Tropedia

  • Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
  • All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
  • All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.

This man named the trope Tom Hanks Syndrome for a reason.

Hanks worked in television (Bosom Buddies) and family-friendly comedies such as Splash and Big before achieving success as a dramatic actor portraying several notable roles, including Andrew Beckett in Philadelphia, the title role in Forrest Gump, Commander James A. Lovell in Apollo 13, Captain John H. Miller in Saving Private Ryan, Michael Sullivan in Road to Perdition, Sheriff Woody in Pixar's Toy Story, and Chuck Noland in Cast Away, as well as helping to produce Band of Brothers and The Pacific.

He also played Robert Langdon in The Da Vinci Code and Angels and Demons. Has hosted Saturday Night Live eight times (half as many times as Alec Baldwin, who as of September 2011, is SNL's most frequent host), and has made cameos on the show (including on the last episode of season 34 in which he played a moronic version of himself on "Celebrity Jeopardy"). Runs his own studio called Playtone, named after the music label in his self-produced That Thing You Do.

His more important films include:[]
