American Actor Tom Hanks star in Forrest Gump
American leading actor Tom Hanks has become one of the most popular stars in contemporary American cinema. Born July 9, 1956, in Concord, CA, Hanks spent much of his childhood moving about with his father, an itinerant cook, and continually attempting to cope with constantly changing schools, religions, and stepmothers.
Born on July 9, 1956, in Concord, California, actor Tom Hanks began performing with the Great Lakes Shakespeare Festival in 1977, later moving to New York City. He starred on the television sitcom Bosom Buddies, but became far more known when he starred in Ron Howard's Splash. He went on to star in many popular and acclaimed films and is now arguably one of the most powerful and well-respected actor in Hollywood.
All the while, Tom Hanks established himself as one of the finest and most respected actors of his generation as well as "the nicest guy in show business" and "the most trusted celebrity".
Tom’s big break also arrived in 1993 when director Jonathan Demme cast him for "Philadelphia" in the starring role of Andrew Beckett, an attorney with AIDS who bring suit against his former employee for discrimination after getting fired. Delivering a spectacular acting performance (one example is the weight loss needed for the role: 37 pounds), Tom was honored with a prestigious Oscar for Best Actor, as well as took home several awards like a Golden Globe, a Berlin Film Festival and a MTV Movie Award. The phenomenal triumph subsequently launched Tom Hanks as a Hollywood’s A-List actor and cemented his standing as a leading dramatic actor. With Robert Zemeckis at the helm, Hanks’ dazzling performance in one of the most famous movies of all time "Forrest Gump", won him countless awards, including an Actor, a National Board of Review, a Golden Globe, a Chicago Film Critics Association and an American Comedy for Best Actor as well as a second Academy Award : Tom Hanks becomes the only actor ever, along with Spencer Tracy in 1937, to win two consecutive Oscars. The film itself received enormous success at the box office and won another Oscar for Best Picture and Best Director.
