Mr. Rogers FIRST LOOK: Tom Hanks dramatic transformation as Fred Rogers will melt your heart
Whether it's his portrayal of Walt Disney in 2013's 'Saving Mr. Banks' or a gritty American hero in 'Sully', Tom Hanks has never failed when it comes to breathing life into biopics. His next project, however, is extra special. Donning a familiar bright red sweater and a neatly-combed hair - a look reminiscent of beloved TV host Fred Rogers - Hanks is the star of an upcoming movie about Mr. Rogers.
Most people would remember Rogers from his early days as the host of long-running children's series, 'Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood (that ran from 1968 to 2001). During his primetime on television, the TV personality was not only a loved face but also was known for his acts of kindness and the message of empathy that he expressed through his many shows and appearances.
