Michael Conner Humphreys, Child Forrest Gump, Leaving Army
The child Forrest Gump, Michael Conner Humphreys, has announced that he is leaving the army.
Humphreys’ enlistment ends June 4 and Hollywood is already calling. Michael has already landed a role in an independent film, playing, of course, a soldier.
“I guess I’m following in his tracks,” Humphreys said.
The film is called “Pathfinders,” the story of the men of the 504th Parachute Regiment who jumped into Normandy early on D-Day to disrupt German activities and find the way for the coming invasion force. He heads to Oregon later this year for filming, playing the part of Eddie Livingston, one of the original pathfinders.
“It’s a small start. I’m still going to go to school at the University of North Alabama, but if (acting) snowballs and it goes somewhere else, that’d be fine,” he said.
