Tom Hanks is the most fascinating interview I have been glued to. He has great depth of knowledge about the psychology of his craft to make successful characters he assumes in his movie roles. Also a great story teller of his experiences and career.
One thing everyone would agree on, there is only one Tom Hanks. Probably never be another one like him. He is the everyman of our time. A natural born celebrity. Samuel Clemens was that man in his time.
What a great interview. Tom and I are about the same age and I Grew up in the Bay area (On the good side) so I knew all the places he talked about. I sure as hell could not do what he does but it sure is fun hearing how he got into it and made it work. I ended up in Software like most everyone else on the peninsula.
An all-time fave. Loved the interview. What fun. Thinking back to when I first remember seeing his work on Bosom Buddies, I was so surprised that “that guy” was so great even with the favorable impression he made in that series. I love his Everyman, simplistic depth. Thanks Tom!
This interview turned up randomly on my TH-cam feed, and what a gem! Tom Hanks is a genuinely interesting and engaging man, and Guy Raz does a great job of not interrupting and letting what is a great interview flow from beginning to end.
I saw Tom preform at GLTF and was always impressed with his work and thought. He has talent. In grad school our one housemate had the television on and there was Bosom Buddies on the screenI looked and yelled OMG its Tom Hanks and they looked at me like I was irrational but the joke was on them.
What a refreshing thing to hear Tom Hanks, who is my age of 66 say that he wrestles with authenticity in his profession of lying for a living (1:35:09) and lying to himself as a human being. So many actors say that telling the truth is the key to being a great actor and I never believed that to be true. I think that's great for their ego but not creatively true.
I don't think anyone needs the political opinions of a person who pretends to be someone else for a living. My garbage collector has opinions just as valid.
I usually have about a 5-7 minute attention span until I click off, but I couldn't stop watching this interview. Well done, both of you.
My ADHD is cured!

Tom Hanks is so Inspiring and Humbling. Thank you for this Amazing Conversation!

Great interview! I started watching Tom Hanks as a Kid, with Bossom Buddies & *Big*

Nice to hear everything about Tom Hanks' formative years, hopes, dreams and success. Seems like his older sister and older brother shaped him a lot

A great interview and a fresh recommendation from TH-cam
One of my best 2 hours, wonderful.
Glad this came across my feed today, and surprised there aren't more views after being up for 7 days.. Darned YT. Great interview with Tom!
Great interview of a great man! Thank you.
OMGosh. 2 hours of Tom Hanks.
The best interview I’ve ever seen with Tom Hanks. You have taken over the crown for long-form interviews from Kevin Pollak’s Chat Show ❤
Tom and Peter and the whole cast was great to work with!
Excellent interview skills, Guy.
This is an amazing listen.

Tom was fascinating in "Road to Perdition." My favorite of his portrayals.

Imagine bouncing around from place to place finding work when you’re literally a descendant of Abraham Lincoln :P
Restaurant business? According to the Wall Street Journal: the career from Hell!

He went to skyline high school... The fancy school in the East Oakland hills. They must have moved from Alameda

ask about the epstein list
Let's talk about buttered sausage. What it does, where it comes from
Are you on it?

Ask him does he endorse 45 47s human Trafficing law? That put both Jeffrey and your buddy Harvey away for life ?
Are you trying to find out if you’re on it?
We know what you did Tom…
Because you were there?
Great movies? .. come on steep away from the anger against the world
Keep believing every dumb conspiracy you read online, traitor.
