Good write-up. He was a cool character.
I love Jackie Brown. Pam Grier and Bridget Fonda nailed their parts, as well as Samuel L. Jackson in his most manic role ever, which is saying a lot.

 

Agreed. Also my favorite Tarantino film.

 

He was also great in the Descendents. But Max Cherry is the character I'll think of first.

 

Great classic actor. Loved him in The Black Hole. RIP.

 

Just watched him in El Camino and he was great in it, can’t believe I’m reading this right now. What a talent and a screen presence, damn—rest in peace.

 

Awe man... he's so good in MEDIUM COOL. And of course his classic turn later in his career in JACKIE BROWN.

"People rarely say the real reasons for things...big corporations never do! It's just politics, plain bureaucratic, politics".



R.I.P.

 

Sad, but at least Jackie Brown gave him back his career. Quinton used the knocks life had given Robert to allow the two of them to create an indelible character.

 

Just rewatched Jackie Brown last Sunday in a double feature with the "prequel," Life of Crime. I hadn't seen LoC before and wanted to see if it fleshed out Lewis and Ordell's relationship a little bit. Decided to watch Jackie Brown after to finish their story.

It's amazing how Forster's (and Pam Grier's) understated performances outshined the more well known (at the time) heavyweights of Jackson and De Niro.

RIP Robert...

Saw him in many movies.

 

This dude died on the same day that El Camino was released. What a trip!

 

Aww, he was such a good actor.
Rest well, sir.

 

Yeah, it’s weirding me out a bit, was literally just marveling at how good he was this morning when El Camino hit Netflix at midnight today.

I’m so glad he got to reprise his role from Breaking Bad, as that character ended up being key to both the end of that show AND its spinoff movie El Camino.

 

one of my favorites...loved him. R.I.P.

 

So good in the recent Twin Peaks revival.

 

I first saw and liked him in the 'The Black Hole', then it was 'Jackie Brown'. I enjoyed both performances - I'm happy to have just seen those. I'm glad Quentin offered him the 'Jackie Brown' role, which was convincing to me.

 

R.I.P. Robert

 

He died from brain cancer.

 

Robert made some great exploitation fare and his acting in Jackie Brown was subtle and funny and I thought the best thing in the movie. Too bad he and Pam didn't make more films together. They had great chemistry. RIP Robert!

 

Oh man. Not cool. Jackie Brown, Twin Peaks, The Black Hole, Breaking Bad...

One of Hollywood's most underrated actors.

 

Liked him in BB.

 

Man....he was one super cool actor. Had the chops, and made it look easy. RIP Robert.

 

RIP. He made it look so easy.

 

I watched him in El Camino and found out he had passed just after. Sad. Great underrated actor loved him in "Banyon".

 

a small role comes to mind in the movie The Lady In Red where he plays the real John Dillinger...and of course The role in Me, Myself & Irene was great!
