Jonathan Lipnicki reflects on his career 29 years after his breakout role in Jerry Maguire. Lipnicki played Ray Boyd, the son of Dorothy Boyd (Renée Zellweger), and Ray became close with Tom Cruise's titular character in the 1996 movie. As a child actor, Lipnicki also starred in Stuart Little, The Little Vampire, Like Mike, and Stuart Little 2. He later took a break from acting and more recently appeared in the TBS reality hoax series The Joe Schmo Show.

While speaking with People, Lipnicki reflected on the "really good things that happened when I was younger" while admitting that his career is currently not where he wants it to be. He reveals that he has turned down several movies within the past year. Despite some of the setbacks he has had since his days of being a child actor, Lipnicki remains confident that "the best is yet to come" in his acting career.
