LOS ANGELES \u2013 Tom Hanks brings a double helping of crotchety to his role in “A Man Called Otto.”<\/p>\n
Truthfully, it’s initially jarring to see the universally anointed Nicest Guy In Hollywood, who won an Oscar as guileless Forrest Gump, transform into Otto the Grump.<\/p>\n
But to the grump skeptics, Hanks, 66, explains he’s had years of preparation for the role just dealing with Otto-like life nuisances. Like satellite TV.<\/p>\n
“You know how DirecTV has a grid telling you where all the channels are?” Hanks asks moments after breezily sitting down to talk in a Beverly Wilshire hotel suite. “For some reason, they just change it. So what used to be channel 151 is now somewhere in the 500s. And you have to search for it. Or the new grid is more complicated than a legal disclaimer from a drug prescription commercial.”<\/p>\n
He’s just getting started, but you get the idea. Hanks can walk the tetchy walk for the comedic drama “Otto” (in theaters nationwide Friday).<\/p>\n
