Hanks: 'My Time Is Numbered'

Tom Hanks is convinced his movie career is about to end, because he has survived too long on luck alone.

The Forest Gump star has sustained a successful and prolific movie career for more than two decades now, while many co-stars and contemporaries have fallen on the Tinseltown scrapheap.

But the double Oscar winner fears his luck could soon run out. Hanks says, "I look around and know that I am going to pay for it, big time.

"The knives will be out one day. There are quite a few people no longer getting hired who were big stars as recently as 10 years ago.

"So I've already overstayed my welcome. Someone is going to turn round and say, 'See - you are not such a smarty-pants after all, are you?' And although I know that many actors say they've had luck, I've had more than my share. I've had it by the bucketload."

Fine by me.

Maybe he'll sign on for Cast Away II and spend 75 minutes
talking to another object with a face drawn on it.

I agree! I've liked him since his Bosom Buddies days...that said I still think Castaway was a dumb movie

Well, if Tom's career is almost over then why doesn't he commit to Toy Story 3 already? My kids are driving me nuts for the damn thing!

Ya hear me, Tom? Just do the damn thing! Geez.

He's filming the Da Vinci Code which should be a blockbuster. I tried to read the book but couldn't get into it althought I loved Dan Browns Angels & Demons. He does make some good choices and I don't think he really looks for the blockbuster type movies that other Stars insist on doing.

And yes, I would like for TS3 to hurry up and come out as well. But I'm sure that Disney would wind up doing it and they'll screw it all to hell. Love Pixar.

There's a Toy Store 3? What is possibly left for those toys to do? And, does this mean that I will have to buy yet another Buzz Lightyear? I feel a panic coming on....

I like Mr. Hanks. He's a nice man, humble, kinda dorky, funny man. I'm sure he's just being paranoid because, really, it's hard to find an actor in Hollywood who's not only talented but also has the work ethic and personality to match.
