[edit] Ashley Freund and Ashlyn Halperin [edit] Lewis RomeroSimilarly, her performance in Final Destination 2 garnered mixed reviews too. Dustin Putman of TheMovieBoy.com pointed out the lack of Larter's role:
Hunt Wynorski (portrayed by Nick Zano) is one of Nick's best friends who escaped the race track and his fate of being crushed alongside Janet. A skeptic of the pattern of death's design, he instead relies on the flip of his lucky coin.

In the alternate ending of the film, months after Alex' death, Carter, Clear and her son Alex Jr. join together after realizing that they finally defeated Death.[6][7]
[edit] Hunt WynorskiThe role of Alex Browning was the challenging part for the writers, since Alex should bring different kind of emotions throughout the film. The role of Alex, the last one casted, went to Canadian actor Devon Sawa, who previously starred in the 1999 film Idle Hands. Sawa commented that when "[he] read the script on a plane, it just freaked him out" and "[he] went down and met Glen and Jim and [he] thought they were amazing and already had some great ideas".[9][10] However, Morgan and Wong were still not sure to hire him, so they wanted him to perform again as they review his previous works. Morgan was amazed by his performance in Idle Hands, and Sawa was hired. Sawa described his role as "in the beginning, [Alex] was kinda loopy and cotter, and you know, probably not the most popular guy in school. I think he might have been a dork, you know, doing their stuff and they had their own thing going and they're after the two beautiful girls in school, but there's no chance of that happening. I guess after the plane goes down, his world completely changes."[8][9] Perry was amazed by Sawa's vulnerability in acting, describing him as "a very distinctive actor". "He's very loose and he's kind of a cut-up when he's not on camera; but the moment the camera's on, I'd never seen anybody to completely slide right through the moment." Perry added.[8] The character's surname was based by Final Destination director James Wong to American director Tod Browning, who directed both horror classics Dracula and Freaks. Besides Alex, Wong also chose Alex' best friend Tod Waggner as a reference to the director's first name.[11]
Andy Kewzer (portrayed by Andrew Fiscella) is a mechanic who was watching the race on the day of the accident, originally meant to die by being knocked over and having his neck impaled on a piece of a broken bench, but he escaped with the others and his girlfriend Nadia.
