Frederic Fenimore Forrest, Jr. (born December 23, 1936) is an Academy Award nominated American actor. Forrest was born in Waxahachie, Texas to Virginia Allie McSpadden and Frederic Fenimore Forrest.

He is probably best known for his roles as Chef in "Apocalypse Now", "It Lives Again", "Falling Down", "Right to Kill" (1985 TV movie) and for playing the writer Dashiell Hammett twice in film—in "Hammett" (1982) and in "Citizen Cohn" (1992 TV movie). He had a role as the renegade half breed, Blue Duck in the 1989 miniseries, "Lonesome Dove". He was Oscar-nominated in the Supporting Actor category for his role in "The Rose".

His other notable film roles include "The Conversation", "Promise Him Anything" (TV), "One from the Heart", "The Stone Boy", and horror maestro Dario Argento's first American film "Trauma", along with the director's daughter Asia Argento.

On television, he played Captain Richard Jenko on the first season of the Fox Television series 21 Jump Street, in 1987. Forrest was subsequently replaced by actor Steven Williams, who played Captain Adam Fuller for the remainder of the series.

He was married to actress Marilu Henner from 1980 to 1982.
