John Forsythe Fast Facts:

"I try to be realistic about my talents," he told TV GUIDE in 2001. "I know I'm not a great actor. I am a good journeyman actor and I always do my best, but I'm not jealous of Henry Fonda or George C. Scott or Brando because they have 'touched by the hand of God' talent and I don't."
