Tom Hanks

My favourite artist.

I can't really think of any artist I really admire but if I have to pick a favourite one it would be Tom Hanks. Tom Hanks is an American actor and Film Maker mostly known for his roles in Forrest Gump and Cast Away, 2 of my favourite movies. I really like the way he acts. Personally I think he is one of the best actors in the world because he can transmit to you every emotion and it's actually pretty convincing. I don't really know if the movies he works in are specially good for me or it's just his acting but I can say with certainty that every time I see him on the screen I know I will enjoy the movie and have a really good time. I remember one of the first movies I saw of him was "Catch me if you can", a movie that tells the story of a proffesional scammer played by Leonardo Dicaprio who is constatly running and messing around with the police officer that had his case assigned who was played by Tom Hanks.

After I saw this movie which I really enjoyed I started looking for some more films of Tom Hanks and ended up watching Forrest Gump. I have a lot of friends that think Forrest Gump is extremly slow and boring, personally I liked every second of it. The acting of Hanks really got me on that movie and I just don't know how people found this movie boring, It's a beautiful story about overcoming your dificulties and never giving up. Nowadays I don't watch many movies or T.V. shows so I don't know any of his new movies. For example I didn't watch "Davinci Code" and honestly I don´t think I will. I think all artists start getting worse with time because of the media they are involved in, some of them for money will accept some roles that end up being simply bad, so I prefer to have the memory of a good actor who always maneged to get in my mind when he acted. Even though I know he is a good actor I rather stay with his earlier performances because you know:
