Tom Hanks Mode 

The condition of your character in a video game (such as Rainbox 6 or Call of Duty) where your character is blinded and/or stunned by a flashbang. This causes you to:

1. See the world as if it's moving slowly
2. Hear a ringing in your ears
3. Have an image burned in your eyes
4. Have general disorientation and confusion

The phrase comes from Tom Hanks' role in Saving Private Ryan, in which his character is "stunned" by the battle (explosions, dead men, etc) during the invasion of Normandy in which he displays the above symptoms. In addition to calling this experiece "Tom Hanks Mode" you may also refer to this as "getting Tom Hanksed".

Gamer 1: Dude, you didn't back me up!
Gamer 2: Sorry, man. I was in Tom Hanks Mode.

Gamer 1: You're just standing there, shoot someone!
Gamer 2: I just got Tom Hanksed, give me a break!

Tom Hanks 

Arguably one of the best actor to ever see the face of the planet.

Starred in such films as BIG, Saving Private Ryan, Forrest Gump, Apollo 13, Road to perdition, Cast Away...

Born in California, Tom Hanks grew up in what he calls a 'fractured' family. His parents were pioneers in the development of marriage dissolution law in that state, and Tom moved around a lot, living with a succession of step-families. No problems, no abuse, no alcoholism, just a confused childhood. He had no acting experience in college, and in fact credits the fact that he couldn't get cast in a college play with actually starting his career - he went downtown, auditioned for a community theater play, was invited by the director of that play to go to Cleveland, and there his acting career started. He met his second wife, actress Rita Wilson on the set of the movie Volunteers (1985) - they have two children and Tom has another son and daughter by his first wife. In 1996 he made his first step behind the camera, directing as well as starring and writing the film That Thing You Do! (1996).

Tom Hanks 

The most talented actor ever to live. Not only is he a great actor but he is also very modest and sincere in real life. Some of his most well-received movies have been: Forrest Gump, Philadelphia, Cast Away, Toy Story, and Saving Private Ryan. Anyone who doesn't like his acting or think he is a bad actor does not know what they are talking about. He has been married to the same woman for the last 25 years which is amazing for someone that famous. I prefer him in the movie You've got mail.

Ignoramus: Tom Hanks is a sucky actor.

Intellectual: Why?

Ignoramus: He seems retarded.

Intellectual: Not many "retards" are actors whose movies have grossed over 3 billion dollars. Plus, even when he plays a "retard" in Forrest Gump he is still somewhat smart and loveable. :)

A Hot Tom Hanks 

Tom Hanks is undoubtedly the hottest during Forrest Gump When he has a long, sweaty beard after running. This beard can resemble a gross bush that females are often ashamed of and hide.

Friend: are you going to have sex with that hot guy who just bought you a drink?
Girl: no, I have A Hot Tom Hanks situation going on.
