Haley Joel Osment


I first heard the name of Haley Joel Osment in 1999, shortly after the release of his breakthrough, The Sixth Sense. The thing is, I heard everywhere. The casting in progress to push forward, and the film adaptation of my novel of the same name, but I did not participate. I was just keeping my fingers crossed. Started getting calls and emails from friends who said: "We must wait and see" The Sixth Sense. "You can see this work a child. You will not believe how good it is. They have to get it, Trevor. I tell them to get Haley Joel Osment." I saw the film . I could not believe how good he was. But it was not my job to cast the role of Trevor. Can only hope.
After a month or two later, I heard that Mimi Leder, director of the push forward, and held a meeting with Haley. On November 19 was the official. Haley was at the time a player respected celebrity, and I was lucky enough to see him portray my vision for the 12-year-old, who change the world.
Behind every "surprise success" is a long road, which runs many difficult years.

I knew that did not come Haley Joel Osment out of nowhere to star in collaboration with Bruce Willis in the movie The Sixth Sense. I had seen him in an alley sitcom THUNDER TV, and playing his son, Tom Hank in the movie Forrest Gump hit. I had also seen him in a false, and the film which starred Haley 1996 along with Whoopi Goldberg, Gerard Depardieu. Or perhaps it is more accurate to say that they shine with him. The movie revolves around the figure of Halle, and the film almost entirely on the screen. It could also have been false breakout film. But somehow the sixth sense that got the attention of almost everyone on the planet. This was followed by supporting actor Oscar nomination, and I woke up one or two who might be behind it. When he was cast in the first push it forward and I would say, "Haley Joel Osment ..." Pause. "... The child of 'The Sixth Sense." Then the flow of praise. By the time you push it forward for the first time, I just said, "Haley Joel Osment." There was no more time to say before the start of praise. There is no need.

But the story is due - all the way back to the shopping trip with his mother, Haley took when he was only four. Passed on the video screen of the experiences of people in search of new talent. Haley asked his mother if he could give it a shot. Was standing in front of the camera and read some lines. Shortly after, he received a call to Pizza Hut commercial that launched his career.
In addition to his film early on, as he did TV guest appearances on Murphy Brown and Murphy's son, Avery, Ally McBeal and as dying boy who sued God. Also completed two of the manufacture's - TV movies and the lake, and CAB to Canada.
When we met for the first time Haley, a set of push forward. The shooting wrapped in Las Vegas, cast and crew were shooting inside a copy of the McKinney home built on a sound stage in Hollywood. And E.P.K. (Electronic press kit) and the crew was on set that day, after my interview I was invited to watch Halley. Gathered a small crowd, just listen to him - and impressed current. How can one prepare for that, express that, quiet and professional, and have eleven? Seemed like a man nearly grown in the body of a child. By the time he left that day I had watched him chase Kevin Spacey back and forth across the group, and I saw him jump on the announcement of the return of Kevin: "I am a boy depleted, and you can not shake me off." (Not quite, true that he ended up hanging head down from the waist before Kevin was everywhere.) I watched him take off his bicycle through a lot. By Kevin Spacey left to chase him in a golf cart the studio, and said it was Haley, "He is a dwarf and the forty-year-old." I'm not sure what amazes me more, that Halley had the intelligence and professionalism beyond his years, or that underneath all that is, spontaneous, honest, fun-loving child.
