Mini biography
Devon Edward Sawa was born on September 7, 1978 in Vancouver, B.C., Canada. His love of acting began when he starred in a school play in kindergarten, and since then, he has had many roles on TV and in movies. About three years ago, he landed a part on the Canadian TV show _"Kidzone" (1992)_ , on which all of the characters used their real names. The show lasted for a season. He also appeared as Yudo on another Canadian show entitled "The Odyssey" (1992). This show also starred Ashleigh Aston Moore, who would later become his co-star in the movie Now and Then (1995). Playing Casper as real boy in Casper (1995) was Devon's big break. Although he only had about five minutes of screen time, it was his biggest role yet. 'Casper' took so long to release (due to the special effects that were needed) that Devon had time to complete another movie, Little Giants (1994), before it came into theaters. In 'Little Giants', he plays Junior Floyd, the quarterback for the Little Giants. In 'Now and Then', Devon plays Scott Wormer, the town bully. In this film, he is reunited with his 'Casper' co-star, Christina Ricci and they share a second on-screen kiss in the movie. Devon Sawa's acting career is just beginning, and you can expect to see him in many more movies in the years to come.

Personal quotes
"Live long, play hard... oh wait that's Nike"
"I don't know if I have ever been in love."
"My fans made me. But sometimes there's some weird stories about me, my favorite color, the kind of girls I like, all of that stuff that's just not true and I never said it. All I ask is that my fans don't believe everything they read."
"There are tons of things that have been written about me on the Internet that are total crap. I'll go on to these fan sites and think, where the hell did that come from? All of a sudden I have two gerbils and four goldfish? I mean, really, two gerbils? And they're named Coke and Pepsi or something like that. Come on!"

He got the part of Stan in the Eminem video, because Dr. Dre saw him in Final Destination and loved it.
