Osment, 37, first gained recognition as a child actor in Forrest Gump before achieving critical acclaim for his role in The Sixth Sense, which earned him an Oscar nomination at age 11. He went on to star in films like Pay It Forward and A.I. Artificial Intelligence, later taking a hiatus to study acting at NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts.
After returning to Hollywood, Osment took on more adult roles in films such as Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile and most recently appeared in the 2024 thriller Blink Twice. Despite a lower public profile in recent years, he has remained active in both film and television.
He is the older brother of actress Emily Osment, known for her role in Hannah Montana. The siblings, both former child stars, have often supported one another professionally and personally.
This is not Osment’s first run-in with law enforcement. He previously received probation following a 2006 drink-driving incident and was involved in a verbal dispute at an airport in 2018.
