Tom Hanks
Whether playing the lone attorney willing to take on an AIDS discrimination case in Philadelphia Story …
Or a coach of a high school football team torn apart by racism in Remember the Titans …
Or the legendary South African freedom fighter, Steve Biko, in Cry Freedom …
Denzel Washington’s compellingly outspoken and powerful leadership roles has transcended race in a manner that puts him in the rarefied company of such iconic actors as Morgan Freeman and Sidney Poitier.

Notice how in this powerful scene Denzel Washington / Executive Officer Hunter as second in command to Gene Hackman / Captain Ramsey, while very polite at first, doesn’t back down.
This is the unique trait of those, like yourself [syt_user_name], who have great integrity and strength of character.
The very tricky part of having this Truth-Speaking Persona, as you likely have experienced, is using your ability to be direct without unnecessarily offending or alienating others. This is the major potential pitfall of your Persona.
Below, we’ll watch a scene played by a different actor portraying another iconic personality who shares this same straight-talking ability with you and Denzel Washington —
Let’s get started!
Your Tom Hanks Truth-Speaking Persona indicates, like some of the characters played by Hanks (such as his Oscar-Winning performance in Philadelphia Story where he is a young attorney fired from his law firm, fighting preconceptions and prejudice) you also have the tendency for these characteristics and behaviors, such as:
- Frustration and repressed anger from not being heard
- Difficulty handling someone who is self-centered (and possibly even narcissistic or abusive)
- Finding it challenging to stay quiet when you feel someone unfairly judging or belittling you, or putting you in a box
- Stress from women— and men, as well — often not respecting or listening to you
- A concern of stirring up the hornet’s nest and making certain situations worse than they already are
Your Tom Hanks Persona additionally indicates in your relationship you may …
- Desire to end frequent arguments
- Have a desire to have heart-to-heart conversations with your significant others rather than having to decide between “stuffing” your feelings or saying something you’ll later regret
- Have hidden concerns that your repressed frustration regarding your relationship may lead to emotional distancing … and even separation … and possibly even breaking up
Like so many other self employed men in a relationship, you likely wish to —
- Feel more respected, both from women and men
- Be better at creating healthy boundaries without having to be forceful
- Become more adept at smoothly delegating, and keeping your team on schedule and on task
- Be clearer, firmer and more effective when negotiating agreements
- Become more skilled at heading off conflicts
- Potentially even avert a lawsuit that’s looming before the situation gets totally out of hand
In a nutshell, you end up harboring a lot of repressed resentment, frustration and even anger …
Ironically, these problems stem from too often having to decide between either repressing your thoughts or offending someone.
This is because when it comes to getting your point across, you feel you may not be able to do it in a way without offending the other person.
