Michael Jace as Black Panther Leader
We previously mentioned the notable scene where Forrest reacts passionately to Wesley’s act of slapping Jenny right in front of him. What makes this moment truly unforgettable is that it occurred during a Black Panther event. Michael Jace portrays the group’s leader, who educates Forrest about the injustices faced by black people during that era and explains the goals and objectives of the Black Panthers. In a rather awkward manner, Forrest extends his apologies to them for unintentionally spoiling the event.
