This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

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.

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
[edit]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
[edit]Acting
[edit]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]
Other work
[edit]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. [7]
He served as additional photography on Marvel's Black Widow (2021 film), 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.
