His career began in New York, where he was among the original members of Lee Strasburg's The Actors Studio. In Hollywood Forsythe lent his voice to the character of Charlie in the 1970s detective show Charlie's Angels, and his association with famed producer Aaron Spelling led to his role in the TV drama Dynasty in the 1980s.
