Writer's Block: My name's Forrest, Forrest Gump

I have never enjoyed Tom Hanks performances. Every role he plays, it seems to be Tom Hanks saying the words of a different person while still being Tom Hanks. There is one movie of his I have not seen (and will not see because the subject matter is painful for me) which friends have said include actual acting by Mr. Hanks: Philadelphia. His winning an Oscar for it, I suspect, was not for actual acting but for playing the lead in a groundbreaking, highly controversial film.

You inspired me to comment on this one. My selection was for the role I've always seen him in that he's never played. Don't you think he'd be perfect as The Great Gazoo?
