Michael Conner Humphreys Career
In 1993, at the age of eight, he attended an open casting call in Memphis, Tennessee for “a young Tom Hanks with light eyes and a quirky disposition.” The casting crew chose Humphreys to play young Forrest Gump in the film adaptation of Winston Groom’s 1986 novel, primarily because of his heavy Southern accent. Tom Hanks studied Humphreys’ speech and mannerisms in order to imitate the character as an adult. He was nominated for the 16th Youth in Film Awards alongside his Forrest Gump co-stars Hanna Hall and Haley Joel Osment, but he was ultimately outperformed in his category by Matthew McCurley from North.
Following high school, Humphreys enlisted in the United States Army in November 2004. He was stationed in Germany and served with the 1st Battalion, 36th Infantry Regiment, a unit of the 1st Armored Division, for an 18-month deployment in Anbar Province, Iraq. After returning to the United States and spending some time at Fort Riley in Kansas, Humphreys finished his duty on June 4, 2008. In 2008, he was attending the University of North Alabama. In 2011, he portrayed the character “Eddie” in the indie World War II film Pathfinders: In the Company of Strangers. Humphreys most recently worked in security for the Vancouver Transportation System. As of 2020, he worked as an online teacher.
