 "Quentin Tarantino, Bryan Cranston, Aaron Paul pay tribute to Jackie Brown, Breaking Bad actor Robert Forster")
Filmmaker Quentin Tarantino, Bryan Cranston, Aaron Paul, mourned the demise of Robert Forster who passed away on Friday at the age of 78. The Oscar-nominated actor breathed his last in Los Angeles after battling brain cancer, the same day one of his last outings El Camino was released on streaming service Netflix. He is seen reprising his role as Ed Galbraith. [caption id=“attachment_7491921” align=“alignnone” width=“825”] Robert Forster.

One less wonderful father. One less marvelous actor. I remember all the breakfasts we had at silver spoons. All the stories. All the kind words. All the support,” he added. Tarantino even called casting the late actor in his 1997 film Jackie Brown as “one of the best choices” he ever made in his life. In 1998, Forster was nominated for the Academy Award for the supporting role in the same film. Aaron, who plays Jesse Pinkman in the new Breaking Bad spinoff, honoured his late co-actor and “a true gentleman” on Saturday.
Many of his colleagues from the entertainment industry also paid their tributes to the actor, who has starred in films like Mulholland Drive and Medium Cool. Forster had completed two other projects this year - filmmaker Steven Spielberg’s Amazing Stories, an upcoming web series and Werewolf. Here are the tweets.
I’m saddened today by the news that Robert Forster has passed away. A lovely man and a consummate actor. I met him on the movie Alligator (pic) 40 years ago, and then again on BB. I never forgot how kind and generous he was to a young kid just starting out in Hollywood. RIP Bob. pic.twitter.com/HtunD0Fx6g

So saddened to hear of the passing of Robert Forster. I had the immense privilege of working with him twice and, even more so, of being his friend. He stood for what is best in our industry; Grace, Class, Respect for his fellow artists. He will always be an inspiration. RIP https://t.co/e37tiSSKA6
