Tom Hanks played Elvis Presley's manager Colonel Tom Parker in 2022 Baz Luhrmann's biopic Elvis, and his portrayal of "The Colonel" caused almost as much controversy as the real-life figure did when the King of Rock and Roll was still alive. The portrayal of Parker in Elvis caused quite a stir when the film was released, both because of Hank's interpretation of the character and the relationship between Elvis and Colonel Tom in Baz Luhrmann's story. The real manager of Elvis Presley was known for some appalling behavior toward his star client, and Elvis certainly makes that clear.
