WITH A RUN OF ERA-DEFINING
ROLES UNDER HIS
HOLLYWOOD BELT, IT'S FAIR TO
SAY THAT MR TOM HANKS IS
ONE OF TINSELTOWN'S MOST
LOVEABLE ACTORS. IN FACT, IF
YOU WERE TO NAME YOUR TOP
TEN FILMS OF ALL TIME, I
WOULD WAGER A BET THAT AT
LEAST ONE FILM FROM HANKS'
LEGENDARY ARCHIVE WOULD
BE UP THERE IN YOUR TOP
THREE. TRAVERSING BETWEEN
HILARITY AND EMOTIVE DRAMA,
HIS INIMITABLE TALENT HAS
LED HIM TO WIN OVER 60
ROLES IN 33 YEARS, WITH LITTLE
SIGN OF EASING OFF ANYTIME
SOON. FROM A-LIST CELEBRITY
AND TWO-TIME OSCAR
WINNER, TO
CONSERVATIONIST, DOTING
GRANDFATHER AND ALLROUND NICE GUY, IS THERE
ANYTHING THIS MAN CAN'T
PUT HIS HAND TO?
