In Hollywood, it would be tough for even the most seasoned actor to ever get the opportunity to share screen time with stars such as Will Smith, Charlize Theron, and Sandra Bullock.

For Texas native Jae Head, it all happened before his 13th birthday.

Jae, 13, who lives in the Texas Hill Country town of Goldthwaite, started his career in the entertainment industry in 2005. He was featured in one episode of the CBS comedy series “How I Met Your Mother.”

Jae got a break when he landed a role on the NBC show “Friday Night Lights.” Creator Peter Berg then cast him in his 2008 superhero movie “Hancock” opposite Smith and Theron.

In his most recent film, “The Blind Side,” which was just released on DVD, Jae plays S.J. Tuohy, the son of Sean and Leigh Anne (Tim McGraw and Bullock).

Based on a true story, “The Blind Side” follows the Tuohy family as they open their hearts and home to an at-risk teenager named Michael Oher (Quinton Aaron). Oher is currently an NFL football player for the Baltimore Ravens.

“It was so much fun to film ‘The Blind Side,'” said Jae. “I'm really happy for Sandra.”

Bullock, who had won a Golden Globe for her role at the time of this interview, also earned an Academy Award two weeks ago for her portrayal Leigh Anne, the no-nonsense matriarch of her Southern family.

As S.J., Jae says shooting a movie like “The Blind Side” was a dream come true.

“I always wanted to be in a football movie,” said Jae, who names the Philadelphia Eagles as his favorite pro team. “Football is my favorite sport.”

Despite his love for the game, football was not something Jae was destined to play. Born with a severe heart defect, Jae's physical activities have been limited his entire life.

When Jae learned about the audition for “The Blind Side,” it was like the next best thing.

“They were really looking for a small energetic kid and I got the part,” Jae said. “I was able to be around all these football players.”
