About Emily Osment
Emily Jordan Osment is an American actress, singer, and songwriter that began her career as a child actor in the late 1990s appearing in numerous films and television shows. Her breakthrough role came in the film series Spy Kids, where she landed the role of Gerti Giggles. In the early 2000s, she played the role of Lilly Truscott in the Disney fan-favorite Hannah Montana that brought her a lot of success. As a recording artist, she has signed a record deal with the label Wind Up records and has released one studio album and many hit singles.
She was born on March 10, 1992, in Los Angeles, California. She’s the youngest of two children to Michael and Theresa Osment. Her father was an occasional actor and director that worked for many films, with the most notable being Soccer Mom, while her mother was an English teacher. She was raised as a Roman Catholic and has an older brother, Haley, who is also an actor that received an Academy Award nomination for his work in The Sixth Sense.
“I grew up around strong women, and I love working with strong women,” Emily Osment has said.
She began acting at a very young age, around five. While acting in films and series, as well as making appearances on various reality programs, Emily was attending the Laurel Springs and Flintridge Preparatory School. “I used to go to a regular, private high school, but I was only there a week out of the month. I was out of school three weeks out of the month, and so I would have everything faxed to me and e-mailed, and it made it really difficult,” Osment has commented.
After her graduation from high school in the early 2010s, she enrolled at the Occidental College, from which she received her college degree in 2015. Long before that, she began acting in 1997. She made her entry into the entertainment industry as a cast member of commercials for the flower delivery company FTD.
The wealth of this teen sensation comes from her eminent acting and singing skills that she has displayed throughout her career. In 1998, Emily landed her first main role in the short series Biba Bear, where she played the voice role of the protagonist. She then appeared on 3rd Rock from the Sun, and Touched by an Angel and made her feature film debut in the 1999 The Secret Life of Girls. In 2002, she won the auditions for the role of Gerti Giggles in the action-comedy Spy Kids 2 and then reprised her role in the sequel released a year later.
After gaining some recognition with her role of Gerti Giggles, she became a main cast member of the 2006 Disney series Hannah Montana alongside other rising stars Miley Cyrus and Mitchel Musso. “Disney Channel is celebrities coated in sugar. Everything is really happy; everything is really bright. Disney definitely sets up a fan base for you,” Osment has said on her time at Disney.
She played the role of Lilly Truscott for five consecutive years and appeared in all 4 seasons and 98 episodes of the show. Throughout the late 2000s and early 2010s, she reprised her role in the acclaimed films Hannah Montana: The Movie and The Suite Life of Zack and Cody.
Around the same time, she became a singer that took part in several songs of the Hannah Montana soundtrack albums. In 2008, she released her debut single “If I Don’t Have You” in collaboration with Mitchel Musso.
After a few more singles that found success in Canada and Japan among other countries, she released her first extended play All the Right Wrongs in October 2009, followed by her debut studio album Fight or Flight from September 28, 2010. While touring the world to promote her music projects, Emily continued to take part in films and television series.
