When he was only ten years old, Giovanni Ribisi made his acting debut on the Michael Landon show, Highway to Heaven. He played a young cancer patient on this two-part episode about a summer camp for children with cancer, which fans have claimed is one of the most tear-jerking pieces of television ever produced.
