Like many a "Biography" episode, this is gushy. Tom Hanks is interviewed for the work and perhaps he insisted on that. They never mentioned that he came off like a sore loser when Russell Crowe's film beat "Castaway." It says nothing about how his wife's pilot "My Big Fat Greek Life" never soared. It says nothing on how he has been filmed barely clothed but never nude, unlike most famous actors.

Tom's high school drama teacher is interviewed. He doesn't say anything about an important aspect of his identity, yet Tom brought it up when accepting the award for "Philadelphia" and the fact was spun into the film "In & Out."
