Most recently, he narrowly missed out on an Oscar nomination for his heralded "Captain Phillips" performance. Paramount; John Phillips—UK Press/Getty Images  Robin Wright had an abundance of less recognizable roles in the years following "Forrest Gump," but is best known to many these days as Claire Underwood, the savvy politician's wife in Netflix's "House of Cards." Paramount; Jason LaVeris—FilmMagic/Getty Images  Sally Field has spent much of her post-"Gump" time on the small screen, first with "E.R." and later with "Brothers & Sisters." She earned an Oscar nomination for her role as Mary Todd Lincoln in "Lincoln" (2012). Paramount; Stefanie Keenan—WireImage/Getty Images  Mykelti Williamson — one of the most memorable "Forrest Gump" characters despite limited screen time — earned consistent work on both film and television after the movie's release. His most recognizable role of late has been as Kentucky crime lord Ellstin Limehouse on FX's "Jusfified." Paramount; Mark Sullivan—Getty Images  Gary Sinese earned an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor for his role in "Forrest Gump" and teamed again with Hanks in 1995's "Apollo 13." Most recently, he concluded his run as Mac Taylor in "CSI:NY." Paramount; Paul Morigi—Getty Images  Haley Joel Osment made his big-screen debut in "Forrest Gump" as Hanks' son. His best-known role came five years later in "The Sixth Sense," but recently has focused more on television projects, including "Alpha House" and "The Spoils of Babylon."
