Jonathan Lipnicki made quite the impact with the roles he held in early Hollywood classics . Best known for his portrayal of Ray Boyd in the Tom Cruise and Renee Zellweger starrer Jerry Maguire (1996) and that of George Little in the Stuart Little film series. But what is the child actor up to now?

 

Jonathan Lipnicki has moved away from Hollywood

Jonathan Lipnicki was originally a native of Los Angeles which is what kickstarted his career as a child actor in Hollywood. Characterised by his blonde spiked hair and innocent demeanour, Lipnicki made quite the splash as George Little and Ray Boyd. The actor, however - still bitten by the acting bug - has moved away from Hollywood. Having relocated to Oklahoma, Lipnicki is more than happy pursuing his acting career via online auditions, wanting to only move back when he lands something meaty.

 


Speaking to E News! he said, "I ended up in Oklahoma. I love it. It's so peaceful for me. I just hit a point where I realized I was self-taping everything. Everything I do is either Zoom or self-tape anyway. I wanted to see what it's like to live somewhere else."

What else is Jonathan Lipnicki up to?

Jonathan Lipnicki is not just actively pursuing his acting career via auditions. The former child actor has also been giving acting lessons in the Sooner State along with producing with Buffalo 8 Productions. Besides this, Lipnicki is also trained in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, something he has staunchly practiced for 15 years.


Speaking about his perspective in life, he said, "I love it, and I found out what I wanted to do for the rest of my life when I was 5 years old. Its the best job in the world...If you have anything else in your life that makes you just as happy, do that. It can be awful if it isn't the thing you really want to dedicate your life to. Life is stress, right? What are you willing to stress over? I'm willing to stress over this forever."
