Dave Chappelle's career seemingly started off with a strong start but his decision to not star in 1994's Forrest Gump may have been the moment that the course of his career would change.

I didn't look at the video but I doubt he was offered the role.

Supposedly, he was offered the role of Bubba. I could see him doing that role although Williamson was great.
