Final Destination star Devon Sawa reveals he was SECOND choice to Macaulay ... trends now
Final Destination star Devon Sawa has revealed that he was in fact the second choice for one of his best-remembered projects.
The 45-year-old actor first rose to prominence in the 1990s, playing juvenile roles in movies including Casper and Little Giants.
In recent years, he has acquired a whole new fanbase playing several characters on the horror comedy series Chucky about the iconic evil doll.
Now, however, Devon has told the story one of his most famous roles from his early career - and revealed he almost failed to secure the part.
He was the fallback option after Home Alone star Macaulay Culkin turned down the role, Devon told Entertainment Tonight.

The project was the beloved Eminem music video Stan, which was released in 2000 and featured Devon as the title character.
Stan is an Eminem super-fan whose obsession with the rap star leads to disaster both for him and his pregnant girlfriend, played by the English songstress Dido.
Devon has now confessed: 'They went out to Macaulay Culkin first. I think that they wanted him, and he wasn't available, or didn't want to do it or whatever.'
Dr. Dre then 'suggested' Devon because he 'was a fan' of the 2000 movie Final
