‘Casper’ Cast: Where Are They Now? Christina Ricci, Devon Sawa and More

Can we keep them? Casper became an instant after its 1995 debut — and over two decades later, it still resonates as a spooky Halloween staple.Based on the Harvey Comics character of the same name, Casper starred Bill Pullman as James Harvey, a spirit specialist who moves to a haunted mansion in Maine with his daughter Kat (Christina Ricci) after the death of his wife.As the father-daughter duo settle into their new lives, the pair realize they’re sharing their space with four ghosts —  Casper (voiced by Malachi Pearson and played in his human form by Devon Sawa) and his three uncles: Stretch (Joe Nipote), Stinkie (Joe Alaskey) and Fatso (Brad Garrett).

While Casper quickly falls in love with Kat, their budding relationship runs into complications thanks to his troublemaking relatives — who are willing to do whatever it takes to make sure the house stays theirs.While Casper became a cult classic and shot Ricci to stardom, the Yellowjackets actress, who was 13 when the film premiered, looks back on her performance in the supernatural dramedy with disdain.“If you actually watch Casper, I’m terrible,” the Sleepy Hollow star said during an appearance on the “WTF With Marc Maron” podcast in August 2022. “People get so upset when I say that.

And I’m like, ‘No, it’s a wonderful movie. It’s a childhood treasure. But I am terrible in it.'”While it remains a Halloween viewing tradition for Ricci’s fans — especially kids of the ’90s — the Pan Am alum shared that there was “a lot going on in her life” that kept her from delivering her best work.“Everything was very difficult.

I was always annoyed, and I just don’t think I tried very hard, to tell you the truth. Embarrassingly, I don’t think I tried as hard as maybe I should have,”
