Hanks supports son at Sundance

By Alexandra Heilbron on January 21, 2008 | 3 Comments

Tom Hanks turned up at the Sundance Film Festival to support his look-alike son Colin Hanks’ performance in The Great Buck Howard. “I’ve been used to this guy, he’s been around for about 30 years,” Tom told Entertainment Tonight of Colin, 30. “He’s a great guy, he’s a good actor and this is really his thing.” Tom also appears in a small role as Colin’s father in the film. John Malkovich plays the title role and Emily Blunt co-stars as a publicist who, along with Colin’s character, try to help a has-been magician jump-start his career.

   I hope there was no HANKYpanky in the son getting the role.

   Malkovich should carry any movie in case little Hanks isn’t a chip off the old block.

   Anyone seen this?

   I hope he gets his talent from his Dad.

   Apparently he got his looks from his father, hopefully he gets his voice from anyone else!
