Iconic pair, Tom Hanks and Robin Wright have teamed up again for the film Here, directed by Robert Zemeckis. This is the first time the two are sharing screen after their classic film Forrest Gump which was released in 1994.

The film is considered an iconic cinematic feature, and even after decades, it continues to be popular. Released in 1994, the story of Forrest Gump was adapted on screen based on a novel of the same name written by Winston Groom.

Since the film’s release, all the major actors in the cast of Forrest Gump have undergone tremendous transformations in their careers and lives. Three decades later, let’s find out where are the cast of Forrest Gump now!

Tom Hanks had the most successful career of all the cast members of Forest Gump.

When their time comes, superheroes go out with a bang. They sacrifice their lives to save the world in a grand gesture of heroism. Take Black Widow and Iron Man for example, they didn’t think twice before sacrificing themselves for the greater good. However, when Titans’ Donna Troy aka Wonder Girl tried to do something similar, it wasn’t quite appreciated by the fans, for all the right reasons, may we add.

Played by Conor Leslie, Wonder Girl was a main character in seasons 2 and 3, after having a guest role in the first. However, things didn’t end too well for her when she collapsed to her death in the finale of season 2. The episode was released toward the end of 2019 but fans still have a hard time making sense of her awful and absolutely unnecessary death.

The first season of the Boston-set Frasier reboot obviously didn’t feature the late John Mahoney as Martin Crane, and David Hyde Pierce famously declined the opportunity to return as Niles, ultimately leaving little connective tissue between the two shows. And we haven’t even mentioned the fact that Frasier’s son Freddie now has an entirely new face.

At least Season Two will bring back Peri Gilpin’s Roz in a “recurring capacity,” and apparently Bulldog and Gill will make an appearance for some reason. After all, who amongst us wouldn’t travel across the country just to visit an ex-co-worker?

In a lot of ways, Frasier 2.0 feels like just another Kelsey Grammer sitcom, of which there have been many. So let’s take a look back at some of the Grammer-led comedies that probably would have done better had he simply changed the main character’s name to “Frasier Crane,...

The Simpsons voice actor Hank Azaria is launching a Bruce Springsteen tribute band.

Dubbed Hank Azaria & The Ez Street Band, the act is set to make its debut on August 1st at the Le Poisson Rouge in New York City. Proceeds from the show will benefit the Four Through Nine Foundation, which is committed to social justice, education and recovery causes. Tickets are now on sale.

A press release promises a “setlist packed with Springsteen classics and deep cuts, delivered with Azaria’s unique flair and the band’s top-notch musicianship.”

“I’ve never worked harder preparing for any role than I did in perfecting a singing vocal impression of Bruce,” Azaria said in a statement. “I can’t think of a better way to spend my time and use my passion for voices than playing these songs for a crowd that loves them and lovingly tribute Bruce, while raising...

When the cast of Marvel Studios’ The Fantastic Four was announced on Valentine’s Day, the announcement coincided with the release of a poster with a style suggesting a 1960s setting for the movie.

That leaves fans questioning how and if the eponymous superhero team will enter the present-day Marvel Cinematic Universe to interact with Avengers members like Spider-Man, Thor, Captain Marvel, and the Hulk.

But a recent theory suggests the Fantastic Four may already have an established relationship with one MCU hero in the form of the original Ant-Man, Michael Douglas’s Hank Pym.

It’s time to look into the potential logistics of that scenario and how the timescales might work out.

In the universe of Barry, where Barry and Sally had begun a new life as Clark and Emily, their very survival was threatened once more. This time, Gene Cousineau was to blame for the issue because of his association with Warner Brothers Production House to make a movie that would depict Barry’s life from Gene’s point of view. Barry would surely receive a demeaning portrayal in this film. Recognizing the implications this could have for his son, Barry quickly decided that he needed to get rid of Gene in order to disrupt the film production. Barry was anxious to shield his image and save his kid from the anguish of knowing his father was a killer. But the question remains: how far would Barry go to shield his son from this truth?

There’s a big difference beyond adaptation and assimilation. One is additive. The other is subtractive. One deals in compromise with two sides adjusting their perspectives to create a mutual path forward. The other declares a status quo and works towards enforcing it through whatever oppressive means are necessary. To not understand the crucial conflict that exists between those terms is therefore very rarely a matter of ignorance. It’s instead the by-product of entitlement. To expect another human being to adapt to your idea of “normalcy” via language, culture, religion, etc. is to automatically embrace the role of aggressor because you never sacrificed your own towards that same goal. You just determined your identity was “normal.” Possessing that kind of power means you can never also be the victim.

This is why the damage done by colonizers will never disappear as long as those same colonizers remain in control...

Benjamin Walker is to play Hank McCoy aka Beast in X-Men: First Class, according to Showbiz 411.

Earlier tonight, it was reported that he had been offered a role in the film, which was speculated either to be Beast or Banshee.

Beast, who has superhuman agility and strength, was played by Kelsey Grammer in X-Men: The Last Stand. The character originally had a human appearance before an experiment progressed his mutation and gave him blue fur, claws and fangs.

Walker is the star of New York's hit musical Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson, which had been planning to transfer to Broadway in the autumn but would now have to wait until he is finished filming on X-Men.

He joins James McAvoy, who is playing the younger version of Patrick Stewart's Professor Charles Xavier.

Other reports have linked Rosamund Pike to playing either Emma Frost or Moira MacTaggert; Michael Fassbender to a...

First Professor X, then Magneto, now Dr. Henry "Hank" McCoy. Matthew Vaughn’s “X Men: First Class” is picking up another cast member. Benjamin Walker, star of the Public Theater’s “Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson,” is the name to remember. He’s going to play Beast, the character played in “X Men 3? by Kelsey Grammer. He’ll be joining the already cast James McAvoy and possibly Michael Fassbender. I can't speak for this Walker guy, but at least it ain't Paul Walker! Hey-o! I trust Vaughn with actors, so if he likes this dude, I'm sure he will do the role justice. As for the film itself: well, I've voiced my displeasure with them going this route before. In fact, you may or may not have read my exact words in an article I wrote right before this one. So, because I am lazy, I will just copy and paste...

The star of "Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson"

The New York Times was the first to mention earlier this week that Benjamin Walker, the star of the theater production "Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson," had been offered a role in X-Men: First Class. Showbiz411 has added onto that, saying that he is in talks to play Henry Philip "Hank" McCoy (Aka Beast) in Matthew Vaughn's X-Men: First Class.

He would be joining James McAvoy, who will play Charles Xavier, and possibly Michael Fassbender, who is in negotiations for the role of Erik Lensherr (Aka Magneto).

The drip-feed of casting info for X-Men: First Class is growing into a stream as each day passes. The latest actor linked to the film is Flags of our Fathers’ Benjamin Walker, who is apparently in line to play the young Hank McCoy, Aka Beast.Showbiz 411 (via Cinematical) reports that while it's not finally sealed, Walker is close to locking in a deal to play McCoy, the scientist who ends up evolving into the blue, furry hero as played by Kelsey Grammer in X-Men: The Last Stand. Walker's more fortunate - if he signs, he won't have to don a heavy suit since the younger Beast is a lot less hairy.He’s got another link with the older actor, since they both trained at New York performing arts school Julliard. Walker has recently been putting his acting chops to good use in the city, appearing in a critically lauded...

Rumors are swirling around who will appear as which mutants in Matthew Vaughn's X-Men: First Class, but today we finally have an official confirmation of a new castmember. According to Roger Friedman's Showbiz 411, Benjamin Walker has joined the First Class cast as Dr. Hank McCoy, better known as the blue, furry Beast.

Walker's involvement has been whispered for a few days, first cropping up by way of The New York Times. If you follow theater at all, you've probably heard of Walker's performance in Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson, and the production's plans to move to Broadway. But that may now be delayed thanks to Walker's evolution into a First Class mutant.

Walker has been kicking around movies for quite a while -- you might remember him in Flags of Our Fathers and Kinsey -- and is a promising young actor who just hasn't made it big yet. He's earned...

In The absence of further casting announcements for X-Men: First Class, the gossip and speculation continues.

According to the New York Times, Benjamin Walker (pictured) - star of the acclaimed musical Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson - has been offered "an enviable role in a coming X-Men project".

This must be a reference to First Class, which is now being cast by director Matthew Vaughn.

So far only James McAvoy has been officially confirmed in the cast; he's playing a younger version of Patrick Stewart's Professor Charles Xavier.

Earlier reports have linked Rosamund Pike to the roles of Emma Frost or Moira MacTaggert; Michael Fassbender to a young Magneto, though he is said to have declined an offer to audition; and Aaron Johnson to an unspecified character, speculated to be Cyclops.

Walker's musical connections could mean he is in line to play Sean Cassidy, the Irish mutant called Banshee with...

Reincarnation crime drama "Past Life" has moved on to the TV afterlife.

Fox canceled the struggling and widely panned show after only three episodes, making "Past Life" the 10th series to get the ax in what's been a relatively bloodless season for broadcasters.

It's been six months since the networks launched their fall lineups, and the five broadcasters have each dumped only about two shows on average.

Fox and ABC have jettisoned the most with three titles each. In addition to "Past Life" -- which was rejected after Thursday night's last-place performance and will be replaced by original episodes of "Kitchen Nightmares" -- Fox canceled comedy "Brothers" and Joss Whedon drama "Dollhouse." ABC shed freshman comedy "Hank," magical drama "Eastwick" and veteran "Ugly Betty."

CBS only lost one show, "Three Rivers," while NBC has canceled only "The Jay Leno Show" and John Wells' "Southland," whose planned second season never...

TV Guide has released their list of shows that are safe for the rest of the season and those that are "on the bubble," the shows that are in danger of being canceled. There are a lot of shows on the latter list that aren't a surprise, such as Hank, Gary Unmarried, Cold Case, and The Forgotten (I'm surprised Cold Case even made it to another season).

But among the list of shows are a few that I didn't think were in danger, including Gossip Girl and Fringe. I know that Gossip Girl isn't a show that gets incredible ratings, but that describes The CW in general, and I figure that even if it gets low ratings it's sort of the network's signature show. As for Fringe, the ratings are a lot worse this season than last season, but it would still surprise me if the show went away, especially...

Mad Men's infamous foot-dicing secretary found another job! Crista Flanagan, who became a permanent part of Mad Men lore on Sunday when her character ran over an ad exec's foot with a lawn tractor, is joining ABC's new Kelsey Grammer sitcom, Hank. The actress, who also spent three years on MADtv, will play the recurring role of Dawn, the wife of David Koechner's Grady and sister-in-law to Grammer's Hank. She replaces Gilmore Girls alum Melissa McCarthy, who dropped out when she landed a supporting role in the Katherine Heigl-Josh Duhamel romantic comedy, Life as We Know It. The fate of Flanagan's Mad alter ego, Lois, was left up in the air in last week's episode, although it's hard to imagine Sterling Cooper keeping her on in the wake of hoof-gate.

ABC is getting a head start on firming up its fall premiere dates.

The network has announced when nearly all of its primetime shows will debut in a few months. ABC wants to get the word out to potential advertisers, and plans to use the dates in summer marketing campaigns to promote the shows.

The roll out has a pretty standard formation, with the network firing most of its big guns during the usual broadcast premiere week that starts Sept. 21.

Once again, ABC will have three nights of "Dancing With the Stars" before reducing the reality show to its usual two-night pattern. The added evening of "Dancing" also helps stagger the debut of the network's Wednesday night comedy block, which will feature “Modern Family” and “Cougar Town” debuting Sept. 23 during premiere week, then 8 p.m.-hour additions “Hank” and “The Middle” completing the block the following week.
