Andy Comeau

Comeau’s resemblance to Tom Hanks helped him gain the role of Forrest Gump in the 1996 music video for the “Weird Al” Yankovic song “Gump”. Shortly after his breakthrough with “Gump”, Comeau appeared as Charlie in 8 Heads in a Duffel Bag (1997) alongside Joe Pesci, David Spade and Kristy Swanson. The following year he played Tim Connors in Blackout Effect (1998) and Tom Inman in Virtual Obsession (1998).

In 1999, he appeared in the fourth episode of the second season of Will and Grace as Andy Fellner, Grace’s childhood friend whom Grace’s mom fixes up with Will. Back on the silver screen, Comeau had a brief but pivotal role in the Robin Williams thriller One Hour Photo (2002).

He also guest-starred in Criminal Minds in the season 1 episode “Charm and Harm” where he played a serial killer named Mark Gregory who abducted random women before holding them prisoner for several days while also subjecting them to torture and then drowning them.

In 2004 the actor came back to cinema with My Tiny Universe (2004), a dark comedy.
