It seems that "Mister Rogers" has been a touching role for the two-time Academy Award winner.

In the video, the woman couldn't recognize Hanks during a category question in which a scene from his latest film "A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood" was played.

In his latest movie, Hanks appears as "Mister Rogers," one of the most adorable figures in the history of American pop culture, and a role he admitted being "terrifying" to play. He said:

“There’s no such thing as an easy role to do. The moment I said ‘yes,’ I began to have the night sweats.”

Rogers was famous for his charm and ability to connect with people with all backgrounds, and his show "Mister Roger’s Neighborhood" aired for 33 years.
