Background

Oscar Forbes is the manager of the Tropical Palace Beach Resort in Honolulu, Hawaii.


During the events of Up from the Depths (1979) played by Kedric Wolfe

Oscar walks up to Ed Bennett and Louellen Bennett and offers them free drinks as compensation for Ed being covered in intestines while swimming. Oscar picks up a phone and demands to speak with Rachel McNamara, but is told she is on water patrol. Oscar finds Rachel and pulls her aside and tells her Earl Sullivan is trying to ruin the hotel and humiliate him. He then tells Rachel to confront Earl and Greg Oliver. Oscar walks up to Holland who is playing chess with himself and asks if he is still winning. He walks around and talks with Tourist 1 having dinner with Rachel. A waitress walks up to Oscar and tells him Harry wants to talk to him. Harry then tells Oscar that he found a human arm on the reef and Oscar tells him to throw it back into the water. He sees Earl and Greg having a meeting with Ed, Louellen and Holland. Oscar walks up to them and tells them Earl and Greg are swindlers and orders Earl and Greg thrown out of the hotel. Oscar is in the kitchen complaining to the cooks about them putting too large of portions in the meals. Rachel walks into the kitchen and tells Oscar, Tourist 1 is dead and he tells her not to worry about calling the police or telling the guests. Ed and Louellen are telling other tourists about Holland's death when Oscar tells them the luau will be ready this evening. He sees Bob Durrell who asks Oscar questions about Sandra Kane, but Oscar walks away when he sees Earl nearby. Earl tells Oscar he has an idea on how to get rid of the Monster Fish by selling tickets to kill it. Greg, Nieberg, Rachel and David Whiting head towards the bay and tell everyone to get out of the water. Oscar goes to shoot the Monster Fish, but David pushes his arm down and he shoots himself in the foot. The guests stampede through the resort and the next day a large group of them leave the resort. Oscar announces to the crowd including Resort Guest that Earl has offered a case of Rum to anyone who catches the Monster Fish, but he offers one thousand dollars and a stay at the suite to whoever catches the Monster Fish. He then celebrates with Harry when Greg manages to kill the Monster Fish.
