Coming to America 25 years back I did not know of this Tom Hanks.
As it happened my introduction to this great actor was watching a Bob Zemeckis directed film called 'Forrest Gump'. And it clicked. It went on to win the Academy award for best picture and so on but I was introduced to a prolific character actor.
Much like Forrest I consider myself somewhat dimwitted in many matters but am never one to back down form a challenge.
The 'life is like a box of chocolates, you're never sure what you're gonna get' line resonates with me except it also takes the form of people I meet, or the kimchi I get or the donut that may or may not exist when I walk upto the checkout counter.
One of my favorite things... a sweet elixir from Hungary..the puttonyos or sweetness is what you want to watch. My favorite is a six. At the local warehouse store that I shop I sometimes am surprised to find this dessert wine and I grab a couple.
Hanks went on to be felicitated with the Kennedy Center Honors and recently the Cecil B DeMille awards. Well deserved.
