J. W. Booth Rider Productions Presents             MICHAEL & MICHAEL & FORREST       TELL-APART All three of these men were big and tall, but Michael Dante was blockier & burlier. Forrest Tucker supposedly reached his magnitude in another way.   Michael Forest stacked up a remarkably tall tv westerns resumé. He was solid & substantial in the Gunsmoke episodes "The Cousin" and "Innocence," but it was in a scene with Katharine Ross in "The Lady" that Forest and his bare broad beefcake chest both delivered an especially good performance. Michael Dante loomed large like lumber in a high number of episodes in Wm Orr's Warner Bros cowboy series, during the first half of his career. As likable or despicable as he was in these shows, it was in an episode of the space western Star Trek where he made the most memorable appearance of his acting career. Watch "Friday's Child" to see Dante bounding around a planet like a big red cardinal bird the size of King Kong. Despite not being of the same generation or a lookalike, Forrest Tucker is definitely a name-alike of Michael Forest's, and can be a source of confusion because he rode in even more westerns than Forest. Born ten years earlier, Forrest Tucker is remembered fondly by many of us for his supporting roles in countless Republic cowboy movies. Besides starring in television's F Troop, he guest-starred in six Gunsmokes, most notably in the b&w hrs "Double Entry" and "The Storm."
