Devon Sawa started acting on stage when he was eleven. At 14, he was the advertising spokeschild for Kenner's Nerf Toys. He had a small role in the Canadian fantasy series The Odyssey, and a larger role in KidZone, a Canadian docudrama about high school, which aired in America as Kerrisdale High. Sawa broke into movies as the quarterback in Little Giants (1994), and then kissed Christina Ricci in two 1995 flicks, Casper (he played the living boy who became the ghost) and Now and Then, where she was the young Rosie O'Donnell. After his first few film credits, Sawa became a teen heartthrob and Tiger Beat coverboy.

In 1996, Sawa played Robin Hood with a computer in Showtime's Robin of Locksley with Sarah Chalke, who had been in KidZone with Sawa several years earlier. He stole The Boys Club from Sean Penn, had a jones for nature in Wild America, and was featured in Eminem's video "Stan." Sawa's solid work in thrillers Idle Hands, Final Destination, The Guilty, and Extreme Ops, and the frat comedy Slackers have made him a bonafide star.
