August 2, 1999 –
M. Night Shyamalan’s psychological thriller, The Sixth Sense, starring Bruce Willis, Haley Joel Osment and Toni Collette opened in the US on this date.
Reportedly, Haley Joel Osment got the role of Cole Sear for one of three reasons. First, he was best for it. Second, he was the only boy at auditions who wore a tie. Third, director M. Night Shyamalan was surprised when he asked Osment if he read his part. Osment replied, “I read it three times last night.” Shyamalan was impressed, saying, “Wow, you read your part three times?” To which Osment replied, “No, I read the script three times.“
