Actor and filmmaker Tom Hanks proves again he excels at taking directions. Hank wielded oversized scissors Tuesday and, on a count of three, he led a ribbon-cutting ceremony for a newly renovated motion pictures center named for him at Wright State University in Ohio. Hanks said that when he was a teenager, he couldn't have gotten into the university. The Oscar-winning star isn't an alumnus, but has connections with teachers and alumni of the public school. He is national co-chair of a fundraising campaign for the university and planned to attend a fundraising gala and talk with theater, dance and motion picture students during his Tuesday visit.
