What Is Tom Hanks Greatest Acting Role?
I Think Tom Hanks Best Role Is As Forrest Gump
I think we can all agree that Tom Hanks is a great actor, but what would you say is his greatest acting role out of all his classic movies?
This is not necessarily his best movie, but the movie in which you think his performance is the best. Is it Forrest Gump, or maybe the AIDS related movie Philadelphia? Maybe you like his role in Saving Private Ryan, or Cast Away. Maybe like me you loved his role as Josh Baskin in the movie "Big", or maybe another role.
Go ahead and have your say...
What is Tom Hanks greatest acting role?
Forrest Gump by far

''Life is like a box of chocolates.....'' that is one EPIC film ever made.

SusanRDavis says:
Hard choice, as I loved so many of his roles to date. But still Forrest Gump.
No way, something else...
katelyn S. says:
I say... saving private ryan! Hands down my fab movie
absolutelycreative says:
He have many of great rolls but, I watches " I got mail" and " Sleepless " many time never get tired of it.
Harry says:
I think he is great in many movies. I saw Cast Away and The Terminal recently (The Terminal was first time), and he is absolutely magnificent in them. Then you have Saving Private Ryan, Forrest Gump, Road to Pertition (which was Paul Newmans last role by the way, and he was great there) etc etc. Just give him a script that fits him and he will blow you away!
RbDeraj says:
Haven't seen them all, but Saving Private Ryan is the best one I've seen so far. Forrest Gump and Castaway are close though. Toy Story didn't even make it in the top 25?
mrknowitall54321 says:
I love the green mile, it's my favorite film of all time.
poddys says:
I haven't seen Splash in years but loved it. Big has always been a favorite of mine though.
victel says:
Love him in all movies but Splash and Big especially.
LaughingLady says:
Forrest Gump or the Green Mile
dunlopweb says:
Big. No contest ... oh, there's Green Mile too! Damn. Big!
poddys says:
I loved The Green Mile, it was an excellent creepy movie. I love the way that Tom Hanks is able to get right into any role that he takes on.
