Hanks angling for inauguration spot: any spot

We are all Forest Gumps now.

LOS ANGELES - Tom Hanks wants to attend President-elect Barack Obama's inauguration even if he doesn't get a front-row seat. Or any seat at all.

"Look, I'll be in the back," the 52-year-old Oscar winner said backstage Tuesday night at a benefit for the UCLA School of Theater, Film and Television. "I'll sit on the Lincoln steps and just watch it from the distance on a Jumbotron. I've never been to anything like that, and - finally - a guy I voted for won. That hasn't happened most of my life."
