Haley Joel
Osment ( Walter )
American child actor who at this writing
(2000) has proven himself
perhaps the best young actor of his generation. The son of actor Eugene
Osment and teacher Theresa Osment, Haley was chosen for a commercial at
age 4 after a casting director spotted him in a furniture store with
his parents. His comedy skills were manifest very young, and he
followed "Thunder Alley" with two more sitcoms.Norman Jewison gave him
his first leading role on the big screen inBogus (1996), and he proved
completely at ease in this dramatic role. However, it took the smash
hitSixth Sense, The (1999) to brand the young actor on the public
consciousness. His devastating performance as the haunted Cole Sear
brought him an Oscar nomination at age 11 and a memorable tribute at
the awards from winner Michael Caine. Since then, he has given an
equally powerful performance in Pay It Forward (2000). Along with the
bravura performances, he has developed an equal reputation in the
industry for unspoiled professionalism. His younger sister Emily Osment
has made several impressive film and television appearances as well |

He continued to work steadily through the 1980s on shows like "Quincy" and "Father Murphy" but did not fall into the trap of many child actors that become identified with one famous role (because his child roles were as guest spots, or, as in the case of "Herbie: the Love Bug", were cancelled early on) or can't get work as adults and allow their lives to fall to pieces. |
