My favourite actor - Tom Hanks

There are a lot of famous, talented actors and actress in the world, but my favourite who I like and admire is Tom Hanks. He’s well known all over the world.
He was born in 9th July 1956 in Concord, California. Nowadays he’s one of the greatest and bright Hollywood’s stars. Maybe he isn’t as handsome as Brad Pitt or Leonardo Di Caprio, doesn’t have the body as Arnold Schwarzenegger. He can’t fly on the motorbike as well as Pierce Brosnan, He can’t even use gun as smoothly as Antonio Banderas. But He has got something in his look, that makes you sit on the chair without motion in the cinema when he acts.
Tom Hanks plays in his films the kind of nice guy we roof for, not the kind of guy we want to boo off the big screen. He can play everything: hero, castaway, romantic lead and now a street dull- witted guy in love with his childhood playmate. He has played so many memorable roles that it is hard to nail down one part as his most memorable. We should remember him from the films „Philadelphia”, „Forest Gump”, „Cast Away”, „The Green Mile”, „Saving Private Ryan”, „You’ve Got Mail”, „Apollo 13”, „Sleepless In Seattle”. He’s also lent his voice to the computer animated blockbusters „Toy Story” and „Toy story 2”.
He won his first Oscar in 1994 for his moving portrayal of AIDS-stricken lawyer Andrew Beckert in Johnatan Demme’s film entitled „Philadelphia”. The following year he took home his second Oscar for his unforgettable performance in the title role of Robert Zemeckis’ film „Forest Gump”. He also won Golden Globe Awards for both films. Tom Hanks more recently garnered Academy Awards, Golden Globe and SAG Award nominations for his work in Steven Spielberg’s film „Saving Private Ryan” and the last year he won a Golden Globe Award and garnered his 5th Oscar nomination for his role in „Cast Away.”
Tom Hanks isn’t a prima donna in the way Val Kilmer is. He’s a class act in a world that often lacks it. Sure the power that he has now can get to his head sometimes, but in the some position we’d do the same. In my opinion Tom Hanks is the kind of guy you want to have as a close friend, besides he’s a very good actor and his films are never boring.
