Mini biography
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. Within months he had landed a small but
memorable role as Tom Hanks' son in Forrest Gump (1994)
and a starring role as Edward Asner's grandson on the TV
series "Thunder Alley" (1994). 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 in Bogus (1996), and he proved completely at ease
in this dramatic role. However, it took the smash hit
Sixth 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.
