Tom Hanks
From comedy star to two-time Academy Award winner, he became one of American cinema’s defining portraits of the ordinary hero.
Tom Hanks is one of the defining actors of modern American cinema. From his breakthrough as a comedy star in Big to consecutive Academy Award-winning performances in Philadelphia and Forrest Gump, and later roles in films such as Saving Private Ryan, Cast Away, Captain Phillips, and Sully, he developed a distinctive screen persona built on trust, restraint, humanity, and the resilience of ordinary people.
Collection: Splash Collection
Splash is a 1984 American fantasy romantic comedy film directed by Ron Howard, written by Lowell Ganz and Babaloo Mandel, and starring Tom Hanks, Daryl Hannah, John Candy, Eugene Levy, and Dody Goodman. A sequel, Splash, Too (directed by Greg Antonacci), was a television film released in 1988 (contradicting the first movie's finale revelation that if Allen goes to live in the sea, he can never return) starring Todd Waring as Allen Bauer, Amy Yasbeck as Madison, and Donovan Scott as Freddie Bauer. Only one member of the original cast, Dody Goodman, the Bauers' slightly deranged assistant Mrs. Stimler, reprises her role.
