Tom Hanks

Thomas Jeffrey "Tom" Hanks (born July 9, 1956) is an American actor, producer, writer and director. Hanks worked in television and family-friendly comedies before achieving success as a dramatic actor with roles in Philadelphia, Forrest Gump, Apollo 13, Saving Private Ryan, Cast Away and Sheriff Woody in Disney·Pixar's Toy Story. Hanks won consecutive Best Actor Academy Awards, in 1993 for Philadelphia and in 1994 for Forrest Gump.

Hanks is seen in his role as Beckett in Philadelphia which Peter Griffin watches in the movie theater in "Death Has a Shadow". Peter can't figure out who he is at first.

He also appears in his Philadelphia role with E.T. in "Long John Peter". E.T. doesn't want to touch him in fear of getting AIDS.

At the Quahog Cinema in "Friends of Peter G", Peter plays movie trivia, incorrectly guessing Tom Hanks as "Tim Honks". When the answer is revealed, a non-animated headshot of Hanks is seen with it.

Stewie compares Tom Hanks' creation of Wilson in Cast Away to Peter creating a doll of Edna Garrett in "Bigfat".

In "Married...With Cancer", Jess, who has cancer, mentions liking most films by Tom Hanks except Terminal.

In "The Lois Quagmire", Quagmire claims the actions of Sully Sullenberger in landing on the Hudson after a bird strike. None of Lois' High School Classmates pick up on the reference, nor have they seen the Tom Hanks film of the events.

Brian tries to remember the guy in the Tom Hanks film That Thing You do in "Lawyer Guy', believing it to be Bachmann Todd. Before passing out from diving too deep, Stewie writes down that the name Brian is looking for is Tom Everett Scott.

In the Castaway story from "Love Story Guy", Quagmire claims that he didn't change up the story in order for Tom to let him parody Castaway.
