Michael Forest Interview - Part 2

My discussion with Michael continues, this time with our focus being on the tremendous amount of work he has done during his career. It might surprise you to learn that his appearance on Star Trek was only a small portion of it. As Michael told me the other day, Star Trek gave him his fifteen minutes of fame... which has lasted more than forty years.

He is 91 now. My Mom is 91 and still alive also. Man I hope he feels no pain and does well. God speed

[@dlfleming3]

He did an exceptional job as Apollo, in both episodes.

[@gkprivate433]

He is a gem. I only just saw the Star Trek Continues. My god the man deserves an award. The acting seemed so real. He is externalizing perhaps some of the things we start feeling as we age. I am 63 and saw the original episode when it first aired. I also am of Greek heritage. Be well sir

[@BrianRidgway-u5g]

Really enjoyable. Mr. Forrest is a national treasure, whether he believes it or not. Thank you for sharing!

[@TheProjectWorkBench]

He was so fun to interview. Just endless great stories and interesting perspectives.

[@joec.3854]

Very good interview. Had not seen him in many years. Good to capture this first person history......

[@robertperry6317]

Thanks, that was very cool to watch. I remember seeing him act in shows like The Outer Limits.

[@iolani77]

Very interesting interview. Evidently, a highly cultured, considerate and amiable person.
Many thanks.

I really enjoy listening to Michael in this interview. Great he reprised his Apollo role in Star Trek Continues. Thank you for this interview.

[@Jamminmotorking]

He's in great shape. Acting keeps his mind going.

[@TheProjectWorkBench]

Thanks Joe. Couldn't agree more. Michael has so many great stories to tell, and he does so with such style and grace. I still have 2 more parts to the interview to release, so please stay tuned :D

Busy man, Apollo was naught but a blink, thankfully he blinked twice. What a professional!

[@philipwegman972]

Thank you sir.... one of the top 5 TOS episodes. You made it so.

[@deriter64]

I saw Who Mourns For ,,, on the first go round many years ago and enjoyed it, still do now and then. Must admit that I was a young man and spent more time looking at Leslie Parrish but this conversation with a journeyman actor of wide experience that I remember well is really interesting, Thanks.

[@springboard1994]

That's okay. I did enough looking at Michael for the both of us. He was gorgeous in that. His acting was good, not great, but he was riveting and had a quality that made up for everything he may have lacked. Talented guy, great interview! ❤️

[@ACLTony]

I remember watching the animated series "Teknoman", years back, and was amazed to learn that he did the voice of Commander Jamison. Did a really good job!

[@maximilliancunningham6091]

Thank you for this,,

[@edwardbrady7599]

87 years old? HE LOOKS LIKE HES IN HIS LATE 60S!!!!!!!!!

[@groupflix]

I think Edward is correct. Late 60's. He was a hunk of a man as Apollo in Who Mourns for Adonis.

[@KennethFord-y7c]

He was great as Cowboys on Gunsmoke !

[@bettyleeist]

[@TheProjectWorkBench]

Hard to believe, but this interview was shot about ten years ago. TIME FLIES!

[@bettyleeist]

[@InformantNet]

Why does this look like the interviewer and Mr. Forest weren't in the same room or even speaking to each other?

[@kabkab8441]

A real artist!!!

[@TheProjectWorkBench]

I'm not sure! I did not cover that in the interview, but I'll ask and see if I can get some insight.

[@KennethDonnellyStargazer21]

Wasn't he also on an outlet limit's or twilight zone?

[@TheProjectWorkBench]

@@KennethDonnellyStargazer21 Most likely yes. He was a VERY busy actor for decades.

[@dragonknightleader1]

What did he think of his work in Moribito?

[@Rick.Fleischer]

What happened to your giant adam's apple?

[@TheProjectWorkBench]

Are you talking about Michael or me? Thats a super weird question but you do you bro.

[@LKH321]

Perhaps tomorrow nite at dinner you can ask...;)
