This game comes in two parts. The first part is where you answer where the famous star made his debut appearance on television. The second part, you have to name a new actor.

The first actor is Tom Hanks, so who can tell me what show he made his television debut appearance in?

yes he was in bosom buddies, but he actually had a one time appearance on another fairly well-watched series prior to bosom buddies.

The other guy's name was Peter Scolari.

Tom Hanks' TV debut was on the Love Boat, but he did have a bit part in a movie prior to that. "He Knows You're Not Alone"

Leonardo Dicaprio

I did not know about the movie role, but the tv debut is indeed the love boat.


"Hanks' lone appearance on 'The Love Boat' likely holds a warm place in his heart -- it's his first TV gig. He was Gopher's rich college pal Rick Martin in an ep titled 'Friends and Lovers/Sergeant Bull/Miss Mother.' Other guests in that show included Doris Roberts ('Everybody Loves Raymond') and the late Vic Tayback ('Alice')."

I'll make it easy for you. I'm not even looking for a his actual debut. Just his big break. He was on a very popular 80's through early 90's T.V series for at least 20 episodes

Parenthood was his debut!! Finally someone looked it up on IMDB, laugh laugh laugh LMAO

But that was not the answer to the last question I asked. What show gave him his career break?
