His old self comes out in his lectures, where he is a slick but likable showman. "It's only 90 minutes," says Tom Hanks, who went to one to research the role of the FBI agent who nabbed Abagnale. "But it's the best one-man show you'll possibly ever see." In the movie, Abagnale's character is just as entertaining. "He did steal 2 1/2 million bucks," Hanks says...
