He had cameo roles in Spies Like Us, Amazon Women on the Moon, and the movie version of S.W.A.T..
Forrest's television credits include the title role of the British crime drama The Baron, The DuPont Show with June Allyson, S.W.A.T., Hollywood Wives, Rod Serling's hour-long Twilight Zone episode "The Parallel" (as well as Serling's Night Gallery segment "The Waiting Room"), Gunsmoke, and Dallas, in which he played an impostor pretending to be Jock Ewing.
