00:00Peter Hanks, God bless him, I'll miss him every day.
00:03Tom Hanks is opening up about his longtime friendship with his Bosom Buddies co-star, the late Peter Scolari, who died on October 22nd from cancer.
00:11I don't know how many people truly do change their lives when you cross paths with them.
00:15While appearing on Jimmy Kimmel Live on Tuesday night to promote his new movie, Finch,
00:20Hanks shared several anecdotes from his time working on the ABC sitcom with Scolari in the early 1980s.
00:26He said this about when the pair first met.
00:28We picked up the scripts and we started screwing around and I actually thought, oh, this is it.
00:33This is how this works. This is like a hand inside a glove.
00:37Hanks went on to describe how the two friends became very close during filming.
00:40You know, we were molecularly connected in a way that we started speaking the same language.
00:47The actor also shared a clip from one of his favorite episodes of Bosom Buddies that he said showed the ease the pair had with each other.
00:54Kip, kipper, kip kabob!
00:56Get a hold of yourself!
00:58Towards the end of the sit-down, Hanks got choked up while thanking Kimmel for allowing him to remember his friend.
01:04Peter has a lovely family. His wife Tracy's got absolutely great kids and we lost them to the emperor of all malady.
01:11So, thanks for letting us show that.
01:13Oh, thanks everybody.
