A great actor. He is very funny and he's also very good at playing serious roles like in Philadelphia. I enjoyed seeing him in Big, Splash, and Bachelor Party. He even guest starred in an episode of Tales from the Crypt. I give Hanks a 5 star rating.

5 stars

One of the greatest actors of all time. Really liked his performances in
Cast Away, Big, Forrest Gump. Amazed with his performance as an Aids patient
in Philadelphia.

The greatest actor of the modern era.

Above average, but only just. Has some fine performances in his resume, but far more than his share of dogs. At times, the guy shows less judgement in script selection than Robert De Niro (who, if comparing best effort to best effort, is at least four times the actor this guy is)

In far too many movies, he's just a variant on the same familiar character. And don't get me started on that revolting hackwork Forrest Gump....

Exceptionally multidimensional and often brilliant. He will be remembered as one of this era's finest actors.

I have been a big fan of Tom Hanks ever since i saw "Turner and Hooch" in the cinema, as a teen. He has a presence on screen that is hard to define. Also, he is both personable on and off screen, which is a rare quality these days. Don't stop making movies, Tom!

Easily my favorite current actor. He's got such great talent, seems like he can play any role effortlessly. I've never been disappointed by any movie I saw Tom Hanks in (and I've seen lots of his movies), and I doubt I ever will. And you can tell by the way he handles himself that Tom Hanks is one real class act. There should be more actors like him.

Yea, I do know those movies like cast away, and many more. Good actor.

Tom Hanks. You just have to love him. I don't think of Tom Hanks when I think of Forrest Gump. I think of Forrest Gump. Hanks did such an unbelievable job of transforming into that character, he became two different people to me. He is versatile. He has such a unique look and voice. I enjoy anything with him in it simply because its him.

Very credible, but I don't count him among my favorites.

he's a class actor especially him in "big" very funny

Really enjoy his films; favourites include Castaway, Saving Private Ryan, and Forest Gump. He's one of those actor's who can easily switch between serious roles and comedy without effort.

good actor in the right roles

He is amazing. Definately one of my favorites.

He has surpassed everyone's expectations if you look back at his early comedies. Two decades ago I thought Tom Hanks, Michael Keaton and Bill Murray were interchangeable stars making the same types of movies. I would have assumed that Michael Keaton would be the one with the staying power, Bill Murray would have a short lucrative run blockbuster screw-ball comedies and Tom Hanks would be a foot note, or an answer to question in an 80's trivia game. Goes to show what I know.

Some good roles, but just doesn't do it for me as an actor... right up there with Billy Crystal for actors I wouldn't go to the movies for but would perhaps stop flipping the remote control for a bit if I was suffering a hangover- okay, some good roles in some good movies.. Forrest Gump, Saving Private Ryan.. I can't explain it.. something 'snivelly' about him.

jajajakajajsakkajkjjjajajkajakjjajaj

Fantastic character actor. Best role is Forrest Gump.

duh of course he is good

RUN FOREST RUN!

GUMP

Hello, ICON...he is an amazingly talented actor

How could you not like this one?

Been a while since he came out with anything good,  but he does have GOOD range!  An outstanding actor weather it be drama/comedy/action.

forest gump is the only movie I like with him.

Brilliant - one of the best actors of our time.

i love him green mile castaway

Absolutely one of my faves.Love Tom Hanks, he's a master at acting.

One of the best. Just gotta love Big!

Greath actor! He's good in every movie! He can play an role and he plays it well.

He can play any role

good actor...not hot...lol

From Bosom Buddies to an Oscar?

This guy has done some of the greatest films i've seen

Well i had really disliked him until about a week ago, i finally watched Forrest Gump and there is no way i can give him a 1 after that.

Another one that started in TV and went on to do great things. Not a day goes by almost that some quote from Forrest Gump doesn't pop up...and he was phenomenal in Philadelphia. And that is just the beginning.

How can you not love this guy.  He is so "wholesome" that you can't help but cheer for him.  He has had some great roles that, by his hand, turned to amazing characters.

This is my top 5 favorite actors. He is only one of a kind. He's brilliant at his work. Inluding his comedy and his acting of course.

All-around great guy!

One of the best actors of the generation. His roles in The Green Mile and Forrest Gump are awe inspiring and prove just how good of an actor Tom Hanks is.

A ltitle too plain, goody-goody looking, but a very good actor.  I can't believe his bio doesn't mention Splash and Bonfire of the Vanities.

For the most part a very good and versatile actor, as witnessed by his gritty performance in Road to Perdition and his very effective performance in Saving Private Ryan. My favorite, however, is his excellent and unforgettable performance in Philadelphia; see my review of it here. On the other hand, he's been in his share of yawners. Remember Joe and the Volcano? Yeah, I know, very forgettable. Chalk it up to bad script selection.

No disputing how amazing he is, after all we all get to where we deserve to be and look at where he is and he still is down to earth. He is such a talented actor and at first I was drawn to his films for what I thought was good work behind the scenes (script writting etc.) and I certainly did not find Mr Hanks attractive. But now, phew, he knocks my socks off - It is so obvious that Tom is at the heart of everything good about a script. He has this look in his eye that has captured my heart and taken me on a journey through his films.

Most of the time I can get into his character but often he is off-putting. He does not deserved the top rating.

One of the few actors who can star in a comedy, war, action, or romance movie and do it well.

He doesn't have the best looks, but the man's definitely got talent with all those great movies he's done.

i cant tell how good an actor he is as all the films I've seen him in are either sentimental sh*te (Sleepless in Seattle), US WW2 propadandist lies/sh*te (Saving Private Ryan), adaptation of an overhyped crap book sh*te (Da Vinci Code), retard sh*te (Forrest Gump), kid sh*te (Big) oh-not-another-movie-with-fecking-Meg Ryan sh*te (Youve got mail)

Tom Hanks is one of the best actors of all time!
