Tom Hanks	Forrest Gump	A fundamental interpretation in the career of the great American actor.
Robin Wright Penn	Jenny Curran	The love of a lifetime for Forrest, Jenny is a character opposed to that of the protagonist, a symbol of that part of America that is never satisfied and it's always looking for something more, regularly frustrated, inevitably destined for unhappiness. Jenny also represents, however, an inexhaustible thrust behind the success of Forrest..

Michael Conner Humphreys	Forrest Gump as a child	Perhaps he looks not so much to Tom Hanks, but is perfect for the part of a very special kid.
Hanna Hall	Jenny Curran as a child	Very effective in making the nuances of melancholy of the little Jenny, the baby actress then began a career as an actress with several film and television productions, including participation in the Sofia Coppola film "The Virgin Suicides.
