An emotional Tom Hanks remembers Peter Scolari: "We were molecularly connected"

Hanks discussed the recent death of his Bosom Buddies co-star for the first time last night on Jimmy Kimmel Live! -- which once featured Scolari in a tribute to Hanks. "Peter — God bless him, I'll miss him every day — he had the body of a gymnast, I mean like a professional Cirque du Soleil gymnast. He could do, like, the iron triangle and stuff like that; he was a juggler," Hanks recalled to Kimmel. "I don't know how many people truly do change your lives when you cross paths with them, but he and I met, we picked up the scripts, we started screwing around, and I actually thought, 'Oh, this is it. This is how this works. This is like a hand inside a glove....For two years at Paramount Studios, on unlucky stage 25, we cut it up... We were molecularly connected in a way that we started speaking the same language." After Kimmel showed a Bosom Buddies clip, Hanks got emotional. "Peter has a lovely family, his wife Tracy (Shayne), he's got absolutely great kids," Hanks said. "We lost him to the emperor of all maladies, so thanks for letting us show that."
