I always think that when I see this movie. I thought it WAS him at first until Tom Hanks showed up lol. It's not just the hair, it's his smile and whole mannerisms. Could easily pass as Tom's son.

Tom Hanks thinks so, too.
From TES's trivia: During auditions for That Thing You Do! (1996), Tom Hanks was opposed to hiring Tom (Everett Scott), because of the the fact that Scott could've passed for Hanks 15 years ago. It wasn't until Hanks' wife Rita Wilson saw the audition tape, and decided he was cute, so, Hanks decide7ecd to risk hiring Scott. -

I read an Entertainment Weekly article back in '96 where Tom Hanks said that were he younger, he would've portrayed Guy Patterson. And Tom Scott seems as a young Tom Hanks to me. There's nothing wrong with that; it's called making movies pragmatically. I think I see what the Director was going for and I'm glad that Tom Hanks portrayed Mr. White. Right there in the thick of things and a bit of vicarious living on the side. Those scenes in "That Thing You Do", near the end where T.E. Scott is playing opposite Rita Wilson, Mrs. Tom Hanks, are awesome.
