The actor Robert Forster has died at 78. Amassing 186 screen credits, Forster was a stalwart of 70s and 80s TV, starring in his owned short-lived period detective series Banyon and then Twin Peaks. But thank God for Quentin Tarantino, who revived Forster’s career with the character of Max Cherry in Jackie Brown; Max’s streetwise strength and basic Midwestern decency was a perfect fit for Forster. Forster went on to close his career with excellent material, worthy of his talent, including The Descendants and last year’s What We Had.
