James 'Jimmy' Bennett was born on February 9, 1996 in Seal Beach, California. With just a mere year in the business, Jimmy has already achieved an impressive resume with range and versatility. In just one short year he has earned numerous film and substantial television credits along with awards for his efforts. He has appeared in guest starring roles on "Guardian, The" (2001), "Judging Amy" (1999), "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation" (2000) and most recently "Everwood" (2002), and has been cast in some of the most successful productions this decade. At age six Jimmy said he wanted to be on TV. This aspiration soon came true when he began booking commercials, doing nine in two years; major motion pictures weren't far from reality now. Jimmy has also enjoyed doing voice-over roles, a fun aspect of the television and movie industry. He has lent his voice to Rerun in I Want a Dog for Christmas, Charlie Brown (2003) (TV), Roo in Winnie the Pooh: Springtime with Roo (2004) (V), Lonely Boy in Polar Express, The (2004) and is currently once again providing the voice of Roo, this time for Pooh's Heffalump Movie (2005). Jimmy recently completed Hostage (2005/I), a crime thriller starring Bruce Willis, and Amityville Horror, The (2005), an update to the 1979 horror classic.
