I consider myself as a fan of the huge actor Tom Hanks. He was born in Concord, California. His father, Amos Mefford Hanks, was a chef. His mother, Janet Marylyn, was a hospital worker; the two divorced in 1960. At school he was a shy kid with his teachers and classmates, but he was responsible with his obligations. He also acted in school plays.

Hanks studied theater at Chabot College, and after two years, transferred to Sacramento State University. In 1979 at New York City he made his film debut in He Knows You're Alone and got a part in a television movie entitled Mazes and Monsters.

He married Samantha Lewes from 1978 to 1987. The couple had two children, son Colin Hanks and daughter Elizabeth Ann. "In 1988, Hanks married actress Rita Wilson; raised in several different Christian denominations, Hanks converted from Roman Catholicism to Eastern Orthodox Christianity when marrying Wilson."

Tom Hanks really motivates me to always fight for a good purpose and never give up. His way of acting really impress all the audience because he acts with emotions and feelings, that makes him one the best actors in the world.
