Kerrisdale High/Kidzone
I've never had the opportunity to see Devon in this show, so I'll sit back and let him tell you about it himself.*
Mr. Sawa informs us, "I describe it as a Canadian version of 90210. It was like a soap, but there were these little lessons at the end, like morals. It was a drama series that had eight main characters, a group of Junior High School aged kids. I played a kid named Devon - gee, I wonder where they came up with that! I was the kid who wanted to be cool, but suffered inside with insecurities. Though it airs mostly in Canada, there are some PBS stations in the USA that carry it. Only it's called "Kerrisdale High" in the U.S."
Devon goes on, "They rotate the cast of Kidzone every once in awhile. One year, Sarah Chalke was in it. She went on to play Becky in Roseanne and co-starred with me in Robin of Locksley. The year I was in it, the cast included Jorge Vargas, Chris Hahn, Kea Wong, Jai West, Melissa Barker-Sauer, Maria Dimou and Amber Warnat."
"While I enjoyed Kidzone, being in it made me realize I didn't really want to do a TV series. I get more of a challenge playing different characters - which is why I've pretty much decided to do movies from here on in. And luckily enough, when I just finished up my season in Kidzone, I got the part of Junior in Little Giants."
