After four years' Army service during and after WorldWar II, Forsythe headed to New York to put his acting training to practical use. He spent the next two decades commuting between New York and London, appearing in such stage productions as The Iceman Cometh, The Collection, Miss Lonelyhearts, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf and A Delicate Balance. The actor won a Tony award for his performance in the robust musical The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas, working in both the Broadway and London companies.
