Michael Jace – Now
Michael Jace’s story since playing Forrest Gump may be the most sad of any of his subsequent roles. The talented actor performed in a variety of films, including Boogie Nights, Planet of the Apes, and The Replacements, to mention a few. Unfortunately, Jace’s career was cut short when he was arrested and imprisoned in 2014 for being responsible for the death of his wife April, a track and field star.

Robin Wright as Jenny
In the film, Robin Wright played Jenny, Forrest’s love interest, and she had a big impact on his character development throughout the plot. However, the role in the film was neither her first big one, nor did it mark the start of her career. That would be the daytime soap serial Santa Barbara, but her true breakthrough came as the title heroine in the timeless picture The Princess Bride.

There is little question that her success in those roles played a role in the decision to cast her in the character of Jenny in the film Forrest Gump.
