John Travolta – ‘Forrest Gump’
The role of Forest Gump was initially offered to John Travolta who was committed to appear in Pulp Fiction. The role ended up in Tom Hanks’ lap and Forrest Gump is ranked right up there among the most powerful performances of all time. It was not a waste, though, since Travolta’s career experienced a massive resurgence with the Quentin Tarantino film Pulp Fiction. This eventually became one of the classic films of all time, enjoying its own cult following. Tom Hanks, meanwhile, won an Oscar for Best Actor award, his second in his career, following his first in the previous year’s awards ceremonies.
