Whether he's playing a toy cowboy, a stranded FedEx worker, or a child in an adult's body, Tom Hanks has long been one of the most reliable actors in the industry. When was the last time you heard anyone say anything against him? He possesses an inherently lovable screen presence, and can switch from portraying a drunken baseball coach ("A League of Their Own") to Mr. Rogers ("A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood") without blinking. As the window to becoming a traditional movie star closes each day, Hanks continues to hold onto his star power. His latest film, "A Man Called Otto," which is itself the second screen adaptation of Fredrik Bachman's 2012 novel "A Man Called Ove," shows the actor successfully tapping into his inner grump.
While promoting the film on the Great Creators with Guy Raz podcast, Hanks waded into the conversation about how an actor sees their performance.

As the host of the popular business podcast How I Built This, Guy Raz is used to having hours-long interviews with CEOs and entrepreneurs, coaxing out stories of the failures and successes that made his guests into the business heavyweights they are today.
