That could be said of about anyone. And the films you mentioned are over 30 years old. Hardly anyone in Hollywood has more quality films than Tom Hanks.
Leo hasn't done anything that brought renewed recognition and honor to the generation that fought WW2, and Hanks did it multiple times (Saving Private Ryan, Band of Brothers). There is deep cultural value in what Hanks has done that kind of makes bringing up other projects as if they could possibly tarnish that... It suggests a mental defect, imo.
I'm not sure. My initial reaction was "no," but I am not sure. Daniel Day Lewis is pretty damn good at being really different people.
