It is pretty established that Tom Hanks is probably the movie industry’s single largest asset. With a number of hits like ‘Forrest Gump’, ‘Saving Private Ryan’, ‘Philadelphia’, ‘Sleepless in Seattle’ and ‘Apollo 13’, and multiple Oscar nominations, the Oscar-winning actor has truly been everywhere. The actor, who is regarded as one of Hollywood’s greatest, has released his first movie in quite a while, playing a fired employee who joins junior college in the just-released ‘Larry Crowne’. The film which stars other big names like Julia Roberts, Cedric the Entertainer and Taraji P. Henson, is one of the more anticipated summer flicks. Taraji, in a recent interview, revealed that she signed up for a part in the movie before reading the script, only because Tom Hanks was in it. She said that Tom Hanks actually was looking for her, and she was so excited by the prospect of working with Hanks that she immediately said yes to any part. She also revealed that she would play “a tree or a rock” in a film if it had Tom Hanks in it. She also said that she had a wonderful time shooting the film with her friendly and lovable co-stars. Taraji P. Henson is a big star in her own right, having earned an Oscar nomination last year for her raved about role in ‘The Curious Case of Benjamin Button’ alongside megastar Brad Pitt.
