Career
Career
At age nine, Oliveri starred as Paul Bard in an episode of ABC Afterschool Special. Two years later he made a guest appearance on Friday the 13th: The Series as Mike Carlson. That same year, he starred as Young Nelson in the television movie, Ask Me Again. Also that year, he landed the role of Nick Szalinski, the son of Rick Moranis's character in Honey, I Shrunk the Kids. For his performance, he was nominated for a Young Artist Award and a Saturn Award. In 1990, Oliveri starred as Danny Flocken in the pilot of The Flockens, a show about raising four boys, which also starred Miriam Flynn and Bruce McGill as the parents. The show was not picked up and dismissed. He starred in a 1990 episode of the TV series Monsters and then landed the role of Kevin in Edward Scissorhands with Johnny Depp and Winona Ryder. He later starred in an episode of ABC Weekend Special as Ryan in Ralph S. Mouse. The next year, Oliveri reprised his role as Nick Szalinski in 1992's Honey, I Blew Up the Kid. His character had matured since the previous film and took a liking to Mandy Park, which was Keri Russell's film debut. Oliveri was asked to reprise his role as Szalinski again two years later for the 3D science fiction short film used in the Honey, I Shrunk the Audience! attraction, at several Disney theme parks, from 1994–2010.
