Tom Hanks: My Year That Was

Actor took some time off for family during 1997

''I make a comfortable living at it, but I can't say I live and die by the entertainment industry. I've been home a lot. I was pretty much with my family all year long. Even though I worked [on Saving Private Ryan and HBO's From the Earth to the Moon], I had my family with me the whole time. That's the most memorable thing about 1997 because we are still in our child-rearing years. And to not miss out on big chunks of my kids' lives for the first time was really nice.''
