KPCS: Tom Hanks

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 ก.ย. 2024
- Join Kevin as he sits down with American movie icon and arguably the nicest man on the planet, Tom Hanks, as he discusses the many roles he plays in the film industry. Tom chats about the hectic press schedule for Forrest Gump leading him to write, direct, and star in his own film; how the role of Jimmy Dugan changed his acting choices; and his stance on Disneyland traditions.
I swear that Hanks could do the KPCS 5 times and still keep the show fresh without repeating any discussion points. Just so entertaining.
He's like a box of, well, something.
Single best guest appearance on any form of media I have ever seen. In the moment, self-deprecrating, warm, witty and even a through line of quality callbacks. Unbelievable. Tom Hanks deserves everything he has gotten in life.
It bothers me just how riveted I am by this man's American Experience. He is absolutely fascinating to me.
why did it take so long for me to find these interviews, anyone who loves movies wants exactly this. Your favorite actors, real talk an over two hours long. Pollak is a genius he's getting Interviews people on TV would kill for.
+adam michael I just stumbled across this myself. Good stuff.
UsfanlovesMinho Me too!! So nice...
I really dont get how anyone could ever talk smack about tom hanks.. hes in my opinion the best actor ever.. show some fucking respect
Come to find out he's on Epsteins island.
Tom Hanks is one of the funniest people on this planet. I laughed harder for him than the funniest comedians who have been on here. OMG! Laugh out loud funny.
Musk wants to send him to Mars.
Kevin I'm a huge fan of you and your work.
Your Alan Arkin gag, with the answering machine still, cracks me up. Rock on I'm so glad you have the show!
Yes, Love your work, Kevin! I'd watch your show even if Tom Hanks wasn't on it. LOL
Tom is by far one of the greatest that I've enjoyed watching from his early start to today. A class act all the way of what a true Human being is thank you Kevin, for making my Friday afternoon a great one!. All the best from Oslo, Norway
These interviews are so natural and relaxed that you feel like you´re best friends with Tom Hanks.
This episode will go down in KPCS history. Fantastic!
This will definitely burst many people's bubbles:
While I can't say _'who'_ first came up with the _"I don't accept the premise of the question"_ response, I do know that Rush Limbaugh has been using it since at LEAST the 1990's... and it's plausible that he's used it before then.
THIS is absolute GOLD if you're a Tom Hanks fan! Memorable moment: 55:40 mark- I laughed so hard I think I might have caused some internal damage! Damn.
OMG Forrest Gump got drunk! 🤣
Absolutely the best intimate interview I have ever seen, Kudos to KPCS on this.
Great interview. Hanks is such an icon. I had so much fun.
Best part....around 1:37:00 he says "The key to happiness is to tell the truth-It'll get you into trouble some times but who cares". Never agreed with any statement more
Touche!
He is just that good to listen to. Awesome chat.
This interview is fantastic! Two warm and generous Hollywood guys ( a near oxymoron) speak candidly. I couldn't be a bigger fan of Pollak or Hanks. Bravo! My faith in humanity is temporarily restored (let's not go overboard.)
I'm so happy to have found this show recently and what a great guest! I had heard Hanks do a long talk on The Nerdist but this is so much better! Thank you Kevin Pollak.
KPCS interviews are what a true interview should be. I can really see the effort that gets put into researching a guest, it comes out great
Great show Kevin, the best so far. Hanks is such a funny man and you guys looked like you had so much fun. I'll miss you all until next year. I hope every body on your show has a fantastic Holiday.
Tom Hanks isn't just a good actor, but a nice guy. Why can't there be more people like this guy in Hollywood.
Tom Hanks isn't a good actor , but he is a nice guy.
mano fiske Nobody asked you for your opinion on his ability to act.
Man, this is better than most films I've sat through - if Tom Hanks ever comes back to Ireland, he's having a beer, on me!
What an infinite well of grace, respect, humility, and comedy is stored in Mr. Hanks. He's about as present and honest and playful as a person can be. His ability to remember details and names spanning years, even from some brief one-off occasion, tells me he was truly present and truly engaged and interested, not just killing time or going through the motions or trying to prove something. Every interview I've seen with him, he brings such refinement and pleasant goofy energy that fills the room, while also leaving plenty of space for everyone else to be themselves. He seems to bring out the best in people and bring everyone up to the same level. Remarkable, admirable person.
I watched it live, comming in maybe like half an hour into the show. I had to leave before the end too. But now I have seen the parts i missed. Thanks again the crew of KPCS for another wonderful interview.
Greetings from the UK! I watch on my laptop, my mobile devices and chromecast it to my Tele. The best interview ever, in a series of, the best interviews ever! This show should be shown in cinemas, totally worth the admission price! Every one a gem! Better and better, but, how's about this, get someone in to interview Kevin on the 200th show? Having listened to his biography there's a fascinating show right there! Keep up the good work!
Tom is a great guy. Hands down one of my favorite people ever
Nate Hamann I agree 100%!
Another reason to love Tom Hanks: Disneyland purist. Changes make him berserk. EXACTLY ME.
An interesting, entertaining, and thoroughly enjoyable, interview. The biggest thing I took from it, was getting a better insight of what it is like to become an actor and establish a successful career in show business.
Another great Kevin Pollack CS interview. Kevin is as thorough as Howard STern when he interviews actors, film makers etc.. I would like to see him do voice impressions; he's the master.
At 2:40:54 "Hey Tom what are you doing up here? Doing Alan Thicke?" Tom Hanks is just naturally funny. One of the best interviews I've ever seen. It's what I like about this show, no schmoozing from the guest about some 17th century period piece or something like What's it like to work with... It's truly what I enjoy about it.
Great show. What a ridiculously talented guy.
I'm sorry I gotta say I love Money Pit and The Burbs. Tom Hanks' finest moments!
Matthew Conti The Burbs is my fav. Every character, every line.
Best line in the burbs: when the kid drives his garbage from his garage to the street- Tom hanks says : I’ve never seen that I’ve never seen that before lol
Thanks, Kevin and Tom. I could have listened to another 2 and a half hours. Love that Dragnet came up and will have to check out Electric City.
Fantastic. I could listen to two hours just on Road to Perdition.
This is one of the best interviews period !!! I had thought his 2 interviews on inside the actors studio were awesome; but this is much better; it truly is a must see; have a PBR and watch.
I have seen inside the actors studio interviews too and yes those are great but this was way better. I did love the moment Tom hanks talked about the movie Philadelphia tho and got emotional about a guy that had aids for real and was on the set and he talked about how he worked at some factory don't remember what kind of factory now but how he would wheel in his oxygen tank at work. That was a nice moment really showed what a wonderful person Tom Hanks is
This is sooo good! As were the Larry David and Steve Merchant interviews. Don't know how I missed these podcasts...
Kevin, you sometimes have to work the interview but that looked like pure fun and it was just as fun to watch. Four years was worth the wait!
My daily dose of Kevin...and I appreciate his intelligence and cuteness.....
speaking of intelligence..........I once heard a speech given by Tom that was so intellectual.......I couldn't understand him..and it was magnificent.
this was really a fantastic interview it was great to just have "a beer with Hanks" thanks much man
didn't see this until 2019, still golden.
One of my favorite actors!
One of the reasons why Hanks is a national treasure. He’ll be remembered as one of the tops.
Love Kevin Pollak! Glad this just 'randomly' came on my TH-cam feed while I was sleeping! LOL
that’s so fucking weird bc I just woke up 10 minutes ago and it’s 3 am and I could hear Tom hanks talking while I was sleeping so I had to rewind to the beginning and watch the whole thing
Tom is so easy going and down to earth plays a big part in the movie roles he is offered because movie directors tend to avoid difficult arrogant actors
Do you not agree....that Mr Hanks puts on a clinic of how to be an interviewee. What a guy.
Tom Hanks is droppin' fucking knowledge. This was a great interview.
NoEasyFeet really expresses that he researches his roles.
Home run guys! Just a great show! - thanks!
Mr. Hanks seems like a really genuine fella. After my dad died when I was 18, I took a lot of solace watching Tom Hanks movies; he has a sort of fatherly, warm, but no BS type of attitude. He tells stories, he jokes, he…he’s just a beaut.
He's a pedo
He dropped an "Opie Cunningham" ... Classic !!!
Tom is the best!.
Best KPCS guest Ever!!!! Tom Hanks is such a nice & interesting person..
One of the all time greats
Could have won Oscar for Castaway, Apollo 13, Saving PR...
Love Tom Hanks. Saw "Lucky Me" on Broadway and it was terrible, seems Nora had not polished the script, but Hanks gave it his all and it was so impressive to see him put everything into his performance that it was a great experience.
Impossible! He started at the Cleveland Shakespeare Festival. If only he'd play King Lear on Broadway. Why does he deprive his public?
Tom's a good guy. Damn talented.
The Burbs is my fav Hanks movie. I quote it hourly and it’s simply a hysterical, clever, fun wonderful movie. Thank you Mr.Hanks for a lifetime of laughs. You are truly a national treasure.
Julie Oakman we got em neighbor
I'd like to see Tom Hanks in a Tarantino film. For a genuine megastar he really comes across as someone who is very open and happy to answer anything.
Tom Hanks as a VILLAIN in a DRAMA/THRILLER ...NOT a comedy but a serious Bad Guy!! ..I'd love to see that just ONCE!
Me too
Kevin gets better in this interview, but Tom can make anyone look good. Thanks bud..signed a Pabst drinking Canadian.
1:07:37 according to wiki Vaughn Meader flew to Milwaukee (not Detroit like Tom says here, twice) when he had the conversation with the cab driver
Now I don't know who to believe. They've both been there for me in many instances in my life
Tom hanks is such a fantastic actor one of my favorites
Tom Hanks really is an every man. Of all of the stuff he could get the drink, he falls back to PBR.
Tom Hanks is so hilarious when he's just being himself on a talk show and/or chat show.
Thank you, thank you, thank you Kevin! For announcing the ads yourself and not loading up the screen with cheese. Just for that, I will on my own volition check out your sponsors. You sir, possess the lost art of mojo.
cards against humanity is sold out
I thought Road To Perdition was a great film. One scene I loved was when Michael is talking to his oldest son and his son asked if he wished it was him that was dead instead of his little brother. Michael says, "He was different than you. He was so sweet. You were like me. I loved you both differently". I am sure this conversation happens in ordinary life. Kids wonder if a parent loves another child more than them.
One of my favorite films ever. Pure art. “He dotes on you”; “You don’t see it” my god it’s wonderful.
Read the comic. It's good also
it looked like Hanks didn't even wanna end the show. Should have him back. for 5 hours. maybe 12.
+Mike Boland Their chemistry is off the charts, I could listen to them talk for 12 hrs as well!
+Mike Boland lol you dumbass; hanks mentions himself multiple times its just for publicity
Xx
An actor of Hanks's stature doesn't have to subject himself to a two hour plus interview to publicize his latest production. Ten minutes on the Tonight Show and the other TV interview shows will generate far more publicity than this show does. It appears to me that these two guys have some history, like each other, and that Hanks was having a lot of fun here.
Tom Hanks is the nicest person I never met.
+geese man I see your point but i find the videos with the most views are sometimes the worst, for instance I sometimes find let's play videos funny and so I thought i would check out that pewdeepie guy and oh my god this man had zero charisma was not funny in the slightest and in the nicest way possible a complete fucking moron and to this day I have no idea why so many millions watch his video's
+Reb Brown ....couldn't agree about the soulless idiots like pewdeepie. I think that's who Marc Maron was parodying in a recent episode of his TV show. I'm a young person who looks at my generation with alarm and disgust when surveying what's most popular.
FungusMossGnosis I really cant get on board with this trend of self-hating millenials. The problem with your premise is that you tie the value of our generation to youtube views and current pop culture. Meanwhile, we're the most diverse, educated, and technologically-savvy generation yet. The future is exciting, not depressing.
+FungusMossGnosis +Kevin Hagler i find agreement with both of your statements, but will expound later...at the moment i am quite sleepy.
you haven't met me
Damn he didn't waste any time getting to Tom Hanks. Great interview.
Kevin, you have the absolute BEST chat show, hands down. Used to watch you live. Thrilled you are on TH-cam. Keep chatting! PS, loved you on Mom. Sorry it had to end.
You know if Tom Hanks hadn't have become an actor, he would've made one hell of a teacher.
His Hardcore History - Addendum episode was great.
I sat through that for over two hours . . . and it was freak'n awesome. Thanks Kev.
great interview Kevin.
How has it taken me this long to discover this show. Fantastic! Of course I did choose this Tom Hanks episode for my first one soooo the other episodes have a very tough act to follow. Subscribed.
Watched this four times. Superb.
i love how he also talks to the supporting people there. Sam and the girl (I don't know what her name is) its a conversation where he engages everyone, not just Pollak.
Wow. looked through the other guests and clearly Hanks is doing Kevin a big favor here.
Oooh, they don't meet your fame-gazing standards, eh, Mr. potato?
One of the best interviews I’ve ever seen - could anyone beat Tom Hanks? I don’t think so.
That Thing You Do! is one of my favorite Go To Movies when I need to cheer up---and to keep it in the Hanks family, my other Go To Movie is Mamma Mia. But I am a huge fan of Apollo 13, because the real event occurred on my birthday and the nail-biting tension we watched in Real Time during the Real Event, well I must have seen Apollo 13 a dozen times or more, and EACH TIME I watch it, I STILL feel that nail-biting tension. THAT is GOOD FILM MAKING!!! Congrats to Ron Howard for that. But man, your From The Earth to the Moon is one of my all time favorite mini-series. Very well done, Tom. I know that if Tom Hanks is in the film, I will be entertained. But I have to say I thought the accent you used in ELVIS ruined your performance as Col. Parker. I'm a theater trained child actor myself, specializing in accents. But then I grew up in South Florida where one hears many accents growing up. Otherwise, it was spot on. I do have a question, though. With your experience working with young actors, do you stay in touch with them to help them navigate first time fame? I am a member of A Minor Consideration and we offer support and resources to former and current child actors struggling with the wake of their careers, so that is what motivates my question, because Austin Butler's manager contacted me to put him in touch with Paul Petersen, our founder/president emeritus.
I was lucky to be living in Los Angeles during that golden era of stand up and went to clubs at least once a week and saw SOOOOO many good comics, somehow I never saw Kevin live. Really miss that time
Fireball XL-5, Star Trek, Apollo 13, "thought behind the eyes", "man of bitter compromise", singing Holly Jolly Xmas... so many reasons i love that man.
happiness is telling the truth.
Amazing interview. Kevin, you rocked it again.
Leo Decaprio was AMAZING in Django. Earned all my respect for that depiction.
Same
That was the most fun I've had in a long time with my pants on. Tom is hilarious, down to earth and clever.
this is a great interview, i like that its long and interesting , yes typing class
was a god send
I never knew Tom Hanks was this funny. He’s insanely nice and he’s HILARIOUS!
49:49 R.I.P. Peter Scolari
Tom Hanks is my absolute favorite human on the planet, but even if he wasn't, I have to admit- he is seriously freaking funny. He could probably do improv if he wasn't acting.
Didn't take long before Tom reached for that beer lol
Thank you, Tom.
Subscribed. This interview was more entertaining than most movies I've seen. Other than Tom Hanks movies, of course. ;)
Great interview. Thank you. Need to find Bosom Buddies...
Just discovered this show! I don't know why it took me so long 😮
Kevin, I never knew you did excellent impersonations! Bing Crosby and Chris Walken!!! Perfect.
He's been doing them since the 80s
Outstanding. Will there ever be a Tom Hanks memoir?
Thanks for not splitting videos . cheers.
He's such a natural actor, he rattles off these funny lines but seems so believable just rattling them off. Hanks is a great guy.
Splash, Big, The Money Pit, all of those pictures made in the 1980's are loved dearly. Thank You Tom. Thank You Actors and Comedians. And hey what's wrong with old yeller posters? Love old Walt Disney pictures and animated features or cartoons. #UncleWalt
Tom hanks is an excellent actor Perfect Forever Fantastic ❤️💯❤️💯❤️
@tomhanks
#TomHanks
I didn't know Hanks what this lively. Interesting.
Late to the party (just found Chat)... Pollack you're a genius great show/idea. Much success to you.
Thank you!! This was great!!
wow when I found this I thought it was an old interview but this is just a month ago! THANKS
Great show. Keep up the good work Pollak and gang.
