If Tom is notable among his (pee)ers, how come he’s never starred in any adaptations of Steven King novels? There’s never been a King novel that I know of without one of the characters involuntarily peeing in his/her pants in fright. Maybe Tom Hanks has cleared the way for an honest screen portrayal of this phenomenon. ---

But, this _is_ GenQues, not some silly MPSIMS thread, so I feel the need to step up to the plate for factual accuracy. Many, many, _many_ of Stephen King’s novels include no urination at all. ---

In Philadelphia he was probably pissed that he got AIDS. ---

On Bosom Buddies, did they ever have a scene where Hanks & Scolari went to the woman’s room in drag? Also, what was the title of the short lived show that starred Holland Taylor and Tea Leone? Hanks was in one episode where he used the men’s room and came out with his fly stuck, Taylor was helping him fix it and Leone, who played a tabloid newspaper photographer, got a picture of it. Even in prime time, Hanks can’t ignore the subject. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/any-more-movies-with-tom-hanks-pissing/51112.md?page=1)
