Just an idea I've had for a while that could kinda be a fun... game? Not really a game but I dunno. Whatever...

So which character of his first comes to mind when you think of Tom Hanks.

I don't really have a reason that he's first but he's done a bunch of characters and he's a well respected actor so ehhh why not. I would try to do an actual write up but there are plenty of famous actors that I don't know squat about. And I don't wanna pick roles for people or forget roles that they should be known for.


Here's his IMDB:
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000158/

Mine personally would be Forrest Gump from uhhh... Forrest Gump. Love that movie.

I don't know if I'll keep track of the number one answer or anything 'cause there could be a big swath of characters depending on the actor.

And any nominations going forward would be cool. Preferably people with a varied cast of characters like Meryl Streep, Robin Williams, Tom Cruise, Sandra Bullock, and the like

Sully because that was the last movie I watched with him in it.

Agree that Cast Away was a very memorable role.

I think it should be more about which is the most memorable for you. Like the one that you pin on him in your mind.

I got the image of The Terminal Man when I saw his name so that I guess.

The next thing I thought of was his cameo in the Simpsons Movie.

Forrest gump immediately jumped into my mind.

Woody was great, but I didn't think of him probably because he was just the voice actor

The first few that come to mind within the first split second:

Tom Hanks from Tom Hanks: The Movie
The guy from Joe Versus the Volcano
The scientist from Cloud Atlas
Zachary from Cloud Atlas
Michael from Road to Perdition

Tom Hanks has quite a list of movies to his credit.
