Devon Sawa: Agents Told Me to Quit Acting & Move Back to Canada

Devon Sawa was once the crush of nearly every ’90s preteen — famous for asking Christina Ricci, “Can I keep you?” in Casper, and becoming the boy-next-door dream in Now and Then. He started popping up on the cover of every teen magazine, and seemed destined for a long career in Hollywood. But as his fame rose, his personal life took a darker turn that made him step away from acting — in fact, his agents urged him to give up on Hollywood and return to his home town in order to get a handle on his substance abuse issues.
