The character Lt. Dan first appeared in Forrest's life while he did his stint in the US Army during the Vien Nam war. They reconnected while Gump was in New York City after the war and again when Gump was shrimping on the Bayou. Lt. Dan was to become a constant in Gump's life as shown in Lt. Dan's handling of BubbaGump Shrimp money and later at Forrest's and Jenny's wedding. Although Forrest had few friends during his lifetime, the one's he had were very loyal and actually considered themselves lucky to be accepted by Gump. We all need a Gump in our lives. But I don't think the movie ever specified where Dan Taylor was from.
Lt. Dan Taylor was played by Gary Sinise. He was nominated for 1995's Academy Award for 'Best Actor in a Supporting Role' for his performance in "Forrest Gump" but lost to Martin Landau for his role in "Ed Wood". Sinise has since appeared alongside Tom Hanks in "Apollo 13" and "The Green Mile". He is currently starring in the TV Drama "CSI:NY"
lt dan is a guy.
He is very respected, not only as an actor, but as a very good man. He has visited our troops in Iraq often, and has promoted the notion of just doing the right thing, at the right time, for the right reasons. In other words, he's a good man.
No. Hanks starred as Forrest Gump. Gary Sinise played the role of Lt. Dan.
No, he's a fictional character.

Lt. Dan Taylor didn't see the movie Forrest Gump but was a character in the movie. Gump not only saved Lt. Dan's life, but he restored his faith.
Tom Hanks - Forrest Gump Sally Field - Mrs. Gump Robin Wright - Jenny Curran Gary Sinise - Lt. Dan Taylor Mykelti Willimason - Bubba Michael Conner Humphreys - young Forrest Hall R. Hall - young Jenny Haley Joel Osment - Forrest Gump, Jr.
When it was first mentioned Lt. Dan was being sarcastic. He thought Gump had absolultely no chance of owning a shimp boat. But Dan didn't really have a lot of options. He was emotionally destroyed when he lost his legs. He went to the one person he felt comfortable with at that time in his life.
Lt. Dan Taylor was Forrest Gump's CO in the movie. I don't who Captain Dan is.
Lieutenant Dan Taylor was portrayed excellently by Gary Sinise.

According to IMDb, Bubba played only one role. Lt. Dan Taylor played four different soldiers, one for every war.
I don't believe so...i have seen the film Forest Gump and i dont think they have any links other than Gary Sinse and maybe a few other minor ones.
