i agree with that except for tom cruise he is fav actor. i like almost all charecters that done by Tom hanks. Now he became most popular actor in hollywood When it comes to ruling the roost in Hollywood, a new poll has found that no other actor pulls in the masses as much as Tom Hanks. The survey of 1,003 adults conducted from Nov. 27 to Nov. 29 by Gallup, found that 44 percent of movie goers will go out of the way to watch one of the ‘Forrest Gump’ star’s movies. Coming in right behind Hanks was movie great Robert De Niro with 33 percent of the votes, followed by ‘Pretty Woman’ Julia Roberts in third place with 29 percent of the votes, reports the New York Daily News. The fourth most popular stars in Hollywood are Will Smith and Sandra Bullock followed closely with 27 percent of the votes. The top five was rounded off by Mel Gibson in fifth place with 26 percent of the votes. As for the stars that movie-goers will go out of the way to avoid, well topping that list was actor Tom Cruise with 34 percent of the votes. Brad Pitt’s lady love Angelina Jolie may be considered one of the hottest women in Hollywood, but it seems that she won’t be drawing in the crowd, after coming in at the second spot with 18 percent of the votes. Mel Gibson found himself on this list too, for he came in hot on Jolie’s heels with 15 percent of the votes. The list top five most popular stars as per Gallup is: 1. Tom Hanks 2. Robert De Niro 3. Julia Roberts 4. Will Smith 4. Sandra Bullock 5. Mel Gibson The list for the top three least popular stars, as per Gallup is: 1. Tom Cruise 2. Angelina Jolie 3. Mel Gibson

I'm so glad that Tom Hanks got #1. He's such a great actor...and so down to earth!! :) He's awesome. Before he came famous, my dad who's an actor, worked with him about 30 years ago when he did his stuff in Cleveland. I'm pleased to see Will Smith on the list too. Haha, I'm glad that Angelina Jolie was one of the least. She's really getting on my nerves...I dunno. In my opinion, I think that she should help out kids in the United States too, because some are going through suffering as well.

I agree with that. Although I do think she is doing great stuff for the unserved African kids. I think it is not all altruistic, but an image booster as well. we all have our motives.

I think that Mel Gibson is a terrific actor and I think that it must be true since he was both on the most popular and least popular lists. A little bit of contrversy attracks a lot of movie goers I'm sure. Like with the Passion of the Christ movie. I bet a lot of people went to see it just because it was in the news so much, not necessarily because they believed the message of it.

Nice choice buddy i do agree stars like cruise and jolie are rather too outdated these days! they have become old and its rather a glitch that directors think they will do wonders on screen thats not the case though

When was this vote taken? (insert indignant hmf here) I didn't get to vote on that. Love Tom Hanks & Love Tom Cruise too. None of my business what either believes spiritually. They are both good human beings and wonderful actors.

Cruise and jolie are definitely my least favorite actors. Cruise is a complete moron and Jolie is just repulsive. Complete white trash, ugh. I wouldn'h have picked Tom Hanks for the top though, that's for sure.

well i definitely think tom hanks is a terrific actor, his list of movies is just mind boggling and to think he has won so many awards in his acting career. tom cruise is all about the looks, he doesnt really deliver personality wise.. he's good at making girls/women swoon for him LOL

I like Tom Hanks. Apart from the fact that he makes really good movies and is an excellent actor I like the way that his acting is what people know and talk about - Tom Cruise on the other hand is more talked about for his private life than his acting ability (which of course he does have) and Angelina Jolie is the same.
