Born in Los Angeles, December 4, 1939, James Walter Hunt was six when a talent scout came by his school "about six blocks from MGM" and picked him to test for a part in a picture.
When studios needed a young boy, Hunt was on the spot: he was one of the youngsters in the film Cheaper By The Dozen, and he was Ronald Reagen`s son in Louisa. He was a Western kid in Lone Hand and Saddle Tramp with Joel McCrea, one of Hunt`s personal favorite actors. In The Fuller Brush Man, with Red Skelton, he was the mean little kid.
He was a natural and for seven years, he moved from studio to studio and film to film, finally landing the lead in Invaders From Mars, the picture for which he is best-remembered. But by then, Ironically, he`d had enough.
Currently, Jim is an industrial tool and supply salesman. He works in and around the San Fernando Valley. He is a Simi Valley resident of over 20 years, and ironically he lives less than 5 miles away from the Ronald Reagen Library, whom Jim co-starred with in the film Louisa. He keeps busy with his church, job and family. He is a member of The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter-Day-Saints for the last 20 years. Also, Jim keeps very busy visiting his 6 grandchildren and 2 great-grandchildren.
