On Tuesday, the actor, 52, retweeted a photo of his That Thing You Do! co-stars Tom Hanks and Johnathon Schaech's recent reunion and shared that he was "chartreuse with envy." The actors starred together in the 1996 cult classic, which Hanks wrote and directed.

"The fans in Erie have embraced (the film) as their own, and that's something that never really happened in my career," he told the outlet. "This was also my first movie. I was 25 years old. And Tom Hanks, my idol, who was directing, picked me out of a crowd of actors. So anything else that's happened afterward has been icing on the cake. And coming to Erie is a very special icing."

The event occurred a year after the fictional band hosted a host a virtual watch-along session with fans to raise money for the non-profit organization MusiCares. Funds collected from the event were donated in the name of Adam Schlesinger, who wrote the Oscar-nominated title song for the movie.

Before his death at age 52, Schlesinger spoke about the inspiration to work on the track during a 2016 conversation with PEOPLE.

“I thought it was a really cute, charming movie and I think it was very well done and very accurate in terms of the music stuff,” Schlesinger said at the time. “Sometimes you see music movies and it’s just painful how off everything is. The attention to detail was really impressive.”

The musician shared that he had just gotten his first publishing deal at the time of the film's development and decided to "take a shot at it."

"I had some friends at the company and they told me about this movie," he told PEOPLE. "They were looking for a song and said I should take a shot at it. I just took it as an assignment and decided it was worth spending a couple of days on for a shot at something like this."
