I truly love both, but I think Tom Hanks is one of the greatest actors of all time. His diversity never ceases to amaze me.

Wow, tough choice!
Tom Hanks has gotten more press earlier and more often than Gary Sinise, but Gary Sinise has been there all along. Tom Hanks was incredible in "Forrest Gump", but so was Gary Sinise. Gary Sinise was explosive in "Ransom". Tom Hanks ripped my heart out in "Philadelphia".
I honestly can't chose, but if I could pick a winner today for the toughest question to answer, this one would win hands down!

Well, since Tom Hanks has won at least two Oscars, he is the best. Plus he has played such widely divergent roles.
But Gary Sinise is compelling as an actor.

I like Tom Hanks more, but I am not saying he is absolutely the best actor because fame in hollywood comes from many things apart from "talent", such as luck, interpersonal relationships, and timing. SO, even thought Tom got two times oscar doesn't mean he is "the best", thought I find him to be a great actor and I absolutely LOVE him~ Yeah~

Why do we have this obsession with who is better?
Hanks does stuff that Senise can't, and the same is true of Senise. F'rinstance, would reversing the casting in Forrest
Gump work as well as the original? Don't think so!
But both men are quite wonderful in what they do.
Radical thought folks; there are no (repeat NO) best actors. That is a construct we glom onto actors we like. There are Good actors, bad actors, and sometimes GREAT actors, but no bests or betters.
