"The Sixth Sense" Clip:
BW: How often do you see them?
HJO: All the time.
Voice-over: Haley Joel Osment steals the show in "The Sixth Sense" with his Oscar-caliber performance as a boy who can see the dead in this thriller that would normally scare any eleven year old.
TP: Did you have the heebie-jeebies
and nightmares and stuff like that? Anything like that?
HJO: No, actually I slept really good in Philadelphia. When my dad and I were there, we had a movie store
down the road, sort of a Blockbuster, and we always rented movies and we rented scary movies since we were shooting one. So I only had nightmares after I saw a scary
movie.
Voice-over: Haley is certainly no one-hit wonder. He starred as Tom Hanks’ son in "Forrest Gump," had a role on the sitcom "The Jeff Foxworthy Show," and now he’s stealing the show from one of Hollywood’s biggest names, "The Sixth Sense" co-star, Bruce Willis. But as our Tony Potts found out, Haley is just a kid at heart. During a visit to the world famous Long Beach Aquarium with his sister, Haley says he’d rather spend time with the animals than act.
TP: One of the cool things, I think, that you told me is that you want to be a marine biologist, at least at one point,
right?
HJO: Yeah. Then I found out they spend most of the time in a lab, so I think I’m going to be a zoologist.
Reporter: Sounds like a plan to me.
Well, ABC will be the first to air "The Sixth Sense" on network television. It will cost ABC about fifteen percent of what the movie grosses domestically.
