Hey, everyone, remember Haley Joel Osment? That little kid from The Sixth Sense who was adorable and also sort of creepy at the same time? Well, he's all grown up now, and after getting his degree at NYU's Tisch School of the Arts in 2010 - not to mention a DUI and drug possession charge back in 2006 - it seems like he's ready to get back in the biz. Good for him!
According to Deadline, Osment has joined the cast of IFC's upcoming miniseries The Spoils of Babylon, which is being produced by Funny or Die's Will Ferrell and Adam McKay. Ferrell will also star, alongside Kristen Wiig, Tobey Maguire, and Osment.
As for the project itself - it will consist of six parts, and chronicle the "sexy and dramatic" lives of a rich family, the Morehouses. The plot centers on an orphan named Devon (Maguire) who, as a kid, was taken in by a future oil tycoon Jonas Morehouse and his daughter, Cynthia (Wiig) - now, as adults, the two now run Morehouse Enterprises together, while fighting off lots of sexual tension. Osment will portray Cynthia's "devilish" son, who is beginning to join the family business himself.
Sounds great, but we feel it's our duty to say: Never forget...
