Remember that child actor from the 90s who captured our hearts with his performances? Well, he looks completely different now. Devon Sawa, known for his role in Final Destination, has come a long way since his early days in Hollywood. He recently made an appearance at New York Comic Con, looking dapper in a grey blazer and black t-shirt, complete with chunky black glasses. He joined several other famous faces on a panel dedicated to the streaming platform Shudder.
But let's rewind a bit and take a look at how Devon got his start in the industry. He first appeared on our screens at the age of 14, and two years later, he made his debut in the film Little Giants. However, it was his role as Casper McFadden in Casper that catapulted him to fame in 1995. He starred alongside Christina Ricci, Bill Pullman, and other big names in this family-friendly movie. But as his career took off, Devon found himself wanting to take on more serious and edgy roles to break away from the innocent image he had gained from Casper.
In 2000, he landed the lead role in the supernatural horror film Final Destination. This marked a turning point in his career, and he also made a memorable appearance in the music video for Eminem's hit song Stan. But after a few more roles, Devon decided to take a step back from acting. He revealed that this decision was not entirely his choice, but it gave him the chance to focus on his personal life and sobriety. He took a break from the industry and even traveled to southeast Asia with his wife, producer Dawni Sahanovitch, whom he married in 2013.
However, Devon couldn't stay away from acting for long, and he made a comeback with roles in NCIS: Los Angeles, Nikita, Somewhere Between, and a cameo in the popular show Hacks. He also landed a major role in the Chucky series, which unfortunately got canceled after three seasons. In addition to his successful acting career, Devon is also a proud father to two children, son Hudson and daughter Charlotte. When asked if he would encourage his kids to follow in his footsteps, he shared his advice for parents who have aspiring child actors. He recommended keeping them away from the film industry at a young age and encouraging them to explore their passion through theater and stage performances instead.
Devon's journey in Hollywood has had its ups and downs, but he has come out stronger and wiser. And who knows, maybe we'll see his daughter following in his footsteps in the future. As for now, we can't wait to see what Devon has in store for us next.
