Forest's Story

After My Mom and Dad died I moved to Grand Haven and then Grand Rapids, where I went to a private school, After Graduating I moved to Virgina, to be around my older sister. I got caught up in biblical research and studied that for 7 years. My studies took me to Boston then Kansas were I went to a biblical college until my funds ran out. So I went back to Michigan for a year and had no luck finding a job I liked. So I moved to Texas, Houston. That is really were I got my start in film. The Dream became reality. I found the love for it was still there. I even tried Modeling in one of my pics made to GQ magazine. So while studying the bible at home, I continued pursuing a career in film, and got some extra parts and sold Timeshares on the phone. Then I moved to New Jersey to be with a women I met selling her a Timeshare package. So moved to her house in Jersey. Where I continued to get bit parts. I got to be an extra for Harry Met Sally, which was really cool. I also worked at Great Adventure between acting gigs such as TV Commercials, and Then Moved to Florida. Because I felt it would be easier to get parts there and I was right. For six years I worked at Halloween Horror nights and loved it, even though the job was seasonal. It gave me some good contacts. I did extra parts in movies, Tv shows and Disney and Universal commercials. I had just landed a role for the head security Guard in the movie "Contact" when my car blew up and I lost the part. I also landed a part in the TV series "SeaQuest" just before it was canceled. They got the news on the day I was suppose to do a screen test that the show was canceled. During that time I got married and divorced...Expand for more
. I retired for bit because trying to get a part in Florida without a car is hard to do. I just moved to Mississippi in 2005 when Katrina destroyed the Home I had just started renting. Its has been a long hard struggle, but It was worth it. Now I have a job I like. Working for a Casino driving cars. As the Lead grave yard Valet. But I still have the acting bug and plan on restarting now that my finances are finally straightened out. I got 3 women pregnant, and that is a story for a different time. Ok fine you really want to know? Lets just say their families and my dream of being a Actor made their parents hate me. In one case it was the fact that their daughter, was catholic and I got her pregnant. When I offered to help take of the child, they vehemently refused because I was Protestant. But even out of the darkest night comes forth some night. My daughter is the one I am most proud of. She is 19 and I am so proud of her. her name is Haley. One of my few good accomplishments. I did not meet her till she was 14, but that was because I lost her mothers number and address. Imagine my surprise when I found out. Her mother and I are still friends but decided we were just to different. I also have 3 cats that allow me to live with them in a Apartment on the Beach. I have to say I am at peace with where I am at now. I work on scripts and do stories for websites. Plus I even occasionally take cat pictures of the things I love. I have a deep love for cameras. I still love comics, and Sci-Fi movies. My favorite TV channels are. SyFy, Discovery Channel and the History Channel. I am even co-writing a script with a friend that we hope to sell.
