Sonny Shroyer as Bear Bryant
Bear Bryant, the college football coach, played a crucial role in securing Forrest a scholarship at the University of Alabama to join their legendary football team. Portrayed by Sonny Shroyer in the film, Bear Bryant stands out as one of the few characters based on a real person but not played by themselves. Another notable exception is Elvis Presley, who, due to obvious reasons, couldn’t portray himself.
