Jimmy Bennett Biography (2)

Hailing from Huntington Beach, California, Jimmy Bennett has racked up a number of impressive credits that have put him in the forefront as one of the industry's leading child actors. Making his feature film debut alongside Eddie Murphy in the box office hit Daddy Day Care, Bennett quickly followed up that success with an emotionally powerful turn in Asia Argento's The Heart is Deceitful Above All Things, the harrowing coming-of-age narrative by J.T. Leroy that was an official selection at the 2004 Cannes Film Festival.

Bennett has held his own working with the biggest names in the industry, co-starring with Bruce Willis in Hostage and Ryan Reynolds in Michael Bay's remake of the 1979 horror classic, The Amityville Horror. Most recently he was seen in Firewall with Harrison Ford and Virginia Madsen.

Bennett's stage presence has also transcended the big screen to the small screen and even off-screen. He lent his vocal talents to Robert Zemeckis for The Polar Express and to Disney's Winnie the Pooh: Springtime with Roo. His television credits include appearances on CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, Judging Amy, The Guardian, Strong Medicine, Everwood and the television movie, The Detective.

Bennett is currently working on the production of Evan Almighty, the sequel to the hit movie Bruce Almighty, starring opposite Steve Carell.
