Child stars have a new way of announcing to the world that they are now men: they star on Broadway.

Haley Joel Osment, now 20, the star of The Sixth Sense who has largely disappeared from the public eye ever since his voice changed halfway through filming Secondhand Lions, is making his Broadway debut in David Mamet’s American Buffalo.

Unlike Harry Potter’s Daniel Radcliffe, Osment is expected to remain fully clothed.

Osment will appear alongside John Leguizamo and comedian Cedric The Entertainer in the revival, which opens at the Belasco Theatre on November 17th.

Law Abiding Citizen See It or Skip It
F. Gary Gray's latest effort, Law Abiding Citizen, starring Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler, is a knockout! Exhilirating, wry and breathcatchingly paced, it's a stellar accomplishment for everyone involved. Hell yeah you should see it!

The Boys Are Back See It or Skip It
Scott Hicks, the director of Shine, and Clive Owen teamed up for this gloriously beautiful if underwhelming project. It's not that it's bad, it's just not that memorable and with such supreme talent attached, I was hoping for and expecting a lot more.

Jennifer's Body See it or Skip it
Oh, Diablo Cody, why'd you have to do it? I love you so long...and then you made this. Megan Fox does what she always does, she looks hot. At least there's that. Sophmoric, unfunny and obsessively idiosyncratic, it's a painful movie going experience.

See It or Skip It: World's Greatest Dad
Chocolate and peanut butter. Spaghetti and meatballs. Bobcat Goldthwait and profanity. Two great tastes that taste great together. Gone is the Bobcat of the Police Academy movies and in his stead is a fantastic writer-director who's able to orchestrate the most brilliantly, hilarious vulgarity imaginable. World's Greatest Dad is a fantastic dark comedy (very dark) that features Robin Williams' best performance since Good Will Hunting. See it!
