Haley's guest
starring television credits include the two part special of "The
Pretender", playing a kidnaped prodigy whose genius is exploited
through mind control; "Chicago Hope", where he found himself
stuck in an elevator with a corpse: a true-life story of Lou Gehrig's
Disease on "Touched by an Angel": and a two-part special
of "Walker, Texas Ranger" playing the title role, Lucas,
a parentless boy dying of AIDS. Haley's most recent TV guest appearance
was on "Ally McBeal", where he played a dying boy who
wanted to sue God.
Haley's starring roles in television films include the Hallmark
Hall of Fame's presentation of "The Ransom of Red Chief"
with Christopher Lloyd and Michael Jeter, and NBC's science fiction
thriller, "The Lake", where he played two roles, one good,
the other evil. He supported the cast of TNT's "Last Stand
at Saber River" with Tom Selleck and the Hallmark presentation
of "Cab to Canada" with Maureen O'Hara, for both of which
he was honored with Young Star Awards.
As if his early years in television weren't busy enough, Haley took
on the big screen, winning the youth in Film Award for his performance
as Forrest, Jr. in the critically-acclaimed and Oscar-winning film,
"FORREST GUMP". Additional feature film credits include
Nora Ephron's "MIXED NUTS","FOR BETTER OR WORDS"
which was the directorial debut of Jason Alexander, and Norman Jewison's
"BOGUS", in which he starred as a displaced orphan who
was obsessed with magic and kept an invisible best friend, played
by Gerard Depardieu. The film also starred Oscar-winner Whoopi Goldberg.
Haley covered even more entertainment ground when Disney asked him
to be the voice of Chip in "A BEAUTY AND THE BEAST CHRISTMAS"
and the voice of Zephyr in "THE HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME DEUX".
In 1998 Haley took on a WWII project entitled "I'LL REMEMBER
APRIL", a story about four boys whose friendships are tested
by war tensions on the homefront. Then came the role of Cole Sear
in the record breaking and internationally acclaimed film, "THE
SIXTH SENSE". For this performance Haley has received numerous
film critic awards, a nomination to the Golden Globes, the Screen
Actors Guild Awards and The Academy Awards.
"PAY IT FORWARD", an adaptation of Catherine Ryan Hyde's
novel, was the firs of three films he tackled in 2000. The second
film took him to Poland where he filmed "EDGES OF THE LORD",
playing a Jewish boy sent into the countryside to hide with a Catholic
family during the Nazi occupation. He just completed working on
his third film for 2000, "A.I." to be directed by Steven
Spielberg.
