Tom Hanks' new movie, 'A Man Called Otto,' stars not only the actor as Otto Anderson, but also his son Truman as a young Otto. The actor defended his decision to cast his son in the movie he also produced.

"The thing that doesn't change, no matter what happens — no matter who, what your last name is — is whether it works or not. . . . That's the issue any time any of us go off and try to tell a fresh story or create something that is, has a beginning, a middle or an end. Doesn't matter what our last names are," he told The Sun.

"We have to do the work in order to make that a true and authentic experience for the audience. And that's a much bigger task than worrying about whether anybody is going to like… try to scathe us or not," he added. "If we were a plumbing supply business, or if we ran, you know, the floral shop down the street, the whole family would be putting in time at some point, even if it was just inventory at the end of the year."

"A Man Called Otto" features the first role in front of the camera for Tom Hanks' son Truman, who has worked behind the scenes on other films.Hanks said he was intrigued by the role of Otto, partially because of his personality.
