Chet Hanks stars as Travis Bugg in Netflix's new comedy Running Point, despite lacking basketball skills. The character mirrors Hanks' own controversial persona—tattooed, aspiring rapper, and social media provocateur. Hanks was determined to get the role, suggesting a deep connection to the character. His acting career, beginning with a remix of a popular song, showcases a blend of talent and unpredictability. With a history of entertaining antics and personal struggles, including sobriety, Hanks aims to inspire others while building his legacy, contrasting sharply with his father’s wholesome image.
"I said, 'If I don't get this role, I'm just going to quit acting,' Hanks tells me. It was just uncanny—it's almost like it was written for me..."
"His past viral escapades include his dedication to repeatedly using a Jamaican accent and his 2021 declaration of White Boy Summer."
"Now three years sober, Hanks is grateful for his new lease on life and hopes to help others achieve the same."
"Chet Hanks isn't afraid to admit it: he has no game. He can hardly dribble or shoot a basketball."
