Tom Hanks Ad-libs His Way Through an Audience Emergency While Playing Falstaff

Tom Hanks is currently starring as Falstaff in Daniel Sullivan's production of Shakespeare's Henry IV in Los Angeles. During a recent performance as the Fat Knight, the multi-award-winning actor proved that he's as good at improv as he is at everything else. When an audience member took ill, Hanks stormed the stage — in character — to calm the crowd down and get the show back on track.
