We can’t imagine anyone but Tom Hanks playing the part of Forrest Gump. It just doesn’t seem right. However Hanks wasn’t the original choice to play the role. I know, right? Many other actors were considered first, such as Chevy Chase, Bill Murray, and John Travolta. All of these actors declined and some are kicking themselves for letting such a role slip through their fingers.
