Playwright David Williamson wrote Flatfoot for Forsythe, in which he played eleven different characters and a parrot. [3]

Together with Jonathan Biggins and Phillip Scott, Forsythe was a creator, writer and performer of Three Men and a Baby Grand which started at the Tilbury Hotel in Woolloomooloo. It went on to tour Australia-wide, at the Edinburgh Festival, and with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra, and was also adapted as a television series for the ABC. The same team went on to create the Wharf Revue for the Sydney Theatre Company. [4]
