Tom Hanks may have won an Oscar for his turn as a gay lawyer battling AIDS in the 1993 film "Philadelphia" — but he doesn't think his performance would go over well today.
In his "Philadelphia" acceptance speech, Hanks said his work in the film "is magnified by the fact that the streets of heaven are too crowded with angels."
He’s done every genre and won every accolade under the sun. He’s come a long way from his sitcom start on Bosom Buddies.
Hanks took home his second best actor Oscar a year later for playing the title role in 1994's "Forrest Gump."
Hanks’ 1980s heyday was filled with classic comedies like Splash, Big, and The Money Pit, just to name a few.
By the 1990s, the two-time Oscar winner had earned the right to take risks after years of safe yet lovable films.
As Hanks pointed out, there were successes and duds after shifting his focus.
