 Alex Browning , the last role cast , went to Canadian actor Devon Sawa , who previously starred in the 1999 film Idle Hands . Sawa said that when " [ he ] read the script on a plane , [ he ] found [ himself ] peeking out the window at the engine every couple of minutes " and " [ he ] went down and met Glen and Jim and [ he ] thought they were amazing and already had some great ideas " . However , Morgan and Wong were undecided about casting him for the part , so they requested him to perform again as they reviewed his previous works . Morgan was astounded by Sawa 's performance in Idle Hands , and Sawa was hired .
