Personal Quote:

My wife and I were listening to the radio, and when someone said 'hi-fi' the word 'sci-fi' suddenly hit me. If my interest had been soap operas, I guess it would have been 'cry-fi,' or James Bond, 'spy-fi.' See more »

Trivia:

Wife Wendayne suffered a terrible head injury as a result of a 'smash and grab' in Naples, Italy, while she and Forrest were sitting in their car. See more »
