Gotta agree with mountn man — Hanks has proved himself to be a versatile actor, despite his drift to the Left. He really is one of only a handful artists who compare favorably with Golden Age actors. To me, Hanks matches up with such as Spencer Tracy or Paul Muni.
Yes say what you will, but Hanks has had a tremendous career and variety of roles both in acting and producing. Also “Saving Pvt. Ryan”, “The Polar Express” and even “Bosom Buddies”. Just to name a few others.
He is a good actor, his movies are mostly entertaining to me. And that is all he needs to be recognized for, he is an entertainer, same as a good clown at a circus. The recent movie, “Hologram for the King” was awful though. I could not get past the first 30 minutes.
