Hanks introduced himself on the AMA in a humble fashion, telling users "I'm that guy in movies that sometimes can be seen more than once. In that I abhor self-promotion, I'll leave it to you guys to figure out what movies those are (hint: my next movie comes out October 11 )."

The movie Hanks is referring to is 'Captain Phillips,' a chilling tale of high seas piracy that opened in the US on Friday. Despite Hanks's humility, it's already garnering talks of a Best Actor Oscar nomination for his turn in the titular role.
