Over his long career, Tom Hanks has established a rock-solid screen persona as an affectionate, good-natured father figure. The culmination of this squeaky clean image was perhaps his Oscar-nominated performance as TV host and legendary mensch Fred Rogers in 2019’s “A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood.” But more recent films like “News of the World,” “Finch,” and especially this year’s “Elvis” have seen Hanks embrace darker, more emotionally ambiguous characters.  That trend continues with “A Man Called Otto,” an upcoming comedy-drama from director Marc Forster in which Hanks plays the lead, an aging curmudgeon contemplating suicide.
