Tom Hanks

Tom Hanks-5-1024x767Hanks was reunited with Ron Howard in his next part, playing the commander and astronaut Jim Lovell in Apollo 13 (1995). The film was widely lauded by critics as were the performances of the whole group (which comprised Kevin Bacon and Bill Paxton, Gary Sinise and Ed Harris) and Kathleen Quinlan. The film also earned nine Academy Award nominations, winning two. Hanks then acted as Sheriff Woody in Disney/Pixar's computer-animated animated film Toy Story (1995). A year later the director made his debut with the musical comedy That Thing You Do! (1996) about the rise and fall of a 1960s pop group, also playing the role of a producer. Time magazine's Richard Schickel called it "charming" and the majority of reviewers agree that Hanks' performances earned him a place in the top romantic comedy stars of his time.
