Haley Joel Osment is back! It always warms my heart to see a child actor carry that work on into adulthood. The "Sixth Sense" star has lent his voice to a fair few video games and an animated film or two, but he's been pretty quiet on the acting front in recent years.
Osment is now in the midst of staging his comeback. He's got a couple of smaller-market efforts in the works right now, and The Hollywood Reporter confirmed yesterday he'll also star in "Sex Ed," a raunchy high school comedy. He'll play a college grad who is forced into the position of having to teach a sexual education course. There's a catch though: he's a virgin. A wacky cast of characters assembles around him, including "an unlikely mentor in a blues bar, a ruthless enemy in the local PTA, and a gorgeous Polish girl for whom English is a distant second language."

"It's a true story," Osment explained. "Some teenage members of the Hitler Youth in 1941 were listening to secret BBC broadcasts on the radio. They were picking up the BBC in Hamburg, and they were hearing all these things about the war that obviously the Nazi propaganda machine wasn't relating to the public, and they ultimately rebelled and started a pamphlet campaign against Hitler."
