And not surprisingly, it is known and loved around the world. A large man with eyes defenseless child. Mental defective genius with a heart of gold. Homosexual dying of AIDS and to the last to defend their civil rights.
In his youth he loved this mermaid who left for him .... In his Mature years he had to work as a guard at the prison, the Department for sentenced to death... It was hard but not harder than to fight the fascists in Normandy and die, saving private Ryan. And now he was transfigured in Professor Robert Langdon, an expert on symbolism in the film adaptation of the bestseller by Dan brown.
Tom Hanks is known and loved around the world, and the diversity of its cinematic images!
Tom Hanks was born July 9, 1956 in Oakland, California. He was barely six years old when his mother ran away with her lover, leaving Tom and two sons to his father, who worked as a cook in a roadside eatery. Later the divorce was made official. Father had been seriously affected by the collapse of the family, drank a lot, constantly changed jobs, moved from town to town, and the boys never managed to spend a whole year in one school. Because of this, in the childhood of Tom's virtually no friends. The need to adjust to a new home, new neighbors, new staff in schools, and most importantly - to new passions father, who had always lived in their house, has had an adverse impact on the psyche of the boy: he grew withdrawn, shy, unsociable, not evoked no sympathy from peers or adults in the school poorly studied.
And, perhaps, his fate would have been not so brilliantly, if a teacher of literature Rowley Transports, with which the Volume has reduced the fate in the graduating class of the school.
Something special saw Transports in the silent, sullen teenager, somehow he managed to discern, under barbed armor is a gentle, sensitive, artistic soul... Rowley Transports was obsessed with Shakespeare and every year in school he directed one of Shakespeare's plays. He made every effort to be interested in Shakespeare and the theatre of Tom Hanks.
Apparently, Tom was already born actor, because even his first role of Mercutio from Romeo and Juliet is played without any prior training in acting, the audience reacted enthusiastically. And what the audience! A school teacher who could not tolerate losers Hanks! Classmates, who did not want to be friends with him due to the fact that he's so aloof and strange! They all applauded him standing. Mercutio was the main hero of the story. After his death, nobody was interested to see how it will develop the relationship of Romeo and Juliet... especially because everyone already knew how they would end.
After school Is enrolled in Chabot College, which was known student theatre, and two years later he transferred to the University of California at Sacramento, in the course of dramatic art, from which he graduated with honors. During the presentation of his thesis of the course is Chekhov's "the Cherry orchard", where Tom played the role of Gayev, - saw him famous theatre Director Vincent Dowling. And invited to Cleveland, "Shakespeare festival Great Lakes".
Shakespeare has clearly become Hanks guiding star: in Cleveland, he worked three seasons, received the award as best actor for his role in "Two of Verona, and moved to new York, in the theatre of the riverside, where again played in Shakespeare's plays! There he noticed the TV, Hanks began to appear in the series, but treat it only as a way to earn: a real art, he believed only the theatre.
About a great movie Tom Hanks then and not dreaming, considering his appearance to put it mildly - not suitable. Also considered in the agencies where without much hope That they send out their photos and profiles. But his talent still noted film Director Ron Howard, who saw Hanks in the TV series "Happy days".
In 1984, Howard invited Hanks on trial in his new film "Splash" is a comedic romance about a mermaid who falls in love with the man and left for his sake ocean. First Howard planned to shoot Tom Hanks in the role of disreputable brother of the main character, but then approved for the lead role. The film was a great success with the audience. Soft fascination Volume, its charming awkwardness and naive approach is the best suited for the image "a good American boy", or as it is called in America "good guy next door"!
Hanks began vying with each other to invite, but for the most part in the same roles all the same "good guy" in light comedies and melodramas. At that time, when the actor could not have much to choose, he starred in many films of the day: "the Bachelor party", "Man in the red shoes," "Volunteers"... Again to show he managed only in the Comedy "Big" stories of a boy growing up in one night, the child in the adult body, thrown into the harsh adult world. This role was like a rehearsal for "the Forrest Gump" and no wonder that the film was a success both from viewers and critics. And for this role, Hanks was first nominated for an Oscar as Best Actor, and won the prize "Golden globe".
After his career was naturally good. The only mistake was trying to play the "bad guy" in the movie "the Bonfire of theslave" by Brian de Palma. The audience wanted to see Hanks only in the roles of good guys!
And he has fixed the bug, when in 1993 he appeared in the role of a young widower in the movie "Sleepless in Seattle". This romance with the American people still continue to love, and in other countries, it also had considerable success. Hanks was nominated for "Golden globe" - the truth at that time have not received it. They cute blond Meg Ryan is a partner on the film became so popular and a favorite pair that five years later, their love is "repeated" for the audience in the film "letter to You".
But the fate of Rowley of Transports, teachers, who had such a serious impact on young Tom Hanks, was sad. In one sad day in school learned that an elderly teacher is homosexual. At the request of parents and most teachers, Transports was dismissed. Although more than thirty years he has not been accused of harassment to the boys, and his only sexual partner was his senior by a few years...
When Tom Hanks learned about this, he was shocked. He loved and respected Rowley of Transports. He believed that it is possible to be a good person and great teacher, regardless of sexual orientation... a few years after that, on the wave of success "Sleepless in Seattle, Tom had made for themselves a role in the movie "Philadelphia": the role of homosexual dying of AIDS, rejected by society, destroyed even before physical death.
His agent was opposed to That undertook this role. The agent was sure that That will ruin his career, because he already had established roles tender and touching "adult child", "the good guy next door"! After all, if a good guy next door can still be a gangster, as in "Fire theslave", he definitely should not be dying homosexual... But Tom insisted and starred in the film. And in 1994 he received for this role first in your life "Oscar" and the second "Golden globe".
Speaking at the ceremony, a thanksgiving speech Tom Hanks, he mentioned his favorite teacher Rowley of Transports, which showed him the way to art and suffered for their sexual orientation. This speech, which was heard by all who watched on TV the ceremony of "Oscar", completely changed the life of a 69-year-old Rowley of Transports. From despised all off, he suddenly turned into a hero-Martyr.
But Tom did not stop there: he donated 125 thousand dollars of his school for the construction of premises for the school of theater - provided that this theatre will be named Rowley of Transports.
This story is so struck America in 1997 about the teacher-the homosexual and his apprentice movie star Frank Oz shot the feature film "Input and output" - where, however, all was presented comically, added many other details and characters, Rowley of Transports was renamed Howard Bracket and played his famous comedian Kevin Kline and Tom Hanks called Cameron Drake and he was portrayed handsome Matt Dillon. Moreover, this film is known that there in an episode of Oscar awards involved a huge number of stars - someone with one replica, and someone even without a replica.
The second "Oscar" and the third "Golden globe" Tom Hanks was already in 1995, for the main role in the movie "Forrest Gump". This role became Hanks crucial. After the release of the film on screens around the world remembered the clumsy man with a high forehead and naive eyes, very strange and very cute.
I must say that Tom Hanks is only one and the same actor twice in a row was awarded the title "Best Actor of the year: Spencer Tracy won an Oscar in 1937 and 1938.
After "Forrest Gump" Hanks was able to dictate terms to choose scenarios and wait for a good role indefinitely, without fear that audiences and filmmakers forget. Than he did. And he misses no more.
For the role of astronaut Jim Lovell in the movie "Apollo 13" Hanks earned generous praise from critics. For the role of commander of a rescue team in the movie "Saving private Ryan" Hanks extolled to the skies and he was meant to third Oscar... Which it is, however, not received, exactly as the "Golden globe" for this role would once again nominated. His performance in "the Green mile" has caused critics rave trembling, and the audience - the tears in my eyes.
He fearlessly took on the role in the movie "the Victim shipwreck" and was subjected to this torture in the name of art: first, he needed to become fat to six pounds, and then to lose twenty-five!
He voiced cartoons... And already received for this award MTV.
From filming the sequel to "Forrest Gump" - in the movie called "Gump and Tom Hanks refused, saying that he is just not interested: he has lived the life of Forrest Gump. But Tom Hanks found it interesting to play not just bad, but very bad guy, which he did in the movie "road to perdition".
However, the "bad guy" Michael Sullivan performed Hanks also not unique, charming and gentle, as all previous heroes...
Only in this role tenderness breaks in very rare moments when Michael Sullivan returns home and becomes a cold-blooded killer in a caring father and a loving wife. And then in a grieving father and husband.... In person, wounded to the heart, half of the slain, living only revenge!
Tom Hanks said in an interview that playing the role of an assassin he was not only very interesting but also very difficult, and yet very easy because the image of "family" Michael Sullivan he brought in front of the camera himself - as a loving family man...
The first time Tom Hanks was married in 1978, actress Samantha Lewis. She bore him a son Colin and daughter Elizabeth. This marriage was exemplary in all respects, but in 1985 Samantha fell in love with a partner on a new movie and walked away from her husband. However, they were in good relations continued to see each other and That always took an active part in the upbringing of children. And 12 March 2002, still very young Samantha died from cancer.
In 1985, Tom married another actress Rita Wilson. She also bore him two children: sons Chester and Truman. Tom Hanks is a wonderful father, a very sensitive and patient educator. All children adore him, and the eldest son Colin went in his father's footsteps and became an actor.
As husband Tom Hanks too perfect, than a lot of grief tabloid journalists. He does not change, does not drink, does not beat his wife, leads a healthy lifestyle, its all love About it... just nothing to write in a partition, the scandalous chronicle of Hollywood!
But with his own mother That was able to see only when he became an adult, a famous actor, and the prodigal mother, seeing him on the screen, suddenly realized how much she loves her boy and how much of it misses. However, two other sons, who are less successful in life, she longed not so desperately. But the Fact still forgave her and from time to time lends money, although his family dashing my grandma keeps them away, fearing that contact with it will not benefit his children.
Tom Hanks several times had become an absolute favorite in two categories - drama and Comedy - when the Americans chose their favourites among the actors. And this is not surprising. Hanks is not only a brilliant actor, but in life he is such a little cutie! He is not capricious, not aggressive, has no bad habits and not suffer the "star" disease. Generally Hanks is one of the few stars about whom virtually no one can say anything bad.
In 2003, Tom Hanks took first place in the list of the 100 most influential people in the world of show business, published annually by the American magazine Entertainment Weekly. In second place was directed by Steven Spielberg, followed by Mel Gibson, Tom cruise and Julia Roberts...
When a group of psychologists were asked to analyze the reasons of such a choice, they all unanimously declared that "Tom Hanks - man, causing an unaccountable sense of trust".
However, we cannot say that to be a star so easy. Universal love sometimes can seriously complicate life.
After the incredible success of the film "the Da Vinci Code" That had to hire security for their families, they had been fans and paparazzi.
