He wasn’t a cartoon character or Oscar-winner Tom Hanks; he was my best friend, just like I dreamed of him being each time I watched Toy Story. With words provided by Nora Ephron and chemistry alongside Meg Ryan, as Sam Baldwin and Joe Fox, Hanks somehow grew more charming. The star of so many seminal films, it isn’t just that he’s good at what he does (and highly bankable at that), it’s that there’s an inimitable recipe to Being Tom Hanks.

His show filled me with positivity and optimism — much like when I watched Toy Story or Big or A League of Their Own.
