TOM HANKS
You probably recognize Tom Hanks from the smash-hit movies Apollo 13, Forrest Gump, Philadelphia, Sleepless in Seattle and Big. He won Best Actor Oscars two years in a row for Forrest Gump and Philadelphia. Did you know, however, that Tom supplied the voice of Woody, the cowboy in Toy Story?
Before movies, Tom starred in the hilarious television show Bosom Buddies, where he disguised himself as a woman so he could live in an all-female apartment building. He also made guest appearances as Michael J. Fox's alcoholic uncle on the popular show Family Ties.
Tom had his first major success on the big screen after a one-time appearance on TV's Happy Days. Ron Howard, who played Richie Cunningham on the show before becoming a successful producer and director, asked Tom to read for a secondary role in Howard's movie Splash. Tom got the lead instead!
Tom maybe one of the biggest stars in Hollywood today, but he will always be a bosom buddy!
