Tom Hanks got his start in horror
It’s hard to believe that Hanks got his start in show business nearly 40 years ago. Hanks’ first role was as Elliot in He Knows You’re Alone. That same year, the California native landed a role on the popular show Bosom Buddies.

Hanks says his relationship with his wife is what drives him and makes him a better actor. In 2001 he told Oprah Winfrey, “I view my wife as my lover, and we have a bond that goes beyond words like wife or girlfriend or mother,” he continued, “For example, I was able to construct a number of things in Philadelphia because of my relationship with Rita. The way my character felt about his lover is the way I feel about mine. The same was true when I played Forrest Gump, who loved Jenny. Without my connection with Rita, I don’t know how I would’ve been able to connect with what Forrest was going through.”
