Thanks for stopping by. If you'd like to leave a message, click here. Hello Mike, I just watched the episode of Star Trek in which you starred 44 years ago. It was one of my favorites and still is. You were great in it. The ending was very sad. Sometimes I travel to the LA area from Cincinnati. It really would be great to meet you in person. I will return there in May 2012. Thank you for all your work in films. I wish you the best. As they say in Star Trek...Live Long and Prosper. Regards, John Biehn <jbup3985@aol.com> - Friday, September 9, 2011 6:24 PM (EST) I love Gunsmoke and one of my favorite episodes is where you play Matt Dillion's foster brother "Chance". You let on at first like you did not like him because he always did what was right. Although he passed this year, James Arness was a great actor and so are you. I was glad to find your website. Marian <nairam50@msn.com> - Wednesday, July 27, 2011 6:27 PM (EST) Hello Mr.Forest!! I just saw you in the Twilight Zone episode "Black Leather Jackets" and remember you from other TV shows as well. You are still a very handsome man. I am sure you have lived a very fulfilling life and I hope you have many more roads to travel. God bless! Doris <dorislinda@carolina.rr.com> - Tuesday, July 26, 2011 5:53 PM (EST) Such a handsome man still! Loved watching you again on The Dick Van Dyke Show as Father Joe Coogan. Of course The Leather Jackets Twilight Zone was great too. Thanks for all the great parts that have kept us entertained for years. Torey Winkler <toreywinkler@yahoo.com> - Saturday, July 23, 2011 2:37 PM (EST) Mike, I just want to thank you for all the enjoyment you have brought to my life through the roles you have played throughout your career. I am a 55 yr old man and have had uncredited success in scene writing. Two James Bond scripts; Tomorrow Never Dies opening sequence and Q's final scene in The World Is Not Enough. I wished I had been able to write a scene for you. You are a wonderful actor. With that said, I hope to some day meet you in person and shake your hand, sir. Well done. Very well done! Steve <daltonlancer007@yahoo.com> - Tuesday, July 19, 2011 5:48 PM (EST) Out of all the Star trek episodes, "Who Mourns for Adonais?" is my favorite with you being cast as Apollo. Does not matter how old the show is, it still is a timeless classic. Rick <docpc58@gmail.com> - Thursday, June 23, 2011 10:34 AM (EST) I looked you up after seeing you in a 1961 episode of Cheyenne. After a brief period I remembered why you looked so familiar - recognizing you from the Star Trek episode I had seen you in years ago. I was amazed at the huge number of credits listed on the IMDb website. With 228 titles and still going, you are one hard worker! You were quoted for saying "it certainly hasn't been what you might call a distinguished career...", but I would beg to differ. Your biography paints a picture of a very determined, hard working and honorable career. Your focus on physical fitness, education, hard work, becoming a pilot, your marriage and family shows a man who is to be respected (not all that common in your profession). You have much to be proud of. I wish you a continued long-life and successful career! Brad Bodie <bodiefamily@msn.com> - Thursday, June 2, 2011 8:38 AM (EST) I, the middle of five kids, grew up watching and loving Star Trek. After seeing you as Apollo, I was in love. Every time I watch that episode I remember how much, as a little girl, I thought I would have stayed with Apollo and sent the rest of the crew back to the ship. Hope everything is good in your life. Thanks for the memories. I unfortunately am now turning 50 this year. My three daughters now watch episodes with me. Sincerely, Diana <askforflowers@embarqmail.com> - Friday, April 29, 2011 3:49 PM (EST) I was home sick today and surfing the Internet. I came to the Star Trek episode of yours . It was great watching you in action as Apollo with that cast and crew. Thanks for the warm fuzzy. Taylor Mead <stmead@comcast.net> - Monday, February 21, 2011 at 14:19:56 (EST) Michael, wanted to let you know I saw you on Gunsmoke tonight as Chance. I thought you were awesome and very handsome. It's nice to know you are still with us. I wish you good health for a long time. You also have a great smile! Dolly Wittrock <dollywitt@msn.ocm.net> - Tuesday, November 23, 2010 10:10 PM (EST) Hello Mr. Forest, we met almost 25 years ago at Dixie Trek in Atlanta where I gave you a copy of the Space Trivia book I had written at age 15. Over the years I have always remembered meeting you as a good event growing up. I hope that life is treating you well and that we may again meet one day. Take care, Dr. Richard Parker <commphd@yahoo.com> - Wednesday, July 21, 2010 6:55 PM (EST) Watching the Outer Limits. Great to see the show and a class of real actors like Mr. Forest and Ed Asner on the same screen. Vic <vdicar@hotmail.com> - Friday, April 02, 2010 10:52 PM (EST) I'm getting ready to watch the Twilight Zone with Michael Forest on the syfy channel. This website is great. I met Michael last year and he's very very nice!! Teresa <teeree60@yahoo.com> - Friday, February 05, 2010 11:52 AM (EST) This is a beautiful website for a well deserving talent. Love the pictures. I've seen you, Mike, on stage and on screen and you never falter as a very fine actor. It's always a joy to watch you work. I hope the website can alert us to upcoming appearances so we can enjoy seeing you on TV or stage. Best regards always, Mike. Antoinette - Sunday, January 03, 2010 12:29 PM (EST) Hello Mr. Forest, I just wanted to gush over you a little. When I was a kid in the 60's, I first saw you on Star Trek. Through the years I would see you occassionally on t.v. and think "now there's a good-looking man"! I always enjoyed your work and after watching you tonight on The Outer Limits, well, I think you're great. Continued blessings to you and your family. Long life and health to you and yours. Sandra <sandthompson@yahoo.com> - Saturday, September 26, 2009 12:37 AM (EST) Michael, as both a fitness professional and an actor, I can say with all honesty that your performance in "Who Mourns For Adonais?" inspired me to start my own fitness training -- yet with a fresh outlook on things. Rather than the stereotypical 'dumb jock', you put the mind and the muscle together into art. I thank you. Jon Benson <jon@jvprofitcenter.com> - Friday, May 22, 2009 8:14 PM (EST) Dear Mr. Forest, I have just seen a re-run of the Star Trek episode where you played Apollo. Never has Apollo had such an unusual mixture of power, charisma, dignity, charm and sensitivity. While I am a long-term Star Trek fan, your performance elevated the show way beyond its usual fun but often campy level. Thank you for the wonderful acting job you did in that episode and for all your other work. All best wishes for 2009! Sincerely, Sharon <704895@ican.net> - Tuesday, December 23, 2008 2:27 AM (EST) I've long been a fan of Mr. Forest without even knowing it. He provided the voices of many of the main characters in most of my favorite films, such as Il Grande Racket, Napoli Violenta and Il Cinico I'lnfame il Violento. It didn't occur to me until I was around age 25 that that was the same voice that came from Apollo in my second-favorite Star Trek season 2 episode. Forest was also good in his many roles with Frank Wolff. I'm surprised the two acted together in so many Roger Corman movies and both took the trip to Italy around the same time. Most surreal was actually hearing Wolff talk with Forest's voice in Il Boss (1972). It's a shame about Wolff's death but I'm glad to see Forest still going strong after so many years in the biz. Mike Martinez <aylmer666@juno.com> - Monday, June 02, 2008 8:12 PM (EST) Dear Mr. Forest, I first saw your Star Trek performance as Adonais as a boy growing up in the 60s, and see it again every now and then on late night reruns. I am almost 50 now and this time around I was able to see past the campiness of the show. I found myself respecting the professional job you did. I think by taking the role seriously you elevated the show and made that episode into something millions of people still remember all these years later. I just wanted to thank you. I also wanted to sign your guestbook while I still can. I fear that the signing of guestbooks is a custom that will continue to fade as people start seeing the web as a utility instead of a wonder. I regret that, and make it a point to sign guestbooks whenever I come across one that seems genuine. Thanks again for your good work. John Cartan < john@cartania.com> - Monday, January 14, 2008 2:37 AM (EST) I like the roles you do in Anime including your recent ones in "Eureka Seven". Arthur Denorfia Jr. <Rtkat3@aol.com> - Monday, October 02, 2006 10:25 AM (EST) Dear Mr. Forest, Thanks for all the characters you have shared with us, especially Apollo. Your portrayal made him a very sympathetic individual despite the required aspects which anyone who has read Greek mythology already knows. I think your response to Tom Hanks' character in "Castaway" speaks well for all of us who are in creative professions when you said, "We'll do our best." Best regards, Pat Wozniak <pat@patwozniak.com> - Friday, May 5, 2006 at 17:29:49 (EST) I thought I saw my name once in the credits for a Native American character in an episode of "Gilligan's Island". Sure enough, it was you. I have a framed poster of your movie "Atlas" that friends get a kick out of because it reads, "Behold, The mightiest man who ever lived! Feared by every man, desired by every woman...ATLAS...Starring Michael Forest." Thanks for having the best name on the planet. Mike Forest <projmayhem4est@yahoo.com> - Saturday, April 29, 2006 at 11:38:43 (EDT) Hi Mike: Saw you in Star Trek ("Who Mourns For Adonais"). Loved your acting in that episode. Thanks for giving us TV fans great memories of a great actor indeed. We miss you on TV. Peter <peter.trinidad@christushealth.org> - Sunday, October 9, 2005 at 09:07:37 Hello Mr. Forest. I hope your life is filled with as much excitement as you have given to worldwide fans. Thanks for all the golden memories of your magnificent career. Your Brazilian fan, Haroldo Esteves <est43@globo.com> -Tuesday, August 23, 2005 at 19:33:58 (EST) Hi! I really feel that Michael Forest deserves a star on Hollywoood's Walk of Fame! I have followed his career with interest from the time I was a boy, and I am almost 50 years old! He still looks great, and was a great role model as a bodybuilder to a little boy like I was! Thank you, Mike, for your great screen work. I have seen you in "Atlas," "Mohammad, Messenger of God," "Star Trek: Who Mourns for Adonais," "The Outer Limits: It Crawled Out of the Woodwork". Best wishes, David Boisclair <clearwoodlouis@hotmail.com> - Saturday, March 05, 2005 at 12:08:49 (EST) Dear Michael, I'm glad to find your website. I don't know if you remember me, I met you years ago. You were friends with my dad. He was a stuntman, Fred Carson. I know he doubled you on several shows. He thought the world of you. I hope you are doing well. May God Bless you always. Dixie Carson <dixiecarson@hotmail.com> - Wednesday, January 05, 2005 at 00:55:53 (EST) I enjoyed getting the opportunity to see you at the Stars of the Twilight Zone Convention. I realize that there was not a tremendous turnout and that it was not terribly profitable for many of you actors to be there, but the spirit of the show and the appreciation for all of the fine work that went into it was appreciated. I am particularly fond of your Star Trek role. It could not have been better. Continued success! William T. Moulton <themoultons20103@aol.com> - Wednesday, August 25, 2004 at 11:14:15 (EDT) Michael. Just wanted to say that you are a great actor. I truly enjoyed your performance as Apollo on Star Trek, Humara in 100 Rifles, Ugandi in Gilligan's Island, and as Vance in King Kong Lives. You're definitely the hippest and the coolest. Would love to see you perform Shakespeare on stage at The Kentucky Shakespeare Festival sometime in the near future. Take care and God Bless! Christopher Dalton <Saturn3_6@hotmail.com> - Wednesday, May 12, 2004 at 19:18:30 (EDT) Just watched "Who Mourns For Adonais" and even though I have seen it multiple times, this was the only time I really appreciated your talent. Actually I was touched by your performance. Think I'll try and find some videos of you to rent. My Best, Ross <signedup@shaw.ca> - Wednesday, May 05, 2004 at 02:28:42 (EDT) Michael, thanks for the great website! I will always remember you as Apollo on Star Trek, but also as Humuro in "100 Rifles". I collect Italian-made westerns. Will you, or did you ever direct/produce a movie? Thanks. Chris <cc_union@excite.com> - Saturday, February 21, 2004 at 23:53:43 (EST) Hey Mike, I've really enjoyed your acting. You're great at everything you do, and you make your characters come to life. You're the Marlon Brando of Star Trek. Have a great day buddy! From a fan, Charlie Gwaltney <charlesgwaltney1@juno.com> - Wednesday, February 18, 2004 at 16:15:25 (EST) Hey Michael, this is a great website. Have a great day!!
