(21 Sep 2017) TOM HANKS AND OTHER STARS PICK THEIR FAVORITE SHAKESPEARE QUOTES
Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson may have been married for more than 25 years, but they can't agree on one thing: their favorite Shakespeare line.
As the Hollywood couple hosted a charity Shakespeare event in Los Angeles recently, they picked different quotes from the Bard when asked to name their favorites.
"I can tell you what mine is because it's on my Twitter profile," Wilson said. "'To thine own self be true.' Polonius, 'Hamlet.'"
Hanks picked his most memorable - but least favorite.
"'Sowter will cry out on't though it be as rank as a fox.' That's Fabian in 'Twelfth Night.' It is, officially, the worst line in Shakespeare. And I know because I had to deliver it once," he said.
In fact, the exact line runs "Sowter will cry upon't for all this, though it be as rank as a fox."
"I was going to say, what does that mean?" asked Wilson.
"It means it's going to be really funny," Hanks explained, "even though it's really stupid."
Others at the event chose lines from "Romeo and Juliet," including Finn Wittrock and Kyle MacLachlan.
"My bounty is as boundless as the sea. My love as deep. The more I give to thee, the more I have. For both are infinite,' Wittrock quoted, flawlessly. "Drop the mic!" he added, satisfied.
MacLachlan chose an iconic line from the play's balcony scene.
"'What light through yonder window breaks? It is the east and Juliet is the sun,'" he quoted, "'Oh rise, fair sun and kill the envious moon!'"
He was a Romeo once too, he explains.
"That was my first sort of big role I ever did outside of school. So I'll always have a good fondness for that play," MacLachlan said.
Alfred Molina prefers "King Lear," these days.
"I think maybe because I am reaching the age where another 10 years and I could play it. I don't think it was my favorite play when I was 25," Molina admitted.
David Chiklis chose the famed "Tomorrow" soliloquy from "Macbeth."
"I think in a dark sense is something that really – I heard that the first time and went oh, my God, that's magnificent and awful and just indicative of the human condition," he said.
But "Arrested Development" star David Cross had "The Untouchables" on his mind when asked for a Shakespeare quote.
"He brings a knife, you bring a gun. That's the Chicago way," he said, quoting Sean Connery's character Jim Malone from the Al Capone movie.
