I just heard Streets of Philadelphia on radio, which made me think of movies where Tom Hanks is in a leading role. I could not think of one I’ve seen where he was not convincing in the role.

I think he is one of the very best actors we’ve seen. Disagree?

    I’d say he’s one of the top 20% of all time. Basically the only things I’d fault him for was being in mazes and monsters, a shitty d&d scare flick. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mazes_and_Monsters

    Other than that, and it’s been a hell of a career with many, many highs - my favs prob being Castaway and The Green Mile… I don’t fault him for it, it was a bizarre trend of bullshit and he didn’t carry it forward.
