Tom Hanks: Walt Disney (Saving Mr. Banks)
When it comes to portraying a figure as prominent as Walt Disney, even a superstar like Tom Hanks has to think multiple times before accepting the role. It happened when a movie narrating the story of Mary Poppins’ making was being made in 2013.
As the world-known animator had promised his daughters, he wanted to make the film but had to convince P. L. Travers, who was the creator of the story. Ultimately, the actor accepted the part and it turned out that he never needed to worry as once again he just proved that no acting challenge is big enough for him to handle.
