Despite his age, Shroyer always manages to bring a joyous presence to the films in which he appears, filling them with enthusiasm, so we can’t say we’re surprised that he has no plans to scale down his career.

Hanna R. Hall as Young Jenny

For the film “Forrest Gump,” Hanna R. Hall had to portray a younger version of herself as Jenny, while another actor had to portray a younger version of Forrest. She made her first appearance in the film, just like Humphreys did. In contrast to Humphreys, who took a hiatus from acting for a number of years, Hall has been seen in movies such as Goldilocks and the Three Bears and the 1999 drama The Virgin Suicides.
