Early life
Born to Eugene Osment and Theresa Seifert, he began acting at the age of four, when he tried out for a Pizza Hut commercial in a shopping mall. The commercial launched his career, and he landed his first television role later that year. As a younger child he played Forrest Gump's son, also named Forrest Gump, in the 1994 film of the same name. He had roles in numerous TV series, including Walker, Texas Ranger, Murphy Brown, and most notably The Jeff Foxworthy Show.
Film career
Osment first achieved stardom in 1999 when he appeared in the blockbuster The Sixth Sense, co-starring Bruce Willis. For this role he won the Saturn Award for best young actor. He was also nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor but lost to Michael Caine (whom he would later star alongside in Secondhand Lions). Osment then appeared in Steven Spielberg's AI: Artificial Intelligence, cementing his stature as one of the leading young actors in Hollywood. This role got him his second Saturn Award. He has since appeared in several films, including Pay It Forward and Secondhand Lions. Osment also provided the voice for Sora, the main protagonist of The Walt Disney Company and Squaresoft's Kingdom Hearts series of video games. He starred in Bogus alongside Whoopi Goldberg and Gérard Depardieu.
One of Osment's lines in The Sixth Sense, "I see dead people," is often repeated on television programs.
