text: what character did tom hanks portray is your most favorite.?   paul edgecomb in green mile and of course, forrest gump; i also liked the character who gets stuck in the airport who's from another country.  (i can't remember the name of the movie or his character in it this afternoon.. another brain cell bites the dust!) i guess my favorite, though,  would be his role in apollo 13. that gave me cold chills!
