Devon Sawa, in his portrayal of Simon, displays his keen understanding of a boy who must choose between the rigid, materialistic life his father has chosen for him, and the freewheeling lifestyle of a modern-day rock and roll tour scene. Those who know Devon's work say this is, by far, his most demanding and best-acted role to date.
Devon originally hails from Vancouver, Canada, where he trained and began his career as an actor on the stage. He then applied his talents to television, where he starred in several original CBC productions in Canada before guest starring on "Lonesome Dove" for CBS in the U.S. Devon next turned his attention to feature film, where he appeared in NOW AND THEN and CASPER, both opposite Christina Ricci; THE BOYS CLUB, in which he co-starred with Chris Penn; WILD AMERICA, opposite Jonathan Taylor Thomas, SLC-PUNK (SONY PICTURES CLASSICS), and most recently, as the lead in Tristar's, IDLE HANDS.
Devon will be seen shortly in several upcoming releases: Opposite Bill Pullman in Anthony Waller's indie-thriller, THE GUILTY, as the lead in FINAL DESTINATION, and as the lead in AROUND THE FIRE.
