And once again, Tom Hanks has won the hearts of Americans. The veteran actor was named America's favorite movie star in a new Harris Poll. Hanks came in ahead of Johnny Depp and Denzel Washington, last year's top choice. It's the fifth time that Hanks, best known for his sympathetic roles in movies like "Forrest Gump," "Big" and "Cast Away," has topped the poll since 1994. Although he's been dead since 1979, John Wayne landed fourth on the list, followed by Harrison Ford, stalwart of the "Star Wars" and "Indiana Jones" movies.
