Yeah, I have heard Jackie Earle Haley's story and it is a sad one that ends triumphantly, but I am not about to say he did anything special in Little Children outside of act creepy. However, I seem to be in the minority as he earned an Oscar nomination for his role as a child molester and has now landed three new roles. Yeah, three!

The first pic is one of Will Ferrell's new comedies called Semi-Pro in which he is playing a fan who wins a basketball-throwing contest.

The next film is Winged Creatures, in which he will join Kate Beckinsale, Forest Whitaker, Dakota Fanning and Guy Pearce for director Rowan Woods. In that film he will be creepy again as he is portraying an abusive husband and angry father.

Finally is Bolden! for director Dan Pritzker. The period biopic stars Anthony Mackie as Buddy Bolden, the first man of New Orleans jazz. Haley will portray a judge at the center of most of the lucrative but corrupt activities in New Orleans — notably brothels and Battles Royale, when black men were drugged and forced to fight one another before an all-white male audience.
