Actor Tom Hanks was honoured with a Bafta Brittania award for film excellence in Los Angeles on Thursday.

The father of his wife Rita Wilson who is of Bulgarian origin has contributed much to the Bulgarian accent perfection of Hanks in his latest blockbuster The Terminal.

Tom Hanks joins an elite of film heavyweights who have won the prestigious trophy, including Steven Spielberg, Anthony Hopkins and Martin Scorsese.

The 48-year-old actor became the toast of the Academy Awards, winning back-to-back best actor Oscars for his roles in Philadelphia (1993) and Forrest Gump (1994).

He became the first actor to achieve such a feat since Spencer Tracy in the 1930s and has three further nominations to his name.
