There was a great interview with him last Saturday on Weekend Edition. He was at the Great Lakes Theater Festival in Cleveland
where he got his start. A lively interview including lots of questions from students. Genuinely funny and worth a listen.

A funny quote from the interview -
"Doing Apollo 13, I got to walk around in really cool spaceman uniforms, you know, with patches on them and stuff like that,"
Hanks said. "I could swagger a little bit. And I think I probably came home and was acting like Jim Lovell a little bit too often.
I was told in no unqualified terms to knock it off."
: -)
Also - his appearance on "Wait Wait" http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story...Id=5402390
