Tom Hanks

Academy Award-winning comic and dramatic actor who won consecutive Oscars for Philadelphia (1993) and Forrest Gump (1994). He also starred in the offbeat comedies Splash (1984) and Big (1988) and the romances Sleepless in Seattle (1993) and You've Got Mail (1998).

(1996), in which he also starred.
