With a career spanning decades, Tom Hanks has embodied more unforgettable characters than most actors have roles.This episode brings back Tom’s inspiring conversation with Guy Raz from 2023, where he shares his journey through film—from early breakout roles to timeless classics—and his process of breathing life into each character.You’ll also learn how Tom deals with nerves and self-consciousness on set; what Joe DiMaggio and Paul Newman told him about performance anxiety; and why he believes ‘bringing an idea’ is the secret to success.Links from the show:<ul><li>Tom and Peter Scolari in <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-MaBkqzR1k" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Bosom Buddies</a></li><li>Tom and Daryl Hannah in <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PYwqSjfiS7s" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Splash</a></li><li>The cross-country <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QgnJ8GpsBG8" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">running scene</a> from Forrest Gump</li><li>The <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CmxArNBJHFQ" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">execution scene</a> from The Green Mile</li><li>Tom as Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger in Sullly: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJ5ZLdJDBrg" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">plane crash in the Hudson</a> scene</li><li>Tom as Colonel Tom Parker in <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQlHwS-arpw&t=76s" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Baz Luhrmann's Elvis</a></li><li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Djd2bmm6nWE" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The real Colonel Tom Parker in an interview on ABC&nbsp;</a></li><li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eFYUX9l-m5I" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Trailer</a> for A Man Called Otto</li></ul>For more conversations like this – with guests ranging from Jason Sudeikis to Anna Kendrick to Ben Gibbard of Death Cab for Cutie – go to <a href="https://www.thegreatcreators.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.thegreatcreators.com</a>.See Privacy Policy at <a href="https://art19.com/privacy" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://art19.com/privacy</a> and California Privacy Notice at <a href="https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info</a>.
