He went on to add: "One less square shooter. One less good man. One less wonderful father. One less marvellous actor. I remember all the breakfasts we had at silver spoons. All the stories. All the kind words. All the support."
Casting the late actor in his 1997 film Jackie Brown, he said that it was "one of the best choices" he has ever made in his life.
In 1998, Forster was nominated for the Academy Award for the supporting role in the same film.
