NEW YORK (AP) -- The Film Society of Lincoln
Center will honor Tom Hanks in its annual gala tribute, citing the
actor's talent of making "a good man compelling."
The
two-time Academy Award winner will be feted April 27 at Alice Tully
Hall, which is being renovated but scheduled to reopen Feb. 22. It will
be the society's 36th annual gala, following last year's celebration of
Meryl Streep.
"There are so few actors who
have been able to make the struggle and drama of being a good man
compelling," Kent Jones, the society's associate director of
programming, said Monday. "With his talent, his presence, his
versatility, his sense of humor, he has set a very high standard for
his fellow actors."
The 52-year-old Hanks won best-actor Oscars for 1993's "Philadelphia" and 1994's "Forrest Gump."
