Interestingly, Steve Zahn and Scott know each other and are close pals. The two actors both had breakthrough roles in Tom Hanks’ directorial debut That Thing You Do!, which was released more than two decades ago, in 1996.
And now that Steve Zahn is being replaced by his That Thing You Do! co-star, Cinema Blend reached out to the actor to learn his reaction. But Zahn was all sweet about it, and said he was enthusiastic about Scott, his “buddy,” playing the role in a family-friendly reboot of Diary of a Wimpy Kid.
“Dude, he called me up and he’s like, ‘I’m playing your part.’ Like, what?? I couldn’t believe it. How weird is that? They were shooting in Atlanta. I live in Kentucky. I’m like, I’m driving down. I’m driving down.”

But Steve Zahn was quick to add that he didn’t go there, because he had been too busy with his kids. The actor shares two kids with wife Robyn Peterman, son Henry James Zahn and daughter Audrey Clair Zahn.
