Tom Hanks is widely regarded as one of the most celebrated actors in the world, with several of his standout performances going back more than three decades to films like Philadelphia and Big. He’s also well known for his iconic role in Forrest Gump, a heartfelt blend of comedy and drama, and for voicing Woody in the long-running Toy Story series. A two-time Oscar winner, Hanks has enjoyed a career spanning decades, and with that longevity comes a mix of hits and projects that resonate differently with audiences.
His reputation as one of the finest actors alive gives him the freedom to take on roles that others might shy away from. He is set to return to one of his more familiar roles this summer, though, when he reunites with Tim Allen to reprise his role as Woody in Toy Story 5.
