Honoring America's dad.

As E! readers surely know, today, Jul. 9, marks Tom Hanks' 64th birthday. Thus, in order to pay tribute to the beloved actor, E!'s own Lilliana Vazquez looked back at the Oscar winner's life for a new Pop on Peacock video.

"That's right, Tom! It's time to get down and party because it's your 64th birthday," Lilliana expressed in the footage above. "We've learned so much from you and your characters over the years."

Louisville detective who obtained no-knock warrant for Breonna Taylor's apartment reassigned

Detective Joshua Jaynes wrote five affidavits seeking a judge's permission for no-knock searches as a part of a narcotics investigation in March. Jefferson Circuit Judge Mary Shaw signed all five within 12 minutes. According to court records, the warrants were for Taylor's apartment on Springfield Drive, a suspected drug house in the Russell neighborhood on Elliott Avenue, two vacant homes nearby on Elliott Avenue and a suspected stash house on West Muhammad Ali Boulevard.

Through roles like Mr. Rogers in A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood and Woody in the Toy Story franchise, Lilliana noted that Tom has given us many "profound moments."

We mean, thanks to Forrest Gump, we know now that "life is like a box of chocolates."

"You taught us the meaning of perseverance," she continued. "And how to embrace our inner child."

And, as Lilliana put it, he's the only actor to "actually claim the title of America's dad."
