Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Shelley Long co-starred with Hanks in which of these movies?

Answer: The Money Pit

It must have seemed a "common sense" pairing: two actors who both had their first "big breaks" in tv sitcoms. (Long starred in "Cheers", Hanks starred in "Bosom Buddies".)
2. A rare misfire for Hanks was "Bonfire of the Vanities". Who wrote the novel?

Answer: Tom Wolfe

Popular writer Tom Wolfe wrote a popular novel ... but the critics hated the movie and it died at the box office.
3. Hanks starred with a legendary comedian in "Nothing in Common". Who was this star?

Answer: Jackie Gleason

Gleason was a star from the old days; Hanks was a rising star from the new days.
4. Hanks (and Robert Loggia) performed an interesting musical number in "Big" by dancing on what musical instrument?

Answer: Piano Keyboard

This seems to be one of Tom's most popular movies.
5. Who co-starred with Hanks in "Punchline"?

Answer: Sally Field

This seems like a natural pairing: the boy next door meets Gidget.
6. Hanks got his first big movie role in "Splash". Who directed the film?

Answer: Ron Howard

Daryl Hannah starred as the mermaid.
7. The always solid Ed Harris co-starred with Hanks in which of these movies?

Answer: Apollo 13

Harris isn't one of the astronauts in space with Hanks; he's on the ground, trying to bring the crew home safely. This should have won the Oscar for best movie. ("Braveheart" won.)
8. In "Road to Perdition", Tom's son witnesses a grisly murder. How does this come about?

Answer: The boy stows away in a car with Tom

It's unusual to see Tom (and co-star Paul Newman) in somewhat villainous roles. Be that as it may, it was an enjoyable movie.
9. Which of these movies does NOT include frequent co-star Meg Ryan?

Answer: A League of Their Own

There's no Meg in "League". (And, "there's no crying in baseball!")
10. What role did Hanks have in "Catch Me If You Can"?

Answer: Lawman

Hanks pursues Dicaprio in this easy-to-watch movie.
