From Forrest Gump to Toy Story, Tom Hanks is one of the most beloved actors around, but is he the best? Obviously, but in case you need some evidence, here are some facts about the great thespian:
1. He is the second actor to win back-to-back Best Actor Oscars for his roles in 1993's "Philadelphia" and 1994's Forrest Gump. The first was Spencer Tracy for 1937's "Captains Courageous" and 1938's "Boys Town."
2. Hanks received the American Film Institute's Life Achievement Award in 2002, presented by Steven Spielberg. Hanks was the youngest ever to receive the award.
3. The asteroid "12818 tomhanks" was named after him when discovered in 1996.
4. Hanks is a third cousin, four generations removed, of former President Abraham Lincoln. Their common ancestor is John Hanks (1680 - 1740), who was the great-great-grandfather of Lincoln and the six-times great-grandfather of Tom Hanks.
5. He received the Distinguished Public Service Award, the U. S. Navy's highest civilian honor, on Veterans Day in 1999 for his work in the movie "Saving Private Ryan."
6. Tom Hanks was inducted as an honorary member of the U.S. Army's Ranger Hall of Fame back in 2006 for his accurate portrayal of a World War II army ranger in the movie "Saving Private Ryan."
7. Hanks was a member of the comedy group Monty Python for one night when filling in for John Cleese at The Concert For George, a tribute to Beatle George Harrison in 2002.
8. Between 1994 and 2004, Hanks was nominated for the most Academy Awards out of any actor, along with Sean Penn, Meryl Streep, Judi Dench, and Ed Harris. He was nominated for four and won two, also the most wins out of any.
9. Tom Hanks' movies have earned $8.4 billion dollars worldwide. This makes Tom the all-time movie champion of the movie box office.

Anyway, like I was sayin', shrimp is the fruit of the sea. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it. Dey's uh, shrimp-kabobs, shrimp creole, shrimp gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried. There's pineapple shrimp, lemon shrimp, coconut shrimp, pepper shrimp, shrimp soup, shrimp stew, shrimp salad, shrimp and potatoes, shrimp burger, shrimp sandwich. That- that's about it.

I love watching Tom Hanks movies. I'd say he's definitely in the top 3. Overall GOAT would just be preference. My favorite actor is Russell Crowe. I believe Denzel Washington is up there with Tom Hanks. Can't really name a terrible Leo movie.

He's great, but I don't think you can call him the GOAT. Daniel Day holds the record for most Best-Actor Oscars, if you're using that as a metric. But there are so many other things to measure, and a lot of it is subjective.
