Jackie Earle HaleyJackie Earle Haley is best known for his portrayal of motorcycle-riding, cigarette-smoking little leaguer Kelly Leak in The Bad News Bears series of films. One of the most talented child actors of the 1970s, Haley also appeared in various guest roles on TV, as well as in the 1977 post-nuclear holocaust film Damnation Alley. Perhaps Haley's most outstanding role was that of "Moocher," the hot-tempered runt in the critically acclaimed 1979 film Breaking Away, however, his most underrated role was in "Day of the Locust," where he brilliantly plays a monstrous child actor. No matter what role he played, his presence on screen far outshone his years of experience. He was also the original voice for Tony The Tiger Jr and the voice of Jaime Boyle on Hanna-Barbera's Wait Till your Father Gets Home. Currently, as of March 2005, Jackie Earle Haley is in New Orleans working on the film All The Kings Men.
