Oct. 12 (UPI) — “Banyon” actor Robert Forster — who can be seen in this weekend’s release “El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie” — has died at age 78, his publicist said.
Variety reported the “Twin Peaks,” “Jackie Brown” and “The Descendants” star died Friday in Los Angeles after a battle with brain cancer.
“He was brave, he was funny, he was beautiful. And now he’s free,” Forster’s daughter, Kate, said in a statement to NBC News. “He passed peacefully, surrounded by love. We will miss him.”
The Rochester, N.Y., native appeared in about 100 screen projects, including the “Olympus Has Fallen” franchise; films “What They Had,” “Mulholland Drive,” “American Perfekt” and “Medium Cool”; and TV shows “Alcatraz,” “Huff,” “The Grid” and “Karen Sisco.”
Forster also played Bud Baxter — father of Tim Allen’s Mike — on the sitcom, “Last Man Standing.”
