Compton is known for portraying attorney Mike Karr, the central character on the long-running soap opera "The Edge of Night," on which he appeared from 1970–1984, and

Stern but fair battalion commander Lieutenant Colonel Edward Gray on the 1960s sitcom "Gomer Pyle, USMC."

He had a recurring role in 1959–1960 in the NBC series "The Troubleshooters" with Keenan Wynn, Bob Mathias, and Chet Allen.

His other television credits include "The Twilight Zone," "77 Sunset Strip," "My Three Sons," "Mayberry RFD," "Mannix," "Hogan's Heroes," "That Girl," "Another World," "Loving," "One Life to Live," "As the World Turns" and "Ed."

Forrest invariably appears as sharp, neat, authoritative, professional and very likable.
