Oliver was the son of former adult film star Traci Lords, and in 2008 he was starting a small film studio.

For his first serious drama, he wanted Tom Hanks, but unfortunately, Tom was under contract to the Weinsteins for his next three films.

"What will it take to get me Tom Hanks?", Oliver wrote Harvey Weinstein.

"Heh. Nothing you've got.... Except, maybe, some images? You know the kind I mean."

"Digital images from my mom's early days? Ugh, you're such a perv. Fine, I'll ask her."

And so it came to pass in the year of our lord 2008 that the pervy digital images were sent, and a reply came back.

"For these GIFs we have received we give T. Hanks, O. Lords."
