25 Spooky Secrets About Casper Revealed

8. Ricci and Sawa were also love interests in Now & Then, which also came out in 1995. And it was Ricci who recommended Sawa for the role of Scott Wormer.

“I credit her for getting that role,” Sawa told E! News. “We got along quite well in the small amount of time I did work on Casper. We are the same age and I ended up going and doing school with her while I was there. I worked one or two days, but I was there for maybe two weeks. She just remembered and recommended me and I put myself on tape and I got it. We hung out a lot during the shoot.”

9. Well, it may have been because of puppy love, as it was later revealed by Now & Then star Thora Birch that there was a bit of a “contest” on set for Sawa’s affection, with Birch going on to say Ricci won.

But Sawa denied the crush claim, telling E! News, “No, I didn’t know. I think I was 14 or something like that. They were all so lovely, all four of them.” 

10. In order to get A-listers like Mel Gibson and Clint Eastwood to make quick cameos in the film, producer Steven Spielberg assured them he would also be making a cameo in the same scene. 

The only problem? Spielberg’s cameo was ultimately removed from the final cut, with Silbering telling Entertainment Weekly, “I had to tell Steven, ‘You’re not the strongest of the group … [he] was sort of relieved. He felt compelled to do the cameo since he asked for favors, but he’s not an actor. Doing the cameo, he was as nervous as anything.”
