Tom Hank’s the man. Great interview
*Hey acting peeps!!! Should come check out my comedy some time! Love you
guys!*
One reason why Tom Hanks is so successfull and popular: He is completly
devoid of any cynicism. That is rare, especially in that business.
This man makes me so overwhelmed! I’ve seen Turner and Hooch, Big, Forrest
Gump, The Money Pit, Castaway, All the toy story movies, Saving Mr. Banks,
Captain Rogers, Mermaid, etc…
All the genres he does so well and with such passion is what makes him my
favorite actor ever! Plus, regardless of his talent, he just seems like a
genuinely smart and nice guy. Unlike most celebrities who show their dark
sides through interviews. 
nice interview.
Tom Hanks looks like a gay German guy who’s into scat shit eating
contests. He’s the most disgusting face I’ve ever seen as an actor. He
also wears a toupee if anyone ever wondered.
what he said at 5:40 is what im going through right now. im 20 years old
and im honestly dissatisfied with my current situation. and honestly im
starting to feel old. anyone else ever feel similar?
The MATT DAMON interview from ABC News (Australia) brought me here.
Cheers, mate.
please help me become an actor, in order to live my dream and to help my
family in leyte, philippines. http://www.gofundme.com/acting4support Thank
you all!!
Up and coming actor & model, please show my page some love !! 
This video is great.
It’s such an inspiration to hear the story of Tom Hanks.
How he did it, the struggle and the decision that he made.
To hear this from him, it’s amazing and in inspiring.
It’s really inspiring for young actors like me.
This man is amazing, as an actor and as a person. 
“Examining of who you are, so it can be reflected in your work” Tom Hanks!
This segment completely a awakening for me. ThankYou 
very good
this guy was born to be an actor. I haven’t seen anyone with that kind of
talent. Today, Daniel Day Lewis, Michael Fassbender, and Robin Williams
(may come close) My personal favorite is Woody Harrelson. Very
underrated. Tom Hanks could be considered the greatest and I could not
argue
Hanks is my all time favorite, what a cool guy :)
Certainly among the most versatile and talented thespians around but this
whole business of comparing one actor against another is really asinine
since the successful ones are as a rule so talented and had such fantastic
timing in launching their careers anyway.
man i loved saving private ryan

Tom was fucking brilliant in Captain Phillips. The ending scene is gut
wrenching and at the time I didn’t like to watch it but I was captivated by
Tom’s performance that I found myself watching some of the best acting I’ve
seen.
Interesting, but good advice from the great Tom Hanks! :)
I thought fora second that RWJ uploaded an =3 episode ;[
