Talent free Hanks is not at all humble. Mister nice guy my ass.

I don't buy that Tom Hanks is as nice as reported. You don't get a Chet Hanks out of nowhere. Something went wrong. It's too bad since I love him as an actor and I want to believe the facade, and yet...
Henry Winkler seems like one of the true nice guys. He kept a career going after Happy Days, good for him.

Never heard a bad word about Henry. Hanks, on the other hand.......

Say what you will about Hanks, but he's kept mum about this while Henry has seemingly dwelled on it repeatedly, and his story seems to shift.

I'm in agreement with R6.
I've never heard anything negative about Henry Winkler. Tom Hanks, on the other hand...

"Turner & Hooch" was filmed thirty-five years ago.
It's really hard to care about a feud that old. Let it go, Henry.

Tom Hanks is a pompous cunt who stars in the most vanilla, middle of the road movies possible.

Tom Hanks is self entitled prick and his wife is a mean cunt. Typical Hollywood couple.

Team Winkler. Decades ago I saw him and happy days people at a UCLA Extension Class about comedy .
At the height of his fame, you would never know it by how normal and down to earth he was . Tom Hicks is insufferable

I've heard Hanks is an asshole. Never heard that about Winkler.

Tom screaming at some poor fan because his wife almost got "knocked over". Meanwhile, she barely tripped and the fan he's yelling at didn't do anything.
Asshole.

I have been working in film/tv for nigh 25 years. I've only heard great things about Winkle, from lowly PAs to producersr. Tom- I haven't heard much, negative or postive.

Told this before but spent quite a bit of time with and around Tom when he on Broadway in Lucky Guy. He was a nice regular guy. Maybe being away from Hollywood has an effect? One Friday night he just hung out with me and two friends at Sardis until it got late and he had to go home. He had two shows on Saturday. Go figure.

I'm watching a 3rd season SVU episode with Winkler as a bad guy. He plays creepy very well.

Henry could have played Mr. Rogers too.

He was GREAT in that episode, R21!! But the moment you saw his name in the opening credits, you just knew he was going to be the baddie -- because they loved the against-type thing (and a big name) on SVU. That's also how I knew (instantly) that Jaclyn Smith was going to be the murderer in the episode in which she guest-starred. I love that stuff.

I read the article and I don’t understand - Hanks was jealous some rando knew Fonzie? Or that Fonzie made a point to introduce him to her?

How petty. But we’ve heard too much about Hanks to believe he’s really a nice guy. And he’s a nepo enabler. I don’t think Henry has any kids in the biz.

His son, Max, is a screenwriter & director. His daughter, Zoe, studied early-education, taught Pre-K, and now runs a non-profit called This is About Humanity -- which assists children/families separated at the border.

Jim Parsons would have won an Oscar if he’d played Mr. Rogers instead of Hanks.

Saw him years ago in Central Park trying to disguise himself - thick black rimmed glasses, heavy beard, faded jeans, well worn plaid flannel shirt, big parka. But some tourists recognized him and he was extremely nice to them. The husband took photo of Hanks with his wife, then the wife took photo of husband with Hanks, then Hanks grabbed the camera from them, had them stand together and took a photo of them , the handed the camera back to them. They said “Thank you, we love you,” and he said, “No, thank [italic] you [/italic]
He seemed like a regular guy, joking around with them. I thought it was very nice of him to do that.

I'm still not understanding why they have a beef between them. I'm actually a big fan of both Hanks and Winkler.
A lot of fond memories of Hanks as Buffy in Bosom Buddies. That was and still is a fun show.

I just read Winkler’s book and I didn’t get the sense that he hated Hanks. He was mad at himself for not trusting his gut feelings and taking on a different movie instead. (I can’t remember the other movie, but it wasn’t as big a project).
