Original cast of Final Destination now from ditching fame to heartbreaking tragedy
The first Final Destination movie was released in 2000 and saw the likes of Devon Sawa, Ali Larter, Seann William Scott and Tony Todd take on the roles of high school students Even after 25 years since its spine-chilling premiere, Final Destination remains a hallmark of early 2000s horror cinema. The concept of death possessing a sentient consciousness capable of pursuing individuals, the terrifying plane crash scene, and a string of shocking fatalities have left an indelible mark on a generation. The film was a resounding success, earning cult classic status and becoming deeply embedded in cinematic culture. It spawned one of the most profitable franchises in movie history, with five additional films released since its original debut in 2000. But what happened to the young actors who portrayed high school students in the initial films? From garnering critical praise at esteemed award ceremonies to experiencing their own tragic losses, the journeys of the original cast members have been nearly as dramatic as the film itself, reports the Mirror US. Devon Sawa - Alex Browning Having lent his voice to Casper the friendly ghost at just 16, Devon Sawa continued his foray into supernatural cinema with Final Destination. Post-Final Destination, he maintained his affinity for horror roles, featuring in several of the franchise's reboots. He did take a hiatus from Hollywood, partly due to battling addiction and the pressures of the industry. However, he has since made a comeback, appearing in various horror TV series such as Chucky, Heart Eyes, and Bunker. Ali Larter - Clear Rivers Following her role as Clear Rivers, Ali Larter carved out a successful career in Hollywood, featuring in films such as Legally Blonde and Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, while also maintaining her horror credentials with roles in the Resident Evil franchise. More recently, Ali has been seen in the Texan oil drilling drama Landman, sharing screen time with big names like Billy Bob Thornton, Jon Hamm and Demi Moore. In 2009, she tied the knot with her long-term partner Haynes MacArthur, and they now have two children together. Kerr Smith - Carter Horton A heartthrob of the 1990s, Kerr is perhaps best remembered for his portrayal of Jack McPhee in the teen drama Dawson's Creek. Fast forward nearly two decades since the show wrapped up, and the 53-year-old can be found enjoying outdoor pursuits such as camping, cycling, and skiing in the Utah mountains. He and his wife, Lisa, jointly run TerraLife, a wellness company specialising in holistic health coaching, functional nutrition, and natural hormone balancing. Post-Final Destination, Kerr continued to work predominantly in television, making appearances in shows like Charmed, CSI: NY, Eli Stone, The Fosters and Agents of S. H. I. E. L. D. Kristen Cloke - Valerie Lewton Beyond Final Destination, Kristen Cloke might be most recognised for her breakout role in Space: Above and Beyond or her recurring part in the equally chilling X-files, where she met her future husband, producer Glen Morgan. Over the subsequent decades, she remained active in the acting scene, snagging parts in the horror flick Black Christmas, the brief film Tips and, notably, a performance in Greta Gerwig's critically acclaimed Lady Bird, which garnered multiple Oscar nominations. Seann William Scott - Billy Hitchcock A quintessential figure of 90s teen cinema, Sean was a key player in some of the era's most memorable comedies, taking on roles in the American Pie series and The Dukes of Hazzard. Fast forward to 2025, he's seen sharing the screen with Tim Allen in the sitcom Shifting Gears, and there's buzz that he'll provide his voice for the forthcoming animated movie Ice Age 6. Tony Todd - William Bludworth Tony Todd has long been an established name in the horror genre, not least because of his notably deep, gravely vocal tone which also won him various opportunities in voice acting. He is perhaps best recognised for his portrayal of Bludworth in Final Destination and its sequels, including this year's installment, Final Destination Bloodline. Tony's iconic role as the eponymous character in the Candyman series stands out, but his career also covered films like Platoon and Night of the Living Dead, among numerous others. Sadly, Tony passed away in November 2024 at the age of 69 following a battle with stomach cancer. During his final appearance in the latest Final Destination movie, produced amidst his illness, the team permitted him to ad-lib his concluding words: "Life is precious, enjoy every single second, you never know when. Good luck."

Find out why Landman star Ali Larter was seen with Sarah Michelle Gellar's husband
Ali Larter was spotted out in Los Angeles with Freddie Prinze Jr. this week. The two, both 49, each sported sunglasses as they smiled in the sunshine. The blonde Landman actress was clad in a green and red sundress. For his part, the She's All That actor was dressed in khaki trousers, a gray T-shirt, and matching sneakers. He was clean shaven while rocking his grizzled hair in a neat, short cut. Missing from the scene were their respective partners — Ali has been married to actor Hayes MacArthur since 2009, while Freddie wed Sarah Michelle Gellar in 2002. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Larter and Prinze Jr. were working together as co-stars in a forthcoming UberEATS commercial. Paramount+ renewed Ali's Landman series for a second season in March, with production kicking off in April. Larter portrays Angela Norris in the show, sex-crazed ex-wife of Billy Bob Thornton's Tommy Norris. In character, she often films scantily clad in lingerie or a bathing suit, and has even gone topless for a sex scene on the hit program. In an interview with Good Morning America last year the actress talked about her role in the West Texas oil boom series. 'I get to work with an incredible cast and the entire crew is so gifted and talented that I just feel like I'm playing at the top of the game and so that's really exciting,' she gushed. 'And now to see the fans really love these characters and love the story that's unfolding is very exciting, because you never know when you're making something if it's gonna connect with an audience and this show obviously has,' she added. She also praised the show's creator Taylor Sheridan: 'I just think he's an incredible storyteller and he loves to write these dynamic women and that's very very fun to play.' Larter shares son Theodore Hayes MacArthur, 14, and daughter Vivienne Margaret MacArthur, 10, with husband Hayes. Freddie and longtime wife Sarah are also mom and dad to two children — daughter Charlotte Grace, 15, and son Rocky James, 12. Gellar and Prinze met on the set of 1999's I Know What You Did Last Summer and became Hollywood's 'it' couple shortly after. On the Scooby Doo star's March 8 birthday, Gellar paid tribute to him on Instagram, sharing throwback black and white images of them together. She wrote in the caption, 'Happy Birthday @realfreddieprinze. The world got very lucky the day you were born, but no one more so than me (and our children) I'm so glad I get to grow old with you…and that you will always have a head start!!'
