Mykelti Williamson – Now

Williamson most recently appeared in a movie picture as Sergeant Hayes in the drama The 24th. In addition, he appeared in a few episodes of the popular TV show Lethal Weapon, which you might remember. Because his acting career is still going strong and because he enjoys playing tough males and military men, we think he will continue to take roles that are comparable to those he has previously played.

Many of his characters, even those in which he does not portray military members, have the same vibe that Bubba Blue had. This is an ironic aspect of his acting career.

Haley Joel Osment as Forrest Gump Jr.

This famous child actor made his debut in the cult classic film The Sixth Sense, in which he played a role that required him to “see dead people.” Prior to his role as Forrest Gump Jr., he played this role. Surprisingly, the director made her decision to cast him in the role after seeing him in an advertisement for Pizza Hut. This resulted in an unexpected and fascinating turn of events.

Osment was six when this happened. We don’t know which Pizza Hut commercial he featured in, but his casting suggests a lot of people watched it.
