Tom Hanks is Brilliant

I had forgotten what a talented and versatile actor he really is. It's easy to become jaded when someone becomes such a huge superstar that their persona begins to overshadow the roles they play, but I've been watching Saturday Night Live's "Best of Tom Hanks" episode tonight and it's been great to see Hanks progressing through his career from a young up-and-comer all the to a big movie star.

The variety of the roles he played and his complete and utter commitment to the reality of each character is remarkable. And he's hosted the show 7 times! That's got to be a record. He's so damn funny every time, too!
