Haley Joel Osment as Forrest Gump Jr.

In the classic film “The Sixth Sense,” this acclaimed young actor portrayed a character who famously “saw dead people.” Before he played that legendary role, he won over audiences with his performance as Forrest Gump Jr. It’s interesting to note that the filmmaker found out about him through a commercial for Pizza Hut. Osment was selected to bring these iconic figures to life when he was only six years old.
