He's basically the same dude put into various situations.
This affects most leads to a large degree, because they're being paid to be themselves molded into the role - of course this excepts the malleable guys like Pacino, Deniro, Hoffman and character guys asked to do lead roles (usually easier for them) like Spacy or PSH (RIP).
But, Hanks has a lot of range when you go back to the beginning - he's perfect in Bachelor Party, Splash!, even Money Pit - then also shows what he can do in things like Philadelphia, Green Mile, Forrest Gump - and even when he plays "himself" - SPR, Apollo 13 - he devotes a lot of effort to making himself look and sound right for period.
Dude may not be Olivier - I get that. I might even agree he's a little overrated, but he's also one of the best acting leads of the past 30 years.
So there's all of that.
