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. Then 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. Of the script, Sawa said, "There's not a lot of good stuff[. . .] for my age. You get a lot of scripts and all but they're teen ensembles and they're just crap. And then I got Flight 180[. . .] it's just awesome."
