MOVIE TRIVIA …
HALEY JOEL OSMENT
Auditioned for Anakin Skywalker in Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace (1999), but didn't get a callback.
He was a straight-A student
Though Osment is now a well-known actor, what many people don't know is that Forrest Gump (1994), a very popular contemporary classic, was one of his first films. That is not surprising, since his screen time was only about two minutes, despite playing the son of the title character. It was another five years before he became famous with The Sixth Sense (1999), another popular contemporary classic.
Although gossiped to be Steven Spielberg's favorite to play the title role in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (2001), had Spielberg directed the film as once planned, Osment himself denied this and was vehemently against the series even being made into films lest the magic of the novels be ruined.
Fractured his right rib and right shoulder, and received lacerations to his body when he lost control of his car and crashed into a brick mailbox. [July 2006]
