Hanks also appeared in the film Whatever It Takes, a high school version of Cyrano De Bergerac. (His film debut was a bit part in his father’s hit film, That Thing You Do.)
Hanks grew up in Sacramento, Calif. and attended Loyola Marymount University, a liberal arts school in Los Angeles, Calif., where he began acting and appearing in school productions such as Noises Off!
Hanks lives in Los Angeles.
