No, I don't think Hanks would be fit for a lot of roles Pacino plays, but Pacino would not be well cast in a lot of Hanks' roles either.

I agree with every single sentence of that.
Pacino just goes through the motions these days, too much bombast and not enough nuance.
And lots of actors couldnt do what other guys do, imagine Al playing Forrest Gump
... or imagine Travolta as Gump, he was originally the first choice for that role, ugh.
