Veteran character actor and voice artist Michael Forest has died, leaving a body of work that crossed television, film, and animation. His portrayal of Apollo in Star Trek remains a defining credit, while appearances in films directed or produced by Roger Corman reflect another important strand of his screen career. Those roles offer distinct entry points into the work of an actor whose professional life was built on range rather than a single breakthrough.
Away from the camera, Forest’s contributions were equally substantial. His voice work spanned hundreds of international and anime productions, reaching audiences through a different kind of performance. That extensive catalog belongs at the center of his remembrance, alongside the screen appearances that made his face familiar. Taken together, these credits tell the story of a versatile working performer: someone whose lasting contribution rests not only in one memorable character, but in the breadth of a long career.
