I had the biggest crush on him when he played Casper 😭. “Can I keep you?” Yes dead boy. Yes you can
😂
Me too😂
My childhood memories 🥰🥰
omg same!!!
@@marklopez7775it's literally Eminem for almost 7 minutes screaming and talking like a girl. It's hilarious
Final Destination is a solid 90% at least. Those critics are full of themselves. One of my favorite thrillers. Devon made that franchise iconic🔥
I was thirteen and made my
Mom take me since it was rated R. I almost pooped my pants and we left before the teacher died in her house.
they should make a movie about stan
Great film when they get off the plane then it blows up, that part blew me away
@@Mike-cs1ft oh really the plot of the movie ...i never seen that part ..when was that
@laverdadescatolica5Let's pretend that "Stan" is "Alex" after Final Destination, since the song came out a few months after Final Destination
Hes very healthy looking and im glad he was a childhood favorite glad hes okay his comeback in chucky is awesome
It’s funny that he did those roles to escape the heartthrob thing, because Idle Hands and Final Destination just made me like him more! Glad he keeps coming back in Chucky 😊
Bro, these 90s stars are making me feel super fucking old bro. I’m at a point in life where I’m watching the teenagers and young adults that was on my TV as a little kid be old people now it’s beautiful and scary at the same time
and you turn on the radio to the "classic rock" station and they are playing Nirvana, wtf happened? 😅
Man, I didn’t realize he was such a HUGE part of my childhood! Wow! Always loved him! I watched SO many of those movies and some are still my favorite! ❤
same. i only knew idle hands, black friday and chucky. i knew he was in the first FD but ive never seen it or just dont remember it because that highway scene in 2 still has me staying way back from log or phone pole trucks lol
Final Destination and his performance as Stan were my personal favorites.
Little Giants was my movie back in the day!🎥🏈
Same, I had SUCH a a crush on Devon thanks to that movie!
My crush was Shawna Waldron as Becky “Icebox” O’Shea!🥰🏈
Me too bro... 😏😏✊🏾✊🏾@@RickMichaels-if5eq
GIANTS GIANTS (HELP US GOD)🙂🤣
When I was a teenager I met Shawna Waldron at a summer camp and spent quite a bit of time with her. She taught me how to throw a football. I was a big fan of Little Giants, so I thought that was pretty cool. She's a super nice person.
Wild America doesnt get tha recognition it deserves
This man had my heart since Casper... now I'm 37 XD
Omg same! From Casper and now and then I had the biggest crush 😭
Same. I'm 38 and he's STILL my favorite actor.
Same here I'm 35 this year 😅 I made my parents in buying the VCR tape like prolly months after watching it in cinema 😘
Same here! He stole my heart ❤️ I always did think he sounded different as a ghost and then as human 😆 But a few years back I did find out it was two different people with the voices.
I just turned 40 btw 😅
Same!!!!!!
Idol hands is a great movie with him. Totally underrated.
Had to scroll way too far down for this comment. Loved Idle Hands.
Couldn't agree more. In my top 10 of all time for sure.
Huh, didn't know stan was in idle hands. You learn something everyday
I've watched it probably 30 times.
yes!! @@hiro0078
My childhood crush..🥰 started when he played Human Casper ..the slowmo moment🥰
Same hun, same. That’s why my son is now named Casper.
Little Giants did it for me !! ❤
@@Kisses2die4yes!!!!
Same
Yesss when he was like can I keep you 😅❤ I was like hell yea you can keep me
I’m a 90s baby and Devon Sawa was my fave crush/actor. I love to see how down to Earth he is! Also, they never mentioned Extreme Ops. Love that movie!
I was smiling so hard through this whole video. 🥰 Devon was such a huge part of my childhood. I'll never forget 6 year old me seeing the human Casper reveal on the big screen! I never knew what a major crush was until that moment 😂
Same! He’s so charismatic 🤩
If you’ve not seen it yet, you should watch his interview w Michael Rosenbaum on Rosenbaums podcast “inside of you”.
Dude seems like a fun, humble guy...
Yes very normal and himself.
Devon is a trail blazer man people just don’t know how long he’s been around he is a great actor
Casper made me cry every time. The music, the scene at the end, it was my childhood film right there. A rare treasure for sure
Hello. Good afternoon. Do you know why I do not always love the Eminem song, Stan? It has sound effects of a girl screaming, it is too sad, plus its music video accompaniment is both controversial and sad at the same time.
Wild America and Now and Then are two of my favorite movies from childhood. All of these are classics. Glad to see Devon doing well.
Devon, JTT, Elijah Wood, and Jonathan Jackson. They were it when I was young. Adorable and talented.
And Johnathan Brandis! I hate that he felt so tormented..gone way too young.
@@Meg-A-Saurus Yes!!!!! I forgot about him. I loved his movies and he was so cute and such a talented actor.
@@wendybrown500 He really was!
He seems a lot cooler than I was expecting for some reason. First time actually seeing him talk outside of acting.. and in maybe twenty years 😅
A good friend of mine had him facetime me at a convention a couple months ago and he was the absolute best to chat with! Casper, Now and Then, Idle Hands, SLC Punk have forever been my top favs. I watch Idle Hands with my husband every October. It was such a treat to meet him over facetime. It was like he was calling an old friend and that old friend was me 😊❤ it was so cool!
My favorite! In the 90’s my mom use to scream Devon Sawa to me every time I walked into a room and I would turn red. Love him
Aww man I wanted to hear about Slackers! Lol that movie is a comedic gem
Can't believe it got left out...."they call me Cool Ethan" 😂
Idle Hands ftw !!!
He was my favorite childhood male actor, alongside Christina Ricci of course.
Christina Ricci's a man!?
Devon has and always will be a class act.
The fact that John Travolta agreed to do 'The Fanatic' shows alot of respect to Devon as an actor.
wicked film.
Grew up with Devon..ill be 40 on Friday & i definitely feel a kin with Mr. Sawa; Icon 4eva(throw bk too the 90's with my "4eva" 😂😂)❤❤🎉🎉
OMG!!! I was soooo in love with Devon as a young girl. I had all the bop posters on my walls and rewatched all of his movies on VHS over and over. I'm glad to see him doing well and still handsome all grown up. 👌🏻 TakeXare

@marklopez7775 Hello. I've always liked that song. I think it's meant to be satire.
My favorite line from Casper: “Can I keep you?”
I've always loved Devon Sawa! His birthday is the same as mine except different year. I'm exactly ten years older then him. My birthday is September 7th, 1968. His is 1978. One of my all time favorite movies is 'Final Destination'!
Oh man time just flew so fast.
Such a a great sit down retrospective. So kudos to ET and Devon Sawa. They should do more of these.
Yea, like their version of Vanity Fair’s retrospective, although I think I prefer this style better when the person they’re interviewing speaks to an interviewer instead of the camera.
Man, I forgot he was in so many movies before Final Destination…lots of childhood staples. And he’s having an absolute blast on Chucky, hope they renew it!
A Final Reunion would be great
Yes!!!! Agreed!❤
Frfr
I had the biggest crush on this guy as a kid. I LOVE THE LITTLE GIANTS + icebox !! Memories the good ole days.
Love Devon Sawa. Obsessed since a teen and he’s still a class act.
This man was influential in a fair chunk of my entire teens. Christina Ricci was my first crush. I was so jealous of him.
I literally grew up with this guy and I didn't know it. Even going back to the Nerf commercial. SLC Punk is one of my favorite movies. I didn't even piece together who he was throughout the years. Kind of weird. And the Stan video as well. Final Destination? That was him? It's kind of blowing my mind right now.
He’ll always be a heartthrob to me! I still have my wild America on VHS! 💜🙏
I was sooo in love with Devon when he was younger 😂 he looks very different now, but I can still go back to his old movies. Casper was my favourite ❤
he was so good as stan. the acting and lip-syncing was perfection.loved him on nikita too
Yeah!!! Low key happy Macaulay turned the opportunity down!!! 😂😂😂
@@treblelatrice926The Stan role though (you mean?)
From nerf to Casper and chunky, this guy has landed the most iconic roles out there and he’s so perfect in all of them!

@@marklopez7775 I love Eminem but I’m pretty selective love with the songs so don’t even know that one. I’ll just agree with you because it sounds like there’s a reason I don’t listen to that one.
@@kelleywyskiel3478 Hello. Good afternoon. My name is Brian López, and what is your favorite episode of My Gym Partner is a Monkey? Please let me know in the comments down below.
Idle hands, final destination, SLC punk, all those movies are 🔥
He gives a great interview.
Devon & Final destination is The GOAT🤟😎💖
It's funny you mentioned that because Devon gave me chills when he was in Eminem's "Stan" video playing the obsessed title character.
I've always loved that song and the video. Eminem is a true poet and storyteller 🙌🏼
Final Destination is one of the best horrors ever. The first and second one are absolutely awesome, it went downhill from there.
And people still, two decades later, change lanes when they see a truck carrying logs in front of them. That's how this movie messed us up. 😂
I love Devon Sawa so much! I hope he comes back to Chucky if Don Mancini makes a season 4!
He was great in Chucky! Playing multiple characters, too 👏
Don's having way too much fun thinking of new ways to kill off his characters. There's no way he won't be coming back.
He ruled the 90s & all of the movies he was in were GOLD, little giants, Casper, now & then, wild America… my god this guy is a legend
I was and still obsessed with Devon. Now and then is still one I watch every summer ❤ loved wild America too. Casper and idle hands are must watches every fall 🎃

The 90s kids Hollywood stars and the fandom without Social were just another level that time! They paved the way to a better landscape of movie and TV making today.
He is always one of my favourites childhood actors. I am still watching him on Chucky. He is amazing. I am glad that he turned out find the way he is.
Sawa will always be the reason why I do not drive behind truck hauling logs. Final destinations movies started with him. 😂
him saying that he hated being a heartthrob reminds me of Jonathan Brandis 😢💔 he wanted to break out of that too… obviously he went another way RIP
I’m glad that he’s still out there doing it! He always had this likability about him.
Idle Hands is still one of my favorites!
Devon is severely underrated! He's been incredible in every movie I've seen him in. Idle Hands is one of my favorites bc he fully committed and made it a legit movie. The way he was able to move his hand and his body followed was awesome! He's made every role genuine and believable
Devon was my first celebrity crush. Love so many of his projects
My first celebrity crush was Macaulay Culkin. Then the French kid singer, Jordy. Then I was mesmerized by Devon Sawa in Casper. Ultimately, I feel for Pocahontas' John Smith.
I definitely have a pattern!
Devon you had a major edge over every other 90’s “teen heartthrob” in my book. Was so “in love” with you as a teenager. You’ve grown into a wonderful person and always have been a great actor ❤. Sad that Robin of Locksley, Around the Fire and Who Are You People were not brought up.
Still remember him from the wild America movie ! Such a under rated movie !
I think it was called "Life on the line". I liked that with him in it. It was appropriate and genuine and serious. Well done!.
I was born in 1995, thankyou for making my childhood special! Now i have such great taste in movies 🍻❤
I remember how excited I was mailing off for his fan club and getting back a booklet on his life lol
Such a humble and well spoken person
I’m 32 and idle hands was my first purchase when I was like 12. Had such a crush on him
He aged so well
Love how nice he is he plays a villain and psychopathic characters yet he’s as chill as a popsicle
He is still so handsome!
He seems like a funny and cool fella.
Love him! Idle Hands is one of my favorite movies.
Now and Then was my FAVORITE movie growing up. Now I’m going to go watch it lol
I love this actor
Omg ❤❤❤ whaaaattttt !!!!!! Hope he’s coming back to the spotlight he’s really been missed ❤
I had the biggest crush on Devon in Casper. I was a kid myself.
Hello. Good afternoon. Do you know why I do not always love the Eminem song, Stan? It has sound effects of a girl screaming, it is too sad, plus its music video accompaniment is both controversial and sad at the same time.
I was in looove with him since little giants and casper....❤
Honestly, I am a huge Davon Sawa fan 🙌 If he is in a movie, I am so watching 🙋🏻♀️. I strongly believe that he is an amazing actor 🎭 Love 💗 you Davon Sawa and sorry for having your posters in my room.
Toooo funny 😂❤❤
I never made the connection that he was, live Casper, plus final destination guy plus, STAN! great work, I loved him in everything he’s done!
This guy deserves more credit, almost feel like like he’s the Feldman of the 90’s. Didn’t do as many movies but the ones he did stuck with people. Casper and little giants to this day are some of my favorites. Final destination brought something new to horror at that time. Idle Hands is a damn classic good ball horror that never gets old for me. Just all around love this dude.
this guy did a good job leading the original Final Destination
SLC Punk is forever in my heart
He will always be “Stan” to me.‼️
Final destination reboot would be 🔥🔥🔥
Casper and Pinocchio were my favorite 🤩 in the 90s 😍
He saved my life from going on planes. Thank you Mr. Devon Sawa.👍🏽
For me he'll always be Casper.
Can’t imagine anybody else playing the role of Stan in that music video..he totally nailed it
Forgot Slackers!!! I still sing Cool Ethans song at the end of the movie....."i luh you" 😂😂😂
Casper was when I fell for him, but Night of the Twisters really clinched it for me. That should have been included in here!!
Macaulay Culkin as Stan might've helped his career as a mature actor.
He was actually doing some quality stuff at that time, for some reason he just stopped making Hollywood movies
Macaulay is a great adult actor
Man that's him this whole time on chucky series I'm mind blown
Big Fan of Devon Sawa been watching him for years.
Little giants is such an underrated movie. It deserves to he up there with the sandlot.
could there be a Final Destination with his character in the works? 🤞
He became such a hot daddy… my god. - I knew he had potential in the 90’s but I didn’t think he’d turn out so handsome.
This is mind blowing!!! I love chucky series and never connected that this is the same guy as the young actor I grew up with his movies. Crazy how he changed looks
Idle hands is gold!
Good to see him still thriving.
Always wondered what happened to this guy. Loved all his movies: Casper, Idle Hands, Final Destination, etc..
Had the biggest crush on him OMG, Junior in Little Giants and Scott on Now and Then
