Hanks made his debut as a director and screenwriter in the 1996 musical comedy That Thing You Do![9] Later in the same year, he founded with Gary Goetzman, his own film and television production company called Playtone.[10] In 1998, Hanks executive produced the Emmy Award-winning docudrama miniseries From the Earth to the Moon and starred in Steven Spielberg-directed epic war film, Saving Private Ryan, which earned him his fourth nomination for Best Actor at the Academy Awards.[11][12] Later that year, he reunited with Meg Ryan in another Ephron directed-romantic comedy, You've Got Mail. He also reprised his role in Toy Story, for its sequel, Toy Story 2. In 2000, Hanks starred in Cast Away, which earned him a Golden Globe Award for Best Actor – Motion Picture Drama and a fifth nomination for Academy Award for Best Actor.[13][14] In 2001, he executive produced Emmy Award-winning World War II mini-series Band of Brothers and the romantic comedy, My Big Fat Greek Wedding.[15] The following year at the age of 45, he became the youngest person to receive the lifetime achievement award from the American Film Institute.[16] This was followed in 2004, by BAFTA Los Angeles awarding him the Stanley Kubrick Britannia Award for Excellence in Film.[4]
In 2006, he played Professor Robert Langdon in the Howard-directed adaptation of the best-selling book of the same name, The Da Vinci Code. Two years later he executive produced musical comedy Mamma Mia (2008) and Emmy Award-winning mini-series John Adams (2008).[17] In 2010, he reprised his role in Toy Story in its second sequel, Toy Story 3 and also executive produced the Emmy Award-winning mini-series The Pacific.[18] He made a return in 2011 to directing in the romantic comedy Larry Crowne.[19]The following year he starred in The Wachowskis-directed film adaptation of the novel of the same name Cloud Atlas (2012) and executive produced the Emmy Award-winning mini-series Game Change (2012).[20] Hanks made his Broadway debut in 2013 in Ephron's play, Lucky Guy, which earned him a nomination for the Tony Award for Best Actor in a Play. [21] In 2017, he played the titular character in the YouTube animated web-series The Musical World of Mr. Zoink.
