Biography
Tom Hanks has proven equally adept at comedy and drama emerging in the 1990s as one of Hollywood's most acclaimed and best-loved performers. Dropping out of college, he spent three seasons acting with the Great Lakes Shakespeare Festival in Cleveland (Ohio) before finding his first mainstream exposure as Kip/Buffy opposite Peter Scolari in the ABC sitcom "Bosom Buddies", about a pair of wisecracking ad men forced to cross-dress in order to keep a cheap apartment in a NYC women's hotel.

Hanks found immediate stardom with his first leading movie role, opposite mermaid Daryl Hannah in "Splash" (1984) but the funny, if relentlessly sophomoric, "Bachelor Party" (1984) was followed by a handful of misfires. In 1988, Hanks displayed his versatility with two acclaimed performances: as the caustic and ambitious stand-up comedian in "Punchline" and as a teenager trapped in the body of an adult in "Big". The latter earned Hanks an Oscar nomination as Best Actor, capitalized on his youthful charm, and fixed him--perhaps permanently--with the label "boyish".

To his credit, Hanks tried to stretch as performer but met with mixed results. His casting as Wall Street heavyweight Sherman McCoy was considered one of the crucial misjudgments that scuttled Brian De Palma's adaptation of "Bonfire of the Vanities" (1990). Another attempt to shed his nice-guy image, in "A League of Their Own" (1992) was more successful, though the actor's boozing ex-ballplayer impressed critics more than audiences.< p class="body"> Hanks returned to romantic comedy with suprisingly successful results with "Sleepless in Seattle" (1993), opposite Meg Ryan. and finally broke out of the typecasting with his back-to-back Oscar-winning portrayals of an AIDS-stricken lawyer in "Philadelphia" (1994) and the triumphant child-man "Forrest Gump" (1995). Fresh from this triumph, he anchored "Apollo 13" (1996), portraying astronaut Jim Lovell. Following his feature screenwriting and directing debut, "That Thing You Do!" (1996), about a 60s rock-and-roll band, Hanks executive produced the well-received 1998 HBO miniseries about the NASA space program "From the Earth to the Moon". He returned to starring roles in the Steven Spielberg-directed WWII story "Saving Private Ryan" (receiving a Best Actor Academy Award nomination for his turn as the captain leading soldiers in search of a missing soldier) and reteaming with Meg Ryan for the romantic comedy "You've Got Mail" (both 1998).
