“I’m not 100 percent sure but I think Christina suggested me for it and I auditioned and put myself on video cassette again and a few weeks later I was in Atlanta, Georgia, shooting it. I think Christina had put in a good word for me before the audition,” he said of Now and Then. “Pulp FictionIt was shot that summer and came out the same day. [Christina and I]It was there four, five, and six times. I can still recall. Demi [Moore]It was produced by her so she was there all the time. She also allowed me to talk to her.

“I had a crush on all the girls,” Sawa told UseI was at the time. “I had a crush on Gaby, I had a crush on Christina — all the girls. I was the only man on set. It was a great summer.”

Ricci and Sawa continue to add remarkable projects to their resumes more than twenty years later. For the actress, “there are all kinds of different movies” she’d “love to make,” and admits she doesn’t think “there’s any other medium for me besides film and television to tell you the truth.”

’90s Nostalgia 

“It’s hard. I mean there’s so many positives with both genres and a few negatives,” she explained to Use. “I like doing TV because you kind of get to spend a longer time with the character, and if you do like the character, then that’s fantastic and great. And then I do like movies as well because you do have this beginning and end and a really in-depth understanding of who it is you’re playing. And so that’s sort of like a warm security blanket, but TV’s not like that. I’m right now growing and learning and changing and developing new muscles. And I do like that about TV that even at my age when I’ve been doing this for 35 years, it’s forcing me to grow and develop new skills.”
