It's A Beautiful Day in the NeighborhoodMister Rogers' NeighborhoodWhen dressed as his character, Hanks would often be approached by crew members that were "enamored" with his transformation.

"He got out before me and as the door was closing, he turned and he looked at me and he said, 'We take Mister Rogers very seriously here,'" recalled Hanks. "His eyes were snake-like for a second and I'm thinking, 'I believe I have been threatened in the city of three rivers." "He taught me that listening is a million times more important than talking," said Hanks. "There is an acronym that I've now started using in my own life — W-A-I-T, wait — which stands for 'why am I talking?' You should just sit and start listening to everybody that comes across your way and you'll be amazed at what you learn."
