ROBERT FORSTER  received his Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor in "Jackie Brown" during a phenomenal resurgence in his career.  He had described his career as having, "a five year upwards first act and a twenty-five year sliding second act," but since his nomination has worked non-stop in a prestigious slate of projects for film and television.  He has co-starred in both major studio fare and artistic independent films.  

A native of Rochester, N.Y., Forster began his acting career in local community theater.  Moving to New York City in 1965, he made his professional debut in the two-character Broadway production of Mrs. Dally Has A Lover.  His other stage credits include A Streetcar Named Desire, The Glass Menagerie , and off-Broadway productions of Twelve Angry Men, The Sea Horse, and One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest . 

 "You can't give up," Forster tells young actors.  "If you have a good attitude, always do your best work, and hang in there, you can win in the late innings."  But it does help to have a Quentin Tarantino out there as one of your big fans. 

Filmography: Alligator, Charlies Angels - Full Throttle, D War, Jackie Brown, Mulholland Drive, Psycho (1998), Rise: Blood Hunter, Roads to Riches, The Black Hole, Uncle Sam,
