Tom Hanks is one of the most beloved Hollywood actors of all time, but he made his big-screen debut in a largely forgotten film project.
Tom Hanks has been one of Hollywood's most beloved actors for decades, but his first movie role actually came in a surprising film. Most remembered for his dramatic turns in films like 1993's Philadelphia, the Jack-of-all-trades actor wasn't limited to serious roles alone, and he actually got his start doing comedy. After making his debut in the 1970s, it didn't take Hanks long to establish himself, and by the 1990s he was an actor with one Oscar nomination under his belt.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Hanks's strength as an actor came from his ability to play a mix of the likable everyman while also perfectly embodying historical figures as well. Tom Hanks's films with Robert Zemeckis were a match made in cinematic heaven, and he continued his string of hits into the 2020s with biopics like Elvis. Like most actors, Hanks's beginnings were humble, and he put in years of work before transforming into the household name that he would become.
Unlike other early horror roles which typecast actors for years, Hanks moved from beneath the shadow of his horror debut later in 1980 when he landed a recurring role on the sitcom Bosom Buddies. Ironically, it was Hanks's comedic performances that found him typecast throughout the '80s, and he appeared in a string of successful movies that would set his career toward the heights it would eventually reach.
It Was Hanks' Only True Horror Film To Date Many of Tom Hanks's best movies are comedies and dramas, and the talented performer even gravitated toward action and crime films as the 1990s wore on. Interestingly, He Knows You're Alone is Hanks's only true horror film role, and it's largely forgotten. Hanks's comedic career did see him star in the 1989 black comedy The 'Burbs, which features horror elements, but its comedy is the real attraction.
