Oh, Brother Where Art Thou?
In physically demanding film scenes, actors often rely on body doubles to take their place. Although finding a perfect match can be challenging, the industry manages to find a way, especially for fleeting moments. In this case, they didn’t have to search far—Tom Hanks’s family tree provided the solution. Enter Jim Hanks, Tom’s younger brother and an exceptional runner in his own right. With a striking resemblance to his brother, Jim not only serves as Tom’s body double in Forrest Gump but has also stepped in for him in various Toy Story video games. So, when the acclaimed actor is unavailable, he can confidently pass the torch to his talented younger brother.
