Tom Hanks

Two-time Oscar winner Tom Hanks was spotted in attendance at the Premier League game between Aston Villa and Arsenal.

Of course, there's one thing that Probst and "Survivor" didn't have that proved to be Hanks and director Robert Zemeckis's secret weapon: the world's most beloved volleyball. Tom Hanks earned a well-deserved Oscar nomination for his performance, and "Cast Away" was the year's third highest-grossing film worldwide. After all, when people talk about [the best Tom Hanks movies](https://www.slashfilm.com/934192/the-best-tom-hanks-movies-ranked/) and performances, they tend to go right to films like "Philadelphia," "Saving Private Ryan," and "Forrest Gump," when the best performance of his career may very well have been as Chuck Noland in "Cast Away."
