Michael Forest’s passing marks the end of a wide-ranging career in television, film, and voice performance. His portrayal of the Greek god Apollo in Star Trek remains a defining credit, while appearances in films directed or produced by Roger Corman reflect another important part of his screen work.

Remembering him means looking beyond Apollo to the steady, varied work of a veteran performer. His legacy rests in that remarkable range, encompassing both the characters audiences could see and the voices they came to know.
