Tom Hanks, known by many as America’s Dad, has been a major force at the box office for decades now. Late last year, the longtime star proved just how bankable he can be with the Sony dramedy A Man Called Otto.

A Man Called Otto went on to gross more than $109 million at the global box office, more than doubling its production budget.
