Forbes was suddenly fired from his job on One Life to Live in May of 2008 when his character, Nash, was killed off. The actor says he's "so utterly baffled" by the turn of events.
In order to play "Jesse" on the series Mutant X, Forbes and his castmates were enrolled in a "boot camp" for three weeks. The "camp" included training in wire work, gymnastics, and martial arts.
Forbes: (on his favorite blooper moment on television) I was doing this love scene on a soap opera and we're supposed to be rolling around a lot in bed, and by accident I flipped her off the bed and into a wall. It was a sound stage wall and it fell over! We're in our underwear, in this bed with no more sheets and the crew was just dying.
Forbes: (on why he left modeling) I was in four countries a week. It sounds amazing, and it was amazing - for a month or two. Then one night I woke up in a complete panic in a Swiss hotel. I was drenched in sweat. I had no idea what month it was, what day it was, what country I was in, what city I was in or why I was there.
