Hello everyone! Today I want you to know about a kind, well-known and handsome actor. I'm sure you saw his films and loved it. He doesn't only actor, he also a director, a produser and a writer. Well...read it!
The Hanks family grew through remarriage, with Amos's new wife bringing five children to the house. The marriage only lasted two years and Amos became a solo parent struggling to make ends meet for his children. The family moved around a lot - Tom would later tell an interviewer by the age of 10 he had had "three mothers, five grammar schools and ten houses".
He directed and starred in 'Larry Crowne' with Julia Roberts in 2011, which proved to be a flop. He will be appearing in 'Cloud Atlas' in 2012 and 'Captain Philips' in 2013.
From the simple and loveable title character in Forrest Gump, to a charismatic and liberal Texas congressman in Charlie Wilson's War, Tom Hanks has consistently demonstrated his versatility as an actor.
Thomas Jeffrey Hanks was the third of four children. Hanks' parents, Amos, a chef, and Janet, a hospital worker, divorced when Tom was young. Tom, his older sister Sandra, and older brother Larry, went to live with their father while the youngest, Jim, stayed with his mother.

In early 1980 Hanks landed his first major role as one of the lead characters in the sitcom 'Bosom Buddies'. The Hanks family moved to California where their second child, Elizabeth, was born. 'Bosom Buddies' ended after two seasons and Hanks played small roles on 'Family Ties', 'The Love Boat' and 'Happy Days' where he fought The Fonz.
On 'Happy Days' he met Ron Howard, who played Richie Cunningham but, crucially, was also launching a career as a director. Howard asked Hanks to audition for a minor role in a movie he was making called 'Splash' in 1984.

Hanks ended up winning the lead role opposite Darryl Hannah, who played a mermaid washed up in modern day America. The film was a box office success and so his career was launched.
Next was 'The Green Mile', hit, 'Toy Story 2', hit, 'Cast Away', hit, 'Road to Perdition', a slight slip - it only made $180 million. 'Catch Me If You Can' with Leonardo DiCaprio in 2002 was another return to box office success followed by 'The Terminal' and 'The Polar Express' in 2004.
In 2006, Hanks starred in the adaptation of the massively popular novel 'The Da Vinci Code'. Splash, in 1988, was considered a hit making $69 million to date. The Da Vinci Code has made $758 million in two years. The total revenue from his films exceeds $5 billion. It goes without saying that Hanks is a very rich man.
In 2007, Hanks played the role of Charlie Wilson, a charismatic and liberal Texas congressman, in 'Charlie Wilson's War'. The movie tells the tale of how Wilson joins forces with his sometimes lover, Houston socialite and active anti-communist Joanne Herring (played by Julia Roberts) and CIA Operative Gust Avrakotos (played by Philip Seymour Hoffman), in the largest and most successful covert operation in history - the arming of the Afghan freedom fighters in their fight against the Soviet Union. In 2010, Hanks reprised his role as Woody in 'Toy Story 3' and teamed up with Spielberg once again to produce the ten part miniseries 'The Pacific' about America's role in Japan during the Second World War.
