Edwin Forrest

Edwin Forrest (March 9, 1806 – December 12, 1872), was a prominent nineteenth-century American Shakespearean actor. His legendary feud with the British actor William Charles Macready helped spark the deadly Astor Place Riot of 1849.
==Early life==
Forrest was born in Philadelphia, the son of William and Rebecca (née Lauman) Forrest. His father, a merchandise peddler, came from Dumfriesshire, Scotland to Trenton, New Jersey in 1791. Later a business set back led him to relocate to Philadelphia where after to his marriage to Rebecca, a daughter of an affluent German-American family, he was able to secure a position with a local branch of the United States Bank.

As boys, Forrest and his brother William joined a local juvenile thespian club and participated in theatrical performances staged in a sparsely decorated woodshed. At the age of eleven he made his first appearance on the legitimate stage at Philadelphia’s South Street Theatre playing the female role Rosalia de Borgia in the John D. Turnbull melodrama, ''Rudolph : or, The robbers of Calabria.'' After Forrest’s father died in 1819 he attempted, in short procession, to apprentice with a printer, a cooper and finally a ship chandler. When attending a lecture early the following year he volunteered to participate in an experiment on the effects of nitrous oxide. While under the influence of the gas Forrest broke into a soliloquy from Shakespeare’s Richard III that so impressed John Swift, an eminent Philadelphia lawyer, he arranged an audition at the Walnut Street Theatre that led to Forrest's formal stage début on November 27, 1820 as Young Norval in John Home’s Douglas.〔〔〔The Twentieth Century Biographical Dictionary of Notable Americans: Volume IV Forrest, Edwin 1904 p. 152-153〕
