Grant Grunderschmidt

Grant Grunderschmidt is Forrest's (usually) blank-faced and taciturn producer; pushes Forrest to finish assignments he otherwise would not. At the end of Season 2, Forrest becomes convinced that Grant was formerly a girl called Gertrude who wants to kill Forrest, and ends up throwing himself - and Grant - off a bridge, paralyzing Grant from the waist down.
