Colin Hanks in Untraceable Credit: Screen Gems

The older cute Colin Hanks gets, the more he looks like his famous dad Tom. He also has his dad's charm and sense of humor which was on display when we spoke with him recently at a fancy beach hotel in Santa Monica. Hanks was last widely seen in King Kong and has been a bit off the radar recently but comes back strong this year with four feature films. The first out is the cyber-thriller Untraceable in which Colin plays an FBI computer geek who baits then tracks down predators on the web. When one ultra-sicko starts killing people slowly and streaming the grisly deaths live on his webcam, Colin and his fellow Cyber-Crime agent, played by Diane Lane, have their hands full.

Picture tall, dark and handsome Colin going casual in a gray striped shirt and jeans. We wondered what he thinks of the internet today and how much of a computer geek he really is...

TeenHollywood: How techie are you? Between you and Diane, which one of you is savvier?

Colin: I would say I am just because I am the first generation that actually took a computer class in school. But that class consisted of 'Move this triangle and make another triangle within five minutes'. I'm not really that technologically savvy. I never really used e-mail that much until I was in New Zealand for ten months on (King) Kong 'cause then I was sort of forced to communicate that way. Before then I was convinced that the Internet was created for bored people at work. I never really thought that it was gonna be that big of a deal, but now [I know] enough. I can get to iTunes. I can use my e-mail.
