Sometimes it seems like this site is about Miley Cyrus, the girl just can’t stay out of the news. So it’s probably time to pay some attention to her co-star on Hannah Montana; Emily Osment. Why? Because she might have more potential than Miley in the long run.

It’s not really that big a surprise that Emily went into the acting business, her brother is of course Haley Joel Osment who has had quite a number of big movies at his young age. Her dad is also somewhat of an actor, not really a successful career but he gets small roles once in a while; he’s probably too busy managing Haley’s and Emily’s career.

Emily’s first big role was actually quite noticable; she played the character of Gertie Giggles In Spy Kids 2: Island of Lost Dreams, she revisited that role in Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over but that was just a very short appearance at the end. She got cast for that part without Robert Rodriguez knowing that she’s Haley Joel’s sister so it’s not really a case of her name helping her. She simply auditioned, Rodriguez liked her so she got the job. That’s a weird thing though, she’s only asked about her brother being an actor in passing. I’ve rarely actually heard people saying that she has to thank her brother for her career. That’s probably due to the fact that they’re not that far apart in age and that she’s having a completely different career than her brother. They’re active in completely different sections of Hollywood if you look at it. (more…)
