RIP Robert Forster – A Tribute

Last Updated on July 30, 2021

Last Friday was a bittersweet day for “Breaking Bad” fans. On the one hand, it marked the release of EL CAMINO, the long-awaited “Breaking Bad” movie, but on the other, it also marked the death of one of its stars, Robert Forster, who memorably played Ed “the Disappearer” in the second-to-last episode of the series. Indeed, many of us found out that he died while watching the film.

Twitter was quickly filled with numerous tributes to the venerable character actor, who had a fifty-year career, and was nominated for an Oscar for his comeback part as Max Cherry in JACKIE BROWN. Here’s our tribute to the man, including a look at some of his most popular roles.
