Truman Hanks (born December 26, 1995) is an American actor and cinematographer, whose acting credits include A Man Called Otto, Asteroid City, and We're Already There. He is the youngest son of actors Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson.[1]
Early life
Truman Hanks is the fourth child of Tom Hanks, and the second child born to Hanks and actress Rita Wilson.[2]
Truman attended The Thacher School from 2010 to 2014. He later joined Stanford University, majoring in mathematics.
Career
Acting
Hanks most recently appeared in Wes Anderson's newest film, The Phoenician Scheme.[3]
In January 2025 it was announced he would be starring in the comedy drama, We're Already There alongside an ensemble cast including Micaela Wittman and Marc Rebillet.[4]
In 2022, he played a young version of Tom Hanks in the Marc Forster film, A Man Called Otto, based on the 2012 novel A Man Called Ove (novel). The film was produced by Rita Wilson.
Forster suggested Hanks for the role, saying, "It’s always so fake to get somebody else to come in and play you, ‘cause they never look right. Could maybe Truman do this?"[5] Of casting his son to play a younger version of himself, Tom said, "It's what all of our kids grew up in. We have four kids — they're all very creative, they're all involved in some brand of storytelling."[6]
