According to the "Forrest Gump" trivia page on IMDb (The Internet Movie Database), Bill Murray had been considered for the part of Forrest Gump and both John Travolta and Chevy Chase turned down the part. Tom Hanks went on to win the 1995 'Best Actor' Academy Award Oscar for his performance.
No, Jake Gyllenhaal is not in Forrest Gump. The lead role of Forrest Gump is played by Tom Hanks, not Jake Gyllenhaal. Jake Gyllenhaal is a talented actor known for his roles in movies such as Brokeback Mountain, Nightcrawler, and Donnie Darko, but he did not appear in Forrest Gump.
He was trying to segregate the University of Alabama.
I have read it was $100,000 for the role of the child Forrest Gump but cannot confirm.
