Two years later he starred in Steven Spielberg’s A.I. and has worked consistently as a voice actor since then.
He has also appeared in the television series The Kominsky Method and What We Do In The Shadows.
Osment is among the thousands of people who lost their homes in January’s devastating Eaton Fire in the Altadena area near Los Angeles.
In 2006, Osment was charged with drunken driving and marijuana possession after crashing his car into a postbox in the Los Angeles area and breaking a rib.
