Rico Hates Tom Hanks

While watching TV tonight, I hit pause during the middle of a commercial for The Da Vinci Code and waited for John to return from the kitchen. It landed on a still frame of Tom Hanks as Robert Langdon, an image so creepy that it actually roused Rico from his deep slumber on the couch and forced him, for the first time in seven years, to actually look at the image on the TV.

He regarded the screen warily at first, then began to growl and raise his hackles. He spent a full minute alternating between an intense desire to flee the horrifying man on screen and a sense of obligation to protect his family from it. I'm not sure who decided that Tom Hanks was a good choice for this character and I really can't comprehend the hair style he sports in the film. I would not, however, have guessed that he had the capacity to scare innocent pets.
