I have to say yes, and it is mainly because of his range to play any role

GOAT actor is kinda subjective, but Hanks is definitely in the discussion and nobody can really disagree with it.

Hes Good Not Great...His Likable Personality Translates Well On Screen But There Are No Performances That Really Blew Me Away...Forest Gump Came Close

Dog Forest Gump is one of the best one man shows in cinema history, a movie about nothing and he made it into a classic.
In castaway he almost turned a vollyball into a best supporting actor and you telling me he didn't blow you away. I guess you have not seen Saving Private Ryan or Road to Perdition or Philadelphia.
Please give me somebody better ? -

Robert is nice and has alot of range but he can't make a romantic comedy classic like sleepless in Seattle, Robert couldn't have played the role Tom did in Green mile and no sure anybody could have turned Forest Gump into what it was -

Bobby cannot pull of comedy at all...untouchable in Dramas and action...but comedy or romance....nope. -

Since When Is Forest Gump A One Man Show? Sally Field And Gary Sinise Turned In Equally Impressive Roles And His Mother And Lt.Dan....And No Talking To A Wilson Volleyball For 90 Minutes Doesnt Make You A GOAT Either...Ive Seen All His Movies....Even The Cheesy 80's Comedies Like BIG ....Hes A Good Solid Actor But Nothing Hes Done Is Been On Par With Laurence Of Arabia, Alex DeLarge, Travis Bickle, Citizen Kane Or Even A Randle McMurphy....
Robert DeNiro
Jack Nicholson
AL Pacino
Gene Hackman
And Even Newer Cats Like
Javier Bardem
Daniel Day Lewis
Denzel Washington

Most Serious Actors Tend To Stay Away From Romantic Comedies....And Yes Bobby Has Done Comedies Like Meet The Parents And Analyze This Playing The Straight Man Which And Was Equally Funny To Ben Stiller And Billy Crystal.. -
Don't get me wrong, Forrest Gump is one of the most entertaining movies I've seen in my life, but the simplicity of Forrest Gump the character really doesn't display the skill of Tom Hanks. Think about it, Forrest Gump was a simple man, slightly slow, and that was it.
A movie like Philadelphia showcased great talent, in my opinion. -
Before ? start talkin all reckless about Tom Hanks.....just know he's the highest grossing actor EVER. His movies total $3.639 Billion with an average of $107 Million per film. He obviously did something right.
And anybody frontin on Forest Gump is a loser. Black, White, Asian, Indian....you love that ? , that's an American classic -

I think Hanks is a cool actor but a tad corny and he's fallen off big time -
-
No one is "frontin" on anything.
He's a great actor but the greatest?
And what does making a lot of money have to do with anything.
He has the ability to connect with people and people like his movie.
True....true.... -

Thanks Fam Somebody Had To Say Something....And Yes DDL Is A Muthafuckin Monster -
Robert Deniro is better than Hanks
Few Actors Can Disasppear Into A Role Like Deniro Hes One Of Only A Handful That Stops Acting And Becomes The Character -

In terms of completely becoming the character I would have to take DDL over Bobby D. Dude literally transforms himself into the role (Bill Cutting)...its hard to differentiate him from the character. -

Jack LaMotta, Travis Bickle >>> Bill The Butcher, Daniel Plainview...But DDL Is One Of The Handful Of Actors I Was Referring To That Can Totally Become The Character...Unlike Tom Hanks -

Opinions Are Like ? ....You Know The Rest -
Deniro used to be the GOAT to me but he's fallen off big time, he will always be capable of giving a0 GOAT performance though.
Tom Hanks is great to me but I've never considered him great. But now that I think about he's been in alot of movie where just his performance alone had carried the movie. Forrest Gump and Castaway. I mean Tom Hanks are almost in every scene start to finish and he's great in those films. Also Road to Perdition and Private Ryan are great. Toy Story...the man has an impressive resume -

I Wouldnt Say He Fell Off But His Role Selection Since The 80's With The Exception of A Few Has Been Lousy...It's A Well Known Secret That He Took On Alot Roles For The Paycheck To Pay For The TrIbEcA Film Festival And His Developments In Manhattan -
TOM HANKS not the GOAT.... also the more i think of Robert de niro's choices maybe he is just having fun with his films right now....he has put in enough good work already.
