Tom Hanks is not as good-looking as George Clooney, plays a virtuoso like Robert de Niro. He does not have the youthful charisma of Leonard DiCaprio, and is of course loaded also not as muscular as Sylvester Stallone or Arnold Schwarzenegger. And yet Tom Hanks is a Superstar of the Hollywood cinema. Maybe even the biggest at the moment.
Tom Hanks often plays normals
This is the type. How in the 1940s and ’50s, James Stewart, or just recently, Matt Damon, Tom Hanks has a average face. In order to be able to identify most of the audience.

Since he was young and his teammates were not quite so charming: “Turner & Hooch” (1989)
People like You and I – the most in a Situation that is not normal: Lost on a desert island (“Cast Away”), stranded on the Normandy at the beginning of the Invasion of the allies (“The soldier James Ryan”), lost in space (“Apollo 13”), or in the clutches of a globalized bureaucracy (“Terminal”) – Tom Hanks makes in these spaces and landscapes are always a good figure.
The child in the man: Tom Hanks
When he met with Wonder and a questioning look, with a simple gesture and a timid touching Occur as a result of the world, then he is the best. And if he goes a step further, sometimes even larger. As Forrest Gump, he played a mentally slightly retarded man who needs to assert himself against the course of time of the century. In “Big” he slipped into the role of a boy in the body of the Mature man. And in Philadelphia he made the world aware of AIDS, because he was so convincing a sick mimed.
Lost in space: Tom Hanks in “Apollo 13”
The German spectators can look forward to at the moment. Because Tom Hanks seems to have with Tom Tykwer, a Director found, the Work is fun. After “Cloud Atlas” worked for the Americans for “A hologram for the king” for a second Time with the German. The role of the in the Saudi desert, stranded sales Manager, Alan Clay was written by Hanks on the body: A somewhat awkward-emerging, beginning, unhappy man grows with his tasks and is purified at the end, and wiser.
These are the stories written by the cinema since the beginning of the seventh art in the last century – Tom Hanks is the perfect embodiment of this type, and this is probably why so long and successfully for the long term. Tom Hanks is the “Mr. Everyman” of international cinema.
