I just heard Streets of Philadelphia on radio, which made me think of movies where Tom Hanks is in a leading role. I could not think of one I’ve seen where he was not convincing in the role.

I think he is one of the very best actors we’ve seen. Disagree?

      I’m not sure any of the actors you listed has played a variety of different kinds of roles convincingly comparable to TH repertoire.

        I think you might have missed the sarcasm in that post, probably because it was incredibly subtle and nuanced, much like the performances of Tom Cruise, Nicholas Cage, and Adam Sandler.

        I think you’re thinking of the Deep.

        But, I can see the similarities. Secrets and lies inside a single building committed to world domination. Of markets.

        I gotta hand it to Vaughn Snooze tho. He played himself really, really well in Magnolia.

          I’ll be honest, I don’t know what any of that means. I was referring to the rumor that Tom Cruise has been spotted buying fish at markets and taking it into the bathroom and exiting the bathroom without the fish.
