HJO 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 "The 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 (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 : "Once I learned of your nomination and saw your performance, I knew for sure you would win". 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. hide

A school social studies assignment leads to social changes that spread from city-to-city. Assigned to come up with some idea that will improve mankind, a young boy (Haley Joel Osment) decides that if he can do three good deeds for someone and they in turn can "pay it forward" and so forth, positive changes can occur. What appears to initially be a failure, is indeed a success that is not immediately known but is traced backwards by a reporter who is a benefactor. The initial recipients of the boy are a drug addict (James Cavaziel), his badly scarred school teacher (Kevin Spacey), and his alcoholic mother (Helen Hunt). While physically and mentally scarred by past events, the teacher is not the only one bearing scars. The young boy fears his mother's fate, particularly at his brutal, alcoholic father's (Jon Bon Jovi) hands. The mother also bears scars from her childhood with a homeless, alcoholic mother (Angie Dickinson). Download:DVDDivXPDA
