One of those actors who will always be in films.

he is good but the movie cast away was the worst movie i have ever seen, he is one of the best though he should buy back all the tapes and dvd's of cast away an a public service for his fans

Hanks is one of the best actors in the world. Something about him is mesmorizing on the screen. Definitely a 5 star talent.

I really like Tom, but I don't always like the movies he plays in.

This man is a living, breathing, acting legend! I won't call him a God, because I only beleive in one God. He, Hanks, is pure movie gold. I've never in my 27 years seen an actor so fitting for almost every movie ever made! I mean it! You could put him in Anything! He's been in a lot of Oscar nominated or won movies and in a lot of T.V. shows!He can do any part! He Rules!

simply a good actor,its just his choices i don't agree with.

I think he is a great actor but I was very sad to learn that he is a co-producer of the tasteless show Big Love. I am not watching any of his movies new or old until this show is canceled. Often women and chldren are the victims of polygamous relationships.

Tom is a good actor but is fare from competing with the Holywood greats like Pacino, Deniro and Brando. He may be a bit over rated but is a fine actor so no one will mind:)

Very versatile. Takes on many persona.

He's very good, but I think he's a bit overrated. Pretty much always plays the same character.

This guy has had quite an impressive career. He really hasn't made many bad movies.

Hanks never does a bad movie, or at least never makes his part a sorry one.

I never thought he was anything more than good in any of his roles.

This guy is unbelievable. He is so versatile and really make it work. I loved Big and The Money Pit. He was great in A league of Their Own. I love all his stuff from his comedies, dramas, action....everything. He has got to be literally one of the best actors of all time!

i have seen no better in my 21 (nearly 22) years. all you have to say is forrest gump. i also liked terminal quite a bit. cast away was sensational. the man just has a way of pulling on your heart strings.

I really think this actor is great. He is very natural and seems like the guy next door Not cocky at all or thinks his crap don't stink LOL. I liked him best in Forrest gump,Cast away and Splash!

Has over time evolved to be one of the best actors around. Very versatile.

Tom Hanks is a sensational actor. No one can deny his talent in Forrest Gump.

Tom Hanks is off the hook!!

Hanks is Mr. Everyman and nobody does it better. Carrielover, Tom Hanks was not in the Whole Nine Yards but Bruce Willis and Mathew Perry were...close enough. PS: I was glad Carrie won the American Idol

Tom Hanked is pretty good but i have seen better! he was good in the whole 9 yards though!

I would think he's a living legend. One of the few honorable actors of Hollywood. I've liked so many of his movies, even from the 80's...Money Pit, Bachelor Party, Big, Nothing In Common... Could have done w/out Turner & Hooch, tho...and can't forget about his TV show from the early 80's, Bosom Buddies (not his best work, but you win some, you lose some.) I think he's a great actor and has a great personality. Very versatile actor...

Best movie was Bachelor Party.

Go Forrest! Liked the Terminal as well. Good work dude.

Ive never woulda guessed the mentally handicapped were so incredible smart. Simplicity is genuis, keep your head up retards. no one can stop you now!

i loved so many of his movies. he has came so far. i loved forrest gump and big and apollo 13 etc..hes a likable lovable actor

I can always count on a Tom Hanks film to be a good one.P.S. Molfan, you're exactly right in saying he makes acting look effortless.

what is he good at, please tell me

Tom Hanks is one of my favorite current actors.So far every role he has played is believable.Some of my favorite roles of his are for Forrest Gump, and Big,tom had the ability to get me to believe he was 12 in Big. He was wonderul as the kind,not to smart Forrest Gump.I also liked him in Sleepless in Seattle.he makes acting look so effortless.

Box office gold! Hanks is good at being both funny and serious and excels in every type of role he tries.

Very good actor. His movies in the 90's (Philadelphia, Forrest Gump, Saving Private Ryan etc) were the best. I feel he lost a little bit and I have the feeling that the movies he picks are just those I'm a great actore, give me another actor performances. Over the top.

not best but i cannot think of a bad film tom hanks has been in , very good actor i cried when he cried in saving private ryan

Sorry but that 'Philadelphia' Oscars speech made me throw up it was so luvvie and nauseous. I'm afraid Hanks is one of those act-orrs that refers to what he does as being a 'craft'. For me he's one of those who gets my bum off the seats. Open message TH: 'Tom, you're just an actor..get with it'.

He can do anything and play virtually any type of role. He is the ultimate actor!!

Simply overrated!

I agree with bibliophile; Tom doesn't challenge himself often enough. Even though the movie wasn't great, he gave an excellent performance in Punchline as a cynical, unlikeable comic but he seems to prefer the sympathetic characters closer to his own personality. Maybe I've just seen too much of him; like John Wayne, Tom Cruise, etc. I'm always aware that this is Tom Hanks the actor.

Most versitle actor of our time, maybe any time.

VERY OVERRATED!!

Sort of plays the same role in every movie. Seems to be trying to inherit the James Stewart mantle as the aw-shucks All-American guy. Not necessarily a bad thing, but not very interesting in terms of drama either. Despite its Oscar status, I could only sit through 10 minutes of Forrest Gump. As to Philadelphia, I don't think Hanks did a bad job, but that picture belonged to Denzel Washington, who is a truly gifted actor, as opposed to a merely ok one. Still, Hanks seems to be making some effort to break out of that stereotypical mold- i.e. Road to Perdition.

TOM HANKS DOESNT DESERVE TWO OSCARS!!

Tom Hanks is a very talented actor. He has played important roles in numerous movies. He inspires kids and adults. I'm sure that many kids liked him in Toy Story.

Definitely overrated!

Brilliant actor with great range. Has done a wide variety of work that really is impressive.Saving Private Ryan, Philadelphia, Cast Away, Forrest Gump, The Road to Perdition, The Terminal....all great roles that a talented actor can excel in. He's done just that. One of the best around.

U.S. conscience. But only it is.It is a heavy burden now at Hanks.

Very dynamic and talented actor, and a really funny guy in person. He's also excellent in other areas of movie-making, which is rare in Hollywood. I love almost every single one of his films, and I'm looking forward to his future projects.

Not that enjoyable

Tom is the greatest actor of our time.

Stanks, one good movie.

He is a phenomenal actor who has a really broad range! He is good at both comedy and Drama! He definitely deserved the two oscars that he won! Whenever I'm down I always watch one of his comedies either Big, Turner and Hooch, A League of Their own, Sleepless in Seattle or You've Got Mail! I'll laugh and laugh and feel much better afterward! He was also great in Philadelphia, Forrest Gump, Saving Private Ryan and Apollo 13!
