Thomas Jeffrey "Tom" Hanks is 60 today.

During his years studying theater, Hanks met Vincent Dowling, head of  
the Great Lakes Theater Festival in Cleveland, Ohio. Dowling’s urged
Hanks to become an intern at the festival. That internship stretched into
a three-year experience that covered most aspects of theater production,
including lighting, set design, and stage management, prompting Hanks
to drop out of college.
