    Can we even call what he does as acting?? He becomes the character in the movie and it feels so real you believe whatever he is whatever he does, he made us cry because he lost a ball, the greatest actor of all times

    One reason why Tom Hanks is so successfull and popular: He is completly devoid of any cynicism. That is rare, especially in that business.

      It's not so much being devoid of cynicism, like he was color blind to it. More like he's put in great effort and intelligence to not let cynicism bring him down. Same way you can't truly be brave without knowing fear.

    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.

  • @tonymarsh4748
    @tonymarsh4748 10 лет назад

    I liked Mr. Hanks when he first started making movies then I got a bit bored with him then around Philadelphia I realized that he was willing to transform but I still wasn't completely sold on his film choices. Recently, I really enjoy him again with Cloud Atlas and Captain Phillips. He's very, very smart and wildly talented and willing to go out on that limb that is snapping.

    Mathew mac'conaughey said like him, he study the text in the beginning, read and read and read and After he learn, it's a good process to learn better and faster and to understand the character, in fact it's the most important part to become a great actor maybe, understand the text and the character instead just learning.

      @LeoMartinDJ 10 лет назад +4

      It's not all about Oscars, it's about who you think from their performances and films has done well. And I grant you, yes Tom has more than both of them combined but I still think that Will and Liam are both great actors hence why Liam (more than Will) and Tom are chosen to play in films again and again.

    • @MrPeteybelljr
      @MrPeteybelljr 10 лет назад +6

      ***** I think that has less to do with their acting ability and more to do with there box office pull. Not saying they are bad actors, but I couldn't compare them to the likes of Paul Newman, Robert De Niro, Jack Nicholson etc and even more modern actors like Christian Bale and Edward Norton.
