I think he went on to do some film about some guy who lived in a forest...i think he was a runner or something... also some war film...i seem to remember something about him turning to the hooch aswell in one film...i think he was a sales person for AOL for a while too sending out junk emails or something. other than that no idea

Are you guys completely sure about that, "Hank" fellow? I think I seem to remember hearing something about him changing his name to Wilson, getting a job as a pianist at some big toy store in New York City while dressed as, of all things, a woman! Then I heard, he quit his job to join the military and jump off the deck of a shrimp boat during a tropical storm and right into an angry volcano located somewhere in Philadelphia.......That was the last I heard...weird, huh?!?
Then again, I could be wrong...
"If you shoot me in a dream, you'd better wake up and apologize."
He's sitting around, waiting for Peter Scolari to do a movie and give him a bit part in it.
shareIt must make Tom so mad when he looks at the stellar careers carved out by some of the films more leading lights. Zmed aced it with TJ Hooker and Dudikoff went off to kick both box office and critical butt with American Ninja. Even Monique Gabrielle was in with a shout come Oscar time with her performance in that art-house classic "Emmanuelle 4".
He must be so gutted - last I heard he had gotten himself involved in some religious cult twaddle, searching for Jesus' missus. Poor bloke.
Geez, a donkey that doesn't want to be recognised? Something interesting is gonna happen here...

I heard he became good friends with a vollyball named Wilson.

It's a shame to hear about the poor guy, he bought a house in the mid 80's that cost a fortune to bring up to scratch and renovate, then the guy went and got himself the AIDS, and the shock gave him amnesia and made him mentally challenged, but eventually he managed to gain the respect of his parents by doing lectures at university, poor guy thought he was a professor, and recently people have thought he knew things about mythology and the life of jesus, just cos he's a southern christian, and now people are hunting him down, well, his Dragnet co-star seems to go from strength to strength.
If you wished "The Sound of Music" was really called "Snakes on a Plane" You'll love this film!
He changed his name to Apollo, and he is now my basketball team's center. His number is 13
I've always loved that word "gargantuan," I just so rarely have a chance to use it in a sentence.
I don't get it, Tom Hanks is a HUGE star! He has been in several hit films and I don't see any signs of stopping. Just check out his credits!
shareRight...you don't get it. We call it sarcasm...haha...joke.
shareWell, I don't know what work he's been up to, but in the 'Stars of Yesterday' page in People magazine, they had a photo of him reading that Da Vinci Code book. And has his hair gone to hell since 1984!

"Hey, I'll have the poached salmon..." "HEY POACHED SALMON I'LL HAVE THAT"
I've also got lots of hair in them.
shareactually i was refering to everyone BUT you. but thanks for sharing.
"Hey, I'll have the poached salmon..." "HEY POACHED SALMON I'LL HAVE THAT"
Then why reply to me? The response I gave was because of your error. And your welcome.
shareI saw him in another 80's movie, can't recall the name but hopefully this Hanks guy can be in the sequel to Bachelor Party, I mean, this guy needs some work quick!
"I love the smell of napalm in the morning"
I've heard of Colin Hanks. I wonder if he is related to Tom Hanks. LOL
shareLast i heard of Tom Hanks was in Family Ties
playing a relative with a huge drinking problem.
Also i heard a rumor that he has spoken to MEGa babe
Meg Ryan.
I'm better looking than Tom so maybe 1 day i will
have a relationship of some kind with Meg.

Now that Tawny Kitaen ... what a legend!! Things really took off for her after those Whitesnake videos - she didn't let the drugs & booze get to her.

Replying from three years later... think ya might have jinxed her!
Yes, Colin is his son.
shareYeah, he costarred in Dragnet with Dan Aykroyd (the music was written by my cousin Ira Newborn) in 1987. After that, I think he won some Oscars for playing a gay man with AIDS and a moron from the South. He was just recently in a film called Charlie Wilson's War (was Charlie related to the volleyball Hanks costarred with in Cast Away?) and is also a producer for the HBO series Big Love and their upcoming John Adams project. Hope this answers your question.
shareHe did a movie about a volcano, and decided to become a "serious" actor after that.
Pfft, serious actor. Tom Hanks? Serious? What a joke.
I have no idea who Tom Hanks is. I heard the donkey from this movie got a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, though. ahaha
also, I can't believe some people reading this thread don't know these are jokes
lol
Hanks is a "AAA" tow-truck guy in Northridge, CA.
Call for a tow and he'll refuse to give you an autograph when you haven't even asked for one.
Sad.
It's amazing how you all are dumb enough to defame an icon in movie history.
You guys are killing big names in hollywood for senseless humor...which is ok...but I can see where this is goin....

After Bachelor Party, Tom Hanks wrote a couple of independent films, and also made guest appearances on Friends.

I think Tom Hanks worked as an extra in a couple movies after "Bachelor Party".
Seriously, Tom Hanks has become a beloved actor. He reminds me a little of the late Jimmy Stewart.
I can't believe I first noticed Hanks when he was dressing in drag and co-starring in the tv show "Bosom Buddies".
