I should preface this by saying that I like a number of his movies...but it seems he plays himself in almost every movie; not the same character a la Harrison Ford, but Tom Hanks stuck on an island, Tom Hanks a gay lawyer stricken with AIDS, Tom Hanks a child in a man's body, Tom Hanks a brilliant symbologist caught in a web of international intrigue, and on and on and on. Please don't espouse the merits of Forrest Gump, because while it was a touching movie, I just don't think it's that difficult to play dumb; I think that a lot of actors could have done as well or better, perhaps with less fanfare because of Hanks' tremendous commercial appeal. What do you think?
