Starting off his career as a comedian, it would have been difficult to predict that Tom Hanks would develop into one of the great movie actors. The cross-dressing TV comedy "Bosom Buddies" was his first prominent role, from which he transitioned into comedy films such as "Splash", "Bachelor Party" and "The Money Pit."

Other major films included "Apollo 13", "Saving Private Ryan" and the "Toy Story" films among many others.
