I have a theory about Lorne Michaels and Dana Carvey. And Tom Hanks is the one people think raped Corey Feldman and Corey Haim.

Hanks is an Illuminatus, a descendant of Nancy Hanks, Abe Lincoln's (secret Rothschild) mother.

Him too, but there's an 80's "A-List" actor with a family man reputation that is supposedly a real monster and a trafficking kingpin. Some have speculated Tom Hanks, Robin Williams was also A-List though
