When it comes to ruling the roost in Hollywood, a new poll has found that no other actor pulls in the masses as much as Tom Hanks.

The survey of 1,003 adults conducted from Nov. 27 to Nov. 29 by Gallup, found that 44 percent of movie goers will go out of the way to watch one of the 'Forrest Gump' star's movies.

Coming in right behind Hanks was movie great Robert De Niro with 33 percent of the votes, followed by 'Pretty Woman' Julia Roberts in third place with 29 percent of the votes, reports the New York Daily News.

The fourth most popular stars in Hollywood are Will Smith and Sandra Bullock followed closely with 27 percent of the votes.

The top five was rounded off by Mel Gibson in fifth place with 26 percent of the votes.

As for the stars that movie-goers will go out of the way to avoid, well topping that list was actor Tom Cruise with 34 percent of the votes.
