    His acting has come so far from his first rolls. I remember watching him in the TV sitcom Bussom Buddies. Then the movie Bachelor Party. How his talent has changed and been refined and sharpened to a razors edge that cuts to your soul and makes you feel the pain of life. Such as Saving Private Ryan and The Road to Perdition. So few actors in today's Hollywood can make an audience laugh, cry, feel remorse and anger. Take you through and emotional rollercoaster in just a few hours. I look forward to more of Tom Hanks movies.

    I was born 73, but since I watch tv... I saw him in bossom buddies... and then it starts: but in over my 45 yrs of life, I have grown to love him more and more... He shows true patriotism. He loves his America, college degree in history and a BIG SUPPORTER of our Miliatry. He loves his family, true to GOD. One of the very few actors that I have heard that YOU DON'T HEAR drama... He represents as a true american, not being military. He shows his love for the movies, can say he has acted in all types, , but outside of the movie, and great citizen. A regular human being, GOD , Family, America... HOW CAN ANY1 SAY anything negative about him. This is what Hollywood should act like. Now, everyone makes mistakes, but they don't advertise it. Well done TOm Hanks, and ty for one of the few who show other countries America is and can be awesome ~ *My favorite all-time actor *

    Holy crap, Babe Heffron and Bill Guarnere greeting him at the stage! How often does one get two heroes of the Battle of the Bulge applauding you and greeting you on stage to show their respect?

    This man is a true actor. No one can replace him. Tom Hanks is the best. He makes acting look so easy.

    Even his earliest work I saw greatness. He's great actor, but even greater human being.

    Tom Hanks reminds me why I love him so much! As an actor and from what we can tell, as a person! Hands down my favorite actor. And he didn't even cry when he was accepting the award! :) I was waiting for it! :D
