Recognize This Guy?

It's Jonathan Lipnicki. Yes the cute little kid from "Jerry Maguire" (and for those real film buffs, "Like Mike"). I wanted to watch just the first few minutes, but I ended up watching the whole thing (which turned out to be a little over 2 hours). I really like this movie for many reasons. First, this kid was just so cute. I love his little facts, his lisp, and his over-sized glasses. Second, the film reminded me of the respectable Tom Cruise. I actually believed that Tom Cruise was a sports agent capable of making any girl fall in love with him. It was a glimpse into the past that I only wish he continued.
But back to Lipnicki. It's sad to see this kid go to waste. He had roles in other films including the "Stuart Little" films and "Little Vampire." Other than that, he's been M.I.A. and it's absolutely sad to see child actors take this road. Let's hope he's not getting a DUI (like Haley Joel Osmont). Let's also hope that Abigail Breslin has a better career than this cute kid. Then again, I guess that's all he is (or was): a cute kid that won us over for being exactly that...cute.
