What child star hasn’t been in a movie in 13 years, but will be in two, count ‘em, two Oscar contenders this season, with a pivital role in one of them?
I will offer only one hint (not a great one)… Summer 2005.

“Two hours in the labyrinth of Paramount’s Avarice…. It was my first–and my last–IMAX venture. Haven’t been to a 3-D movie in years, and it’s bye-bye to THAT scathing visual transgression for the remainder of MY lifetime… It was an unceasing, unrelenting, take-no-audience-prisoners audial and visual back-alley mugging for two hours… I have been beaten up many times; I know what it feels like: this was a two-hour assault. I weep, as Jesus wept, for the generations that will grow up thinking this is what it means to “go to the movies.” I am near-on 79, and I [understand] that this is a generational opinion, but I do not think any sensible person not of a tot age where videogame… overkill is pro forma, could confuse the IMAX “experience” with a Saturday matinee outing. The term “author” as regards Summer Blockbuster movies, is not only moot, it is Urdu. Mountains heave mightily, and give birth to volcanic ant-hills.”

“One of the things I wish I could do in my life would be to watch this film through somebody else’s eyes. I just can’t. I still see it as just a giant mess, and other people are seeing that it has a shape. That’s really exciting, because I still have a hard time seeing it clearly.”
~ Sarah Polley’s Greatest Wish About Stories We Tell
What about Summer ’05?
Are you saying the last time we saw them in a movie was 1993?
Jackie Earle Haley.
And it’s going to be interesting to see how he’s changed in the interim.
ALL THE KING’S MEN and LITTLE CHILDREN are his two end-of-the-year films, for the record.
I just met one of his BAD NEWS BEARS co-stars recently, Chris Barnes, who played Tanner. One of the highlights of my recent time on movie sets, I must say.
Jackie Cooper.
Drew Barrymore.
Chris Barnes was on a movie set? Is he back in front of the camera, too? Tanner is one of the top 10 characters in movie history, for what it’s worth.
And I don’t get your “summer 2005″ hint – because the “Bad News Bears” remake NEVER HAPPENED.
Corey Haim
Brokeback Mountain.
But then isn’t that the answer to EVERYTHING?
Kind of cheating when Moriarty just swoops in with the inside scoop like that.
Shirley Temple.
Mickey Rooney in the potential Oscar winner: NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM.
Will be his most dazzling cinematic performance since…uhm…THE DOMINO PRINCIPLE…
Yes, Jackie Earle Haley, who was good in “Bad News Bears”, but was fantastic in “Breaking Away”. That was the last great film of the 70′s (in my opinion). And all you Brokeback fans, “Breaking Away” features a young Dennis Quaid in one of his best performances.
I haven’t seen the movie but I have seen Dennis Quaid’s shirtless picture there. Hmmm..me likey.

Whatever happened to Charlie Korsmo? He was pretty good in Dick Tracy and What About Bob.
I have no idea who that is. I mean, I figure he’s from The Bad News Bears, but… yeah.
Charlie Korsmo had a supporting role in “Can’t Hardly Wait,” which is an unfairly overlooked teen comedy. I believe he was the nerd who ended up singing “Paradise City.”
Man, I shit you not….I was JUST wondering what ever happened to Haley. Glad to see he’s:
A) Still alive.
B) Getting some work!
I didn’t actually know the answer, the_keoki, until I did a little legwork and guessed.
And no, Chris Barnes wasn’t in front of a camera. He’s an assistant director now, and I met him on the set of UNACCOMPANIED MINORS. What’s crazy is that he’ll straight up deny being Tanner when you mention it to him, but there’s no mistaking it. He’s that Chris Barnes, and there’s still a hell of a lot of Tanner in him.
Eric: That was Korsmo, but man, “Can’t Hardly Wait” was EIGHT years ago!
Drew: Yeah, that sounds like the Barnes I’ve heard about. There were some “where are they now” articles done for the 25th and 30th anniversaries of “Bears,” and he always refused to take part.
