He Looks Like a Young Version of Tom Hanks


I just watch "That Thing You Do" today on DVD (knowing that Tom Hanks will be in the movie), and the first thing I thought of when I saw Tom Everett Scott was, "Is that guy his son?" I knew that Tom Hanks had a son so at first I thought that was him because Tom and Tom looked alike. :)

TES looks like a younger version of Tom Hanks to me. :)

i totally agree with you. i just saw "becuase i said so" and i kept thinking that he was the same actor in "big" who played the younger version of tom hanks' character. he isn't the same guy, but he definately looks like he could be tom hanks' son.

i think they should play a father and son in a movie. that pairing would be very convincing.

OMG me too, I was watching Because I said so in the cinema with a friend and kept asking her if she thoguht he looked familiar and if she remembers what the kid in BIG looked like, because I could have sworn he's the kid from BIG! There is also a similarity to Tom Hanks of course.

i totally agree they look alike. Today, i turned on the TV and chose to watch something in FOX. There was a movie, i never knew which was it but the first person that was shown from where i started watching was tom everett scott. Of course i didn't knew who he was and thought he was tom hanks, 2 min later tom hanks was shown and i was like :O they're not the same person, then liv tyler came out to the screen and i realized i was watching "that thing you do"...

I always think that when I see this movie. I thought it WAS him at first until Tom Hanks showed up lol. It's not just the hair, it's his smile and whole mannerisms. Could easily pass as Tom's son.

Tom Hanks thinks so, too. :)

From TES's trivia: During auditions for That Thing You Do! (1996), Tom Hanks was opposed to hiring Tom (Everett Scott), because of the the fact that Scott could've passed for Hanks 15 years ago. It wasn't until Hanks' wife Rita Wilson saw the audition tape, and decided he was cute, so, Hanks decided to risk hiring Scott.

Thats weird, I don't see that at all. I always thought that he and Kirk Cameron look really similar.

Nope, you are all wrong. He looks more like Chris Makepeace than anyone else.
