The actor has worked with acclaimed directors such as Steven Spielberg, Clint Eastwood, Robert Zemeckis, and more in his extensive filmography. He even won the Oscar twice in a row for his performances inPhiladelphiaandForrest Gump.
Having established himself as a legendary actor in Hollywood history, Hanks has extensive knowledge in performing and even gave a small exercise for this generation’s most beloved ‘Tom’, Tom Holland. TheSpider-Man: Homecomingstar was given an exercise that tested his skills by the veteran actor while onThe Graham Norton Show.

The actor has since worked on several acclaimed films such asThe Terminal, Saving Private Ryan,theToy Storyfranchise, andCaptain Philips.
Hence, it was no surprise that he could immediately spew wisdom to the new generation of actors and test them on their skills when he made an appearance onThe Graham Norton Show. Talking about voice acting, Hanks took the help of MCU star Tom Holland to perform an acting exercise live on the show.
I think they are gleeful in making you ring every possible meaning from a line. Where you have a very simple cue and a very simple line. And the cue might be, ‘Would you like some more coffee?’ And the line you have to say is, ‘Coffee, you think I want more coffee? Boy, do I need more coffee?’
WhileSpider-Man: No Way HomestarTom Hollandtook a second to get into the zone, Hanks and Holland made a great duo bouncing off of each other while repeating the same lines. Holland seemed to be tired by the end of the exercise, jokingly asking Tom Hanks to stop.

Hanks played Woody for all four films of the franchise, withToy Story 3andToy Story 4even winning the Oscar for Best Animated Feature. The actor spoke about the sessions,
I have never begun a recording session without wishing it was already over. Because, understand, Woody is clenched all the time. He’s clenched. There’s something he’s gotta explain, or, ‘Come on, guys! Or ‘No, no, no, no, look out, look out, look out! This way, this way.’ It’s all that and you’re able to’t move, the microphone is right there, and you have to be like this.
The actor went on to demonstrate how he would perform without moving away from the microphone. He also went on to express his frustration with recording the grunts and sighs of the character, which would usually be scheduled at the end of the sessions. Hanks will be returning to the recording booth inToy Story 5.
