Tom Hanks is probably the only actor able to play Fred Rogers & I feel sorry for those too young to have experienced Mr. Rogers Neighborhood. Fred Rogers proved that kindness is a strength not a weakness.

When Mr Rogers passed, A little part of all of us passed away also. He taught us so much about love, respect and accepting others as they are. He is greatly missed.

My parents were not emotionally there, but Mr. Rogers was. He saved my childhood. So glad Tom told some of his story.

Mr. Rogers is so proud of Tom...in Ultra heaven.

As someone from England who had no idea who Mr Rodgers was and learnt through YouTube, he was a national treasure we never had. What a wonderful man he was. RIP Fred ❤️

We need Fred Rogers now more than ever. Not sure there will ever be another who carries himself and is as endearing as he was in our lives.
I always hold out hope though.

mr. rogers spoke to me as a kid like no one else could. he spoke free of the prejudice and weakness and fear that the world can place upon people - rather - that people are willing to accept for themselves. he was a huge, understanding and loving human being

I love Tom Hanks, I just love him. I can't picture anyone else playing Mr. Rogers but him

I love what Mr. Hanks says towards the end of the video regarding Mr. Rogers' philosophy: "Be Kind."

It works now. It worked when Mr. Rogers was preaching it. Dr. Who even expressed it when he said, "I DO WHAT I DO BECAUSE IT’S RIGHT! Because it’s decent! And above all, it’s kind! It’s just that.. Just kind."
