Character actor Robert Forster pleased many with his understated performances.
Robert Forster never had the sort of magnetism that made him an undeniable movie star, but he carried himself with an unsure swagger that made him one of the best character actors in the business. A soft-spoken actor who could turn on a dime and bark orders with the best of them, Forster often played police officers or military men. But he imbued even stock archetypes like those with humanity, a vulnerability that may have kept him from super-stardom, but endeared him to legions of fans.
Often relegated to B-movies, Forster was able to elevate scripts that were marginally good, at best. In, the disaster film from 1978, Forster shared the screen with Rock Hudson and Mia Farrow as an environmental photographer. He was the harbinger of doom, knowing that snow would bury Hudson's ski resort, but unsure of when it would come.The mutant monster movie,, was written by future Academy Award winner John Sayles.
His plan to defeat the giant gator roaming through the Chicago sewers is both desperate and ingenious, but if anyone could pull it off, it would be Robert Forster., an interesting cash-in on thecraze of the late 1970s. Forster's portrayal of Captain Dan Holland may have been overshadowed by the special effects, including robots voiced by Roddy McDowall and Slim Pickens, but his no-nonsense portrayal kept the film centered when it veered too far into symbolism and existential crises.
