During an exclusive interview, Sawa — who started acting at 8 years old — confessed he truly enjoyed spending his formative years on film sets. “I had a really good childhood in the business.

(Sawa and the Rushmore actor, 41, starred in 2002’s Slackers). “You go to set and they just make you smile from ear-to-ear all day long.
