Welcome to Starshine, a fansite dedicated to actor Devon Sawa from movies "Final Destination", "Slackers" and "Idle Hands".
Devon is currently starring in "A Resurrection" and "Nikita". Read more about him in the About Devon section. Enjoy!
See what Nikita‘s executive producer, Craig Silverstein, has to say about the intense season 3 finale, as well as what to expect in season 4. Spoilers ahead.
Remember the 1998 movie SLC Punk? Turns out, Devon is in talks to be in the sequel! How about that? The green-haired Devon continues (we hope).
Here’s an article about the upcoming project.
The production is currently aiming to shoot this August with eyes on a 2014 release date.
When he’s not kicking butt and taking names, Devon Sawa is kicking back and taking it easy! The Nikita star, 34, looks dapper in Regard magazine’s February/March 2013 issue — obtained exclusively by HollywoodLife.com — dressed in a Theory tuxedo jacket, John Varvatos Star USA Luxe pants, and a Hugo Boss tie. Devon also appears on one of two covers.
Photographed at the W Hotel in Hollywood, Devon opened up to the magazine about how his experience with mixed martial arts has come in handy on set.
“On Nikita we do all of our own stunts,” Devon tells Regard. ”My favorite stunt this far was in season two with the actor Ray Park. It was a stunt sequence that ended with a triangle choke. It was by directed by Jeff Hunt and was the first time I had the opportunity to use a lot of my MMA knowledge.”
This issue of Regard, which officially hits the web Feb. 13, also happens to be its third-anniversary issue. Arrow star Katie Cassidy appears on an alternate cover, while Pretty Little Liars star Janel Parrish — among others — are featured inside.
What’s Next For Owen On ‘Nikita?’
We all know Owen can handle himself in hand-to-hand combat — but how will he fare when he’s caught in a love triangle? We might soon find out, as Sean (Dillon Casey) becomes jealous of Owen’s relationship with Alex (Lyndsy Fonseca) on Nikita‘s Feb. 29 episode!
Do you think there could really be sparks between Owen and Alex, or is Sean just being crazy — as usual?
Meanwhile, I’m keeping my fingers crossed that The CW picks Nikita up for a fourth season. The network recently renewed The Vampire Diaries, Supernatural and Arrow, and I’d love to see Nikita safely nestled in the 2013-2014 schedule as well.
Nikita actor Devon Sawa, who plays Owen, recently discussed his character’s role in season 3, including his struggles with returning to Division and his relationship with Alex.
Sawa recently sat down with TVLine to discuss his character now that he has returned to action after being MIA for much of season 2. In “Consequences,” Amanda broke Owen out of a Russian prison and taunted him with information about his life before Division – a life he does not remember due to an operation Amanda performed on him while he was at Division.
“He knows that Amanda has done something to him, and he’s just trying to figure it out,” Sawa says. “I can’t wait to get to the deep stuff that’s coming later this season.”
Sawa says the show will “dig deeper” into the mystery surrounding Owen’s true identity, and that “in future [episodes] we’ll get little bits and pieces” about that story, but as of episode 12, they “haven’t hit the core of that storyline. Down the line, there’s more stuff with him and Alex talking about it, too. But he’s kind of a lost soul right now,” he adds.
Welcome to Random Roles, wherein we talk to actors about the characters who defined their careers. The catch: They don’t know beforehand what roles we’ll ask them to talk about.
The actor: Time isn’t always generous to child actors. They can age poorly, develop drug habits, or become über-Christian. Fortunately for Devon Sawa, time—and Hollywood—was kind to him; he’s doing well and has remained a working actor. As Owen Elliot on Nikita, Sawa gets to be a general badass, going rogue and killing his way through Division with the help of the title character. As a younger actor, though, Sawa was a bit of a lightweight, making tween girls scream and earning heartthrob status in the mid-’90s. He recently spoke to The A.V. Club about trying to break away from that image as well as embracing it.
Nikita (2010-present)—“Owen”
Devon Sawa: I love being a series regular. The first two seasons they’d fly me in, beat me up for an episode, then send me home. Now they’ve got me living up here in Toronto for good and beating me up for good, so I’m happy about that.
The A.V. Club: Does being a series regular feel different? Are you more relaxed, more involved with the scripts?
DS: It’s a little more relaxing. I’m definitely going to be in a lot more episodes this year. I get to put my feet down and make Toronto home. And I feel a little bit more part of the crew and the cast.
Kerrisdale High (1992)—himself
AVC: Was Kerrisdale High the first show you were ever on?
DS: The first thing I ever did on TV was this show called The Odyssey. And before that, the first thing I ever did was to be the national spokes-kid for Nerf toys. That was done here in Toronto, too.
AVC: How did you get into acting?
DS: It was punishment. In grade five I was really hyper in class, and I always wanted attention. So the teacher suggested that if I wanted to be the center of attention all the time, maybe I should join some sort of a theater group. So my parents put me in this little back-alley theater for kids, and it just snowballed from there. I just loved it. It didn’t help me in school. I still continued to act out, but now I was making a career out of it.
AVC: When you were the Nerf spokesperson, did you get free Nerf toys?
DS: I got boxes and boxes and boxes. And here’s the thing: These weren’t just regular Nerf guns. The prop guys and the special-effects guys would put bigger springs in them. They were these hyped-up Nerf toys for the commercials. I hope I’m not going to get in trouble for saying that. But they were altered to shoot farther and harder, and I would come home with boxes of them. Boxes of footballs, boxes of these Nerf guns. I was the cool kid on the block. We’d actually have Nerf battles in the old neighborhood that looked like the commercials, with all the kids flying around shooting guns. It was pretty epic.
AVC: How did your friends react to your acting and becoming famous?
DS: My popularity didn’t really spill into Canada that much. We didn’t get a lot of those teen magazines or anything like that up where I was from, so I just didn’t talk about it. I would just go off for a few months, shoot a movie, and then come back and drop right back into regular school and just try not to talk about it as much as I could and be a regular kid. And it worked.
In Middletown high school, the outcast Eli is bullied by the braggart Brandon and his friends.

Now he needs six souls to live again and he will seek revenge against Brandon and his friends. The skeptic and atheist Jessie does not believe in his words.
