Tom Hanks as Forrest Gump

Prior to the release of the film Forrest Gump, the main character, Tom Hanks, was already a well-known and famous actor who had received an Academy Award for his work in the film Philadelphia. Only a year later, he won another Oscar for Best Actor for his work in Forrest Gump, in which he played a man with a great heart who was thrown into the chaos that followed World War II in America.
