Creative Principles

Haley Joel Osment’s career started at a vert early age. By chance, he was cast in a Pizza Hut commercial which led to being cast in the final scenes of 'Forrest Gump.' Soon after, he was on sitcoms, and then earned an Oscar nomination for the horror classic, ‘The Sixth Sense.’ In this interview, Osment talks about his early appreciation of the craft of being an actor, lessons from icons like M. Night Shyamalan, Steven Spielberg, and Robert Zemeckis, the luxury of preparation time on set, his decision to come back to film after attending college, and what it’s like working on comedies with Will Ferrell and Kristen Wiig. In his latest film, 'Clara’s Ghost,' Joel stars as Joe. The official description reads, “Set over the course of a single evening in the Reynolds family home in suburban Connecticut, Clara's Ghost tells the story of Clara Reynolds who, fed up with constant ribbing from her self-absorbed showbiz family, finds solace in and guidance from the supernatural force she believes is haunting her.” If you enjoyed this interview, join thousands of viewers for the new YouTube series, Creative Principles, which dissects new films, series, and more: http://bit.ly/2FARJz5
