Tom Hanks as a "strongest actor on the surface of the earth", by the United States called people "the father of the American spirit", his strength is very strong, awards, box office, acting, star power, work circulation, national degree are very high. He has been recognized as one of the most powerful actors in the world, with awards, box office, acting, stardom, popularity, and national popularity. Not only has he won two Oscars, but in this year's latest news, he will receive the Golden Globe Lifetime Achievement Award. But compared to Cruise, Cruise is more of an idol star, his commercial reputation and flow guarantee is really high, but his award, and his work movie review reputation, or with Hanks there is a certain gap. Tom Hanks, the national movie star, many of his works are familiar with the classic, such as we are very familiar with the "Forrest Gump", "The Da Vinci Code" and so on. Like now there are some works good, but the box office can not, some box office is good, but the awards and can not, but there are awards good, the national popularity and not high. But Tom Hanks is the complete opposite, his work inside the collection of these all in one, by the American national pursuit.

Not only that, but he himself also belongs to his own production company , his company's production of American drama can be said to be the rate of excellence 100%, which there are some of us are more familiar with "Brothers in Arms", "War in the Pacific", so he is also on the United States of America in terms of film and television industry has contributed greatly.

However about Tom Cruise, he is also very good. He is younger than Tom Hanks, but red earlier than him, is the debut and peak. In terms of box office, Tom Cruise's peak numbers are stronger, but in terms of an entire career, Tom Hanks is more solid. That's the gap between the two.
