Penney knew who she wanted to play the older Josh. She called her friend Tom Hanks. Hanks, who had just turned 30, had just finished filming a buddy cop film called ' Dragnet'. Hanks, who feared that he would never work again., was constantly working on films. After ' Dragnet', Hanks began working on a film called ' Punchline'. The film was about a bitter standup comedian. 
Growing up, Hanks's parents divorced when he was five. Hanks grew up funny and shy. In high school, he hung around theater kids. 
At California State University, Hanks studied theater production. Hanks married Susan Dillingham. She gave birth to a son Colin in 1977. The family moved to New York. Thanks to a lucky audition, Hanks got a role in a TV series called ' Bosom Buddies'. In 1985, Tom and Susan divorced. After the huge success of ' Splash', Hanks was hoping ' Big' would be his next big film.
