Colin Hanks
- Born: 24 Nov, 1977
Colin Hanks' name and superstar pedigree promised him a career unlike most other talented young up and comers, saddled with the both pressures and the privileges of being the eldest son of internationally famous film star Tom Hanks. Tall and lanky with dark hair and palpably friendly boy-next-door good looks, Hanks possessed an affable screen presence not unlike that of his Oscar-winning dad, but the young actor sought to make his way alone, even using a stage name with producers while trying out for a role in his father's directorial debut "That Thing You Do!" (1996). Hanks, who was a production assistant on the set of "Apollo 13" (1995), was eventually cast in this 1960s-set look at a one-hit wonder rock band as a studio page.
