These days, Tom Hanks is one of Hollywood’s most known stars, but like most actors, the beginning of his acting career was full of ups and downs until he made a name for himself. Starting his career in 1979 in New York City, Hanks played in a low-budget film. Up to 1988, Hanks played in various movies and made appearances on TV shows but never made it big. That is until he starred in his first successful role in the movie Big which launched him into stardom. As time went on, he continued to develop his acting career with little success. Once he starred in the movie A League of Their Own, his status rose back up again and got his career back on track. From then on he had some more famous releases such as Forrest Gump, Toy Story, and You’ve Got Mail.
