Tom Hanks’ elder brother, Lawrence, is an expert on insects and works as a tenured professor of entomology at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. 

In 2017, Hanks appeared on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert and recalled a time when his big brother temporarily one-upped him during a visit to Joshua Tree National Park in California. Tom and his wife, Rita Wilson ran into a group of entomology students from The University of California at Riverside. “I said, ‘Well, I’m Tom Hanks.’ And they said, ‘Yeah, and your brother is Dr. Larry Hanks.’ So I was like the famous guy’s brother…” he said (via the Chicago Tribune.) “And it rattled me. And my brother Jim is still angry about it, and my sister Sandra still can’t quite…” Hanks added that Larry “insists on being called Professor Lawrence around our house.”
