The following year, he was cast in his first major role playing Reba
McEntire's son in the CBS Movie Special Secret of Giving (1999) (TV). Some
of his credits include the role of "Max" in Stephen King's miniseries,
Firestarter 2: Rekindled (2002) (TV); guest-starring in "CSI: Crime Scene
Investigation" (2000), "Blind Justice" (2005), "Family Law" (1999), and
"General Hospital" (1963) plus roles in "ER" (1994) and "Dharma & Greg"
(1997). At the age of nine, Devon was cast in an independent film, Throttle
(2002), and shortly thereafter, he won the lead role in It's Better to Be
Wanted for Murder Than Not to Be Wanted at All (2003), a 20th Century-Fox
Searchlab's short film, for which he received a Young Artists Award
nomination for "Best Actor in a Short Film". At eleven, he flew to Russia,
where he played opposite Anne Archer, as a mysterious Russian street boy, in
the dramatic thriller, The Iris Effect (2004). Six months later, Devon was
cast from a nationwide search, to co-star as Tim Munn in United Artists'
suspense-thriller, Undertow (2004), winning the 2005 Young Artists Award for
his amazing performance as a sickly Southern boy with eating disorders.
