Comment: As previous reviewers have mentioned, the sources here appear to still be mostly about Truman in relation to his dad, and there is plenty of unsourced content remaining. I strongly recommend asking in WP:Teahouse for help sourcing this article. Smallangryplanet (talk) 13:50, 1 December 2025 (UTC)

- Comment: Seems like most of the sources are talking about Truman Hanks in relation to his parents, and not truly about Truman himself. See WP:NOTINHERITED. I recommend finding more in-depth sources that talk about Truman's life independently.If you cannot find any more independent sources, that might be a sign that this subject matter is best merged into some other pre-existing article.

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).[5][6] 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?"[7] 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."[8]
Other work
In July 2025, Deadline Hollywood announced Truman will be going into production on Run Amok, a film starring Eric Roberts co-written by Hanks and William Bonnell. He will also serve as director of photography.[9]
He served as additional photography on Marvel's Black Widow (2021 film),[10] as well as being a director of photography assistant on West Side Story (2021 film), and a film loader on Asteroid City.
He also interned for J. J. Abrams company, Bad Robot.
