When looking for the performer to carry the title of the hardest working man in show business, Tom Hanks could be a viable candidate. A pair of trailers for upcoming films starring two-time Oscar winner display Hanks' versatility as an actor and his willingness to take on off-beat roles.
A Wooden Boy: Hanks plays Gepetto, the kindly old Italian woodcarver, in the Walt Disney Co.'s (NYSE:DIS) new live-action version of its 1940 animated masterwork "Pinocchio." Hanks is seen wearing an unruly white wig and heavy white mustache, and he kicks off the film's story by making a twilight wish on a star that brings about the Blue Fairy (played by Cynthia Ervio).
