Biographie

Issu d'une famille de la classe moyenne sans lien avec le milieu du cinéma, sa carrière débute en 1947 lorsqu'il est engagé pour jouer le rôle d'Alec Brooke jeune dans L'Île enchantée (High Barbaree), en raison de sa ressemblance avec l'acteur Van Johnson[2]. Il fut repéré dans son école de Culver City qui était située à proximité des studios de la MGM[3].

Engagé sous contrat, il est formé à la Little Red School House aux côtés d'autres jeunes acteurs tels que Roddy McDowall et Elizabeth Taylor[1].

Dès lors, Jimmy est régulièrement engagé pour des rôles de jeune garçon en raison de son aisance devant les caméras. Ainsi, dans son édition du , le quotidien Daily Variety souligne la qualité de son jeu dans le film Louisa (1950) aux côtés de Ronald Reagan : « Jimmy Hunt's performance in Louisa is a model for all moppets who overact to ponder. » (« L'interprétation de Jimmy Hunt dans Louisa doit servir d'exemple pour inciter les cabotins qui surjouent à être plus mesurés. »)

Il décide d'interrompre sa carrière d'acteur à l'âge de 14 ans, fatigué des rôles de plus en plus exigeants qui lui sont proposés, et désirant consacrer plus de temps au sport[3].

Après ses études, il fait son service militaire en Allemagne à Herzl, près de Nuremberg, où il travaille notamment sur des projets confidentiels de décryptage. Il y fait la connaissance de sa future épouse, Roswitha, une Allemande. Ils se marient en 1963 puis rentrent aux États-Unis avec sa fille issue d'un précédent mariage. Ils auront ensuite deux fils, Randy et Ron[3].

Après 1954, il n'a fait qu'une apparition dans le remake L'invasion vient de Mars (Invaders from Mars, 1986) dans lequel son personnage, retrouvant la colline où a atterri la soucoupe volante, affirme « ne pas y avoir mis les pieds depuis 40 ans » (plus précisément, 33 ans séparent le film original de son remake).
