Not long after 'The Pacific,' I began shooting the comedy 'Larry Crowne,' which was also with Tom Hanks, who also directed and plays the title character.

Of course I would never compare myself to someone who actually went through a war, but I definitely matured shooting 'The Pacific.' I'm more calm and I have more patience.

I don't really have aspirations to be Tom Hanks.

Tom Hanks knows the name of all the episodes.

I did get Tom Hanks to say, Life is just a box of chocolates.

Tom Hanks has built his career playing ordinary men.
