Colin Hanks and Tom Hanks

It is one thing to be the son of a legendary actor and it is another to be able to cope with the pressure that comes with it. Colin Hanks has handled both brilliantly by becoming a writer, director, producer and actor. Although he still has a long way to go to attain his father’s status, his start has not been bad at all. He handles his credit card billings well and doesn’t look like the type to go bankrupt in the nearest future. Colin once said that comparing his career to his father is like “hitting your head against the wall”.

But he is lucky enough to grow up without experiencing difficulties, being Tom’s eldest son. He was also able to showcase his talents to everyone and found a relatively easy entry into the industry. Like his father, he appeared on numerous films like King Kong, Jumanji and Orange County. Colin would surely continue his father’s remarkable reputation someday should his father decide to retire at some point.
