A screenshot from the film Final Destination showing the main characters of the film: Ms. Valerie Lewton, Billy Hitchcock, Carter Horton, Terry Chaney, Clear Rivers, Alex Browning, and Tod Waggner. These survivors are not only the first survivors enlisted in Death's List, but also are the pioneer survivors of the entire franchise.

Alex Browning

Alexander Chance Browning is the protagonist of Final Destination portrayed by Devon Sawa.[1] He is a senior student of Mt. Abraham High and is one of the students aboard Voleé Airlines Flight 180.[2] He is the sixth survivor of Flight 180 to die.[3]

Alex was born on September 25, 1981 in the fictional town of Mt. Abraham, New York to Ken and Barbara Browning.[4] He has been friends with siblings Tod and George Waggner since childhood and had been his classmates through high school since then.[4] He is studying at Mt. Abraham High and is the rival of Carter Horton. He frequently fights with Carter whenever they're together and often can't control his actions. He is one of the students qualified to travel to Paris, France for the school's annual field trip.[2]

In the film, Alex, along with his classmates and teachers, are board Voleé Airlines Flight 180 to Paris. While onboard, Alex had an ominous vision of the plane exploding in mid-air. After warning everyone about it, he and some of his schoolmates are removed from the plane. While waiting at the airport, Alex witnesses the plane explode as he predicted. FBI Agent Schreck and Agent Weine interview the survivors afterwards and believe that Alex was a suicide terrorist. While attending the memorial for the victims, Alex notices both agents carefully observing him and develops a relationship with Clear Rivers. Tod and Terry Chaney die afterwards and the Waggner household's anger towards Alex grows further. With the help of Clear, Alex encounters William Bludworth, a mortician who knows more about Death than anyone else. Later that night, Alex realizes that Death is claiming back their lives which should've been lost on the plane, and is attacking them according to the order of their deaths on the plane. Alex and Clear attempt to save the remaining survivors, but fail in their attempts, with the exception of Carter. Knowing he is next to die, Alex suddenly realizes that he had exchanged seats in his original premonition, thus Clear will die before him. Finding Clear at her car trapped by livewires, Alex sacrifices himself by touching the wires to let her escape. It is revealed later on that Alex survived the electrocution. Now in Paris, the films ends with Carter saving Alex from a falling neon sign, but the sign swings back and kills Carter instead.[5]

In the alternate ending of the film, Alex and Clear had sex on the beach before meeting Carter and Billy Hitchcock at their school, resulting in Clear's pregnancy. Later on, Alex dies of the electrocution while attempting to save Clear from the car and livewires. Nine months later, Clear gives birth to Alex Jr. and reunites with Carter, safe in the knowledge that they have finally defeated Death.[6][7]

However in Final Destination 2, Clear exposes to Kimberly Corman that Alex died by being bludgeoned on the head by a dislodged brick from a nearby building.[3]

"There's not a lot of good stuff, you know, for my age. You get a lot of scripts and all but their teen ensembles and their just "crap". And then I got Flight 180..... I mean, it's just awesome."

Devon Sawa on how he was amazed by the script of Final Destination.[8][9]

The role of Alex Browning was the challenging part for the writers, since they wanted Alex to show a variety of differing emotions throughout the film. The role of Alex, the last one cast, went to Canadian actor Devon Sawa, who previously starred in the 1999 film Idle Hands. Sawa commented that when "[he] read the script on a plane, it just freaked him out" and "[he] went down and met Glen and Jim and [he] thought they were amazing and already had some great ideas".[9][10] However, writers Glen Morgan and James Wong were still not sure about casting him, so asked him to perform again and reviewed his previous work. Morgan was amazed by his performance in Idle Hands and Sawa was hired. Sawa described his role as "in the beginning, [Alex] was kinda loopy and cotter, and you know, probably not the most popular guy in school. I think he might have been a dork, you know, doing their stuff and they had their own thing going and they're after the two beautiful girls in school, but there's no chance of that happening. I guess after the plane goes down, his world completely changes."[8][9] Perry was amazed by Sawa's vulnerability in acting, describing him as "a very distinctive actor". "He's very loose and he's kind of a cut-up when he's not on camera; but the moment the camera's on, I'd never seen anybody to completely slide right through the moment." Perry added.[8] The character's surname was based by writer Jeffrey Reddick to American director Tod Browning, who directed both horror classics Dracula and Freaks. Besides Alex, Wong also chose the name of Alex's best friend, Tod Waggner, as a reference to the director's first name.[11]

His performance earned Sawa a Saturn Award for Best Performance by a Younger Actor,[12] and a nomination from Blockbuster Enertainment Awards for Favorite Actor in Horror (Internet Only).[13] Moreover, Sawa's performance of Alex received generally positive reviews among critics. Stephen Holden of the New York Times commented that "The disaster and Alex's premonitions set up a heavy-handed fable about death and teenage illusions of invulnerability.",[14] while Jami Bernard of the New York Daily News noted that "Sawa is solid as an Everyteen saddled with a rare and unwelcome gift".[15] David Nusair of Reel Film Reviews remarked "Sawa's personable turn as the hero is matched by a uniformly effective supporting cast rife with familiar faces (i.e. Seann William Scott, Brendan Fehr, Tony Todd, etc)...";[16] while Joe Leydon of Variety pointed out that "Sawa is credible as the second-sighted Alex --- unlike many other actors cast a teen protagonists, he actually looks like he might still be attending high school --- but the supporting players are an uneven bunch."[11] Mick LaSalle of the San Francisco Chronicle praised Sawa and Ali Larter's pairing, observing that "Larter and Sawa, who becomes more scruffy and wild-eyed as the film progresses, make an appealing pair."[17] Dustin Putman of TheMovieBoy.com praised Sawa's performance, saying:

Devon Sawa, a rising star who put his physical comedy skills to good use in 1999's underseen slasher-comedy, "Idle Hands," is even more of a charismatic presence here. The conflicting emotions he feels for his survival, which he comes to believe he wasn't meant to do, as well as the loss of the other passengers, is superbly and subtly acted on his part. One scene, in which he is watching a news report on the crash and slowly begins to break down is especially realistic and powerful.[18]

Clear Rivers

Clear Marie Rivers is the female protagonist of both Final Destination and Final Destination 2, portrayed by Ali Larter.[1][19] She is a senior student of Mt. Abraham High, and is one of the students aboard Voleé Airlines Flight 180.[2] She is the only survivor of Flight 180 who made it through to Final Destination 2. Whilst in the following film, Clear intervenes the new Death's List.[20] She is the seventh and last survivor of Flight 180, the only character to not die in the original movie.[3]

Ali Larter, famous for portraying Niki Sanders in the TV series Heroes, played Clear Rivers in both Final Destination and Final Destination 2. Larter's role is one of only two characters to appear in at least two films, the other one being Tony Todd's character William Bludworth.

Clear was born in 1982 to a couple from the fictional town of Mt. Abraham, New York.[4] Her biological mother died during childbirth, and her father took another wife since then. Clear was very close with her father, since they often went fishing in the woods. However, Clear's father was murdered at a 7-11 store, and Clear's stepmother took another husband. She is also frequently found by other classmates at Mt. Abraham High as mysterious and sly, but is very trustworthy.[5] Clear was one of the students to ride Volée Airlines Flight 180 to Paris, France.[2]

In the film, Alex Browning foresees the plane exploding in mid-air, and warns everyone inside of the accident. Among all passengers of Flight 180, Clear is the only one who believed his statements. Along with him and five others, Clear is removed from the plane, which explodes instantly after departure. At the memorial for those victims, Clear presents Alex a white rose as gratitude for saving her life, starting their relationship. After the deaths of Tod Waggner and Terry Chaney, Alex and Clear meet William Bludworth, who claims about Death and its consequences. After Alex's conclusion that Death will claim those lives which should've been lost in the plane, Alex and Clear plot to save the remaining survivors. Still, the pair fails in their attempt, except for Carter Horton. However, after Carter's survival, Clear is attacked by Death by trapping her inside her car with live wires. Alex saves Clear by electrocuting himself, and is revealed to have survived. At the end of the film in Paris, Clear saves Alex from a speeding bus, yet also witnesses Carter's death.[5]

In the alternate ending of the film, Alex and Clear had sex on the beach after meeting Carter and Billy Hitchcock at their school, resulting to Clear's pregnancy. Later on, Alex dies of his electrocution while saving Clear from the car. Nine months later, Clear gives birth to Alex Jr., and reunites with Carter, knowing that they finally defeated Death.[6][7]

In the second film, Clear is revealed to be the only Flight 180 survivor who survived, and had locked herself inside the Stonybrook Mental Institution to protect herself from Death. Kimberly Corman, the film's visionary, asks Clear's help to save the survivors of the Route 23 accident. With the help of William, Clear and Kimberly learn that only new life can defeat Death, and the infant of survivor Isabella Hudson may stop Death. With Officer Thomas Burke, Clear and Kimberly plan to save the remaining survivors. After the deaths of five survivors of Route 23, Clear, Kimberly, and Thomas stop the deaths of Isabella and her baby at the Lakeshore Hospital, defeating Death. However, Kimberly had a vision of Isabella's survival from the accident, thus, she wasn't meant to die at all. Understanding the situation, Clear locates Eugene Dix's room at the hospital. Finding him in an oxygenated room, Clear opens the door, loosening the plug of Eugene's defibrillator. The plug completely detaches, creating a spark that caused a huge fire throughout Eugene's room, killing Eugene.[3]

Ali Larter, who starred in the 1999 film Varsity Blues, was cast as female lead Clear Rivers. Larter defined her role as "that girl who has a lot of loss in her life and has fallen for herself, and had made a life within that. She's an artist, she lives by herself, and she's kinda holding to her grip for what the world has given her."[8][9]

Larter's performance in Final Destination earned her the Young Hollywood Award for a Breakthrough Performance by a Female[21] and a nomination from Blockbuster Enertainment Awards for Favorite Actress in Horror (Internet Only).[13]

"Ali Larter (2001's "Legally Blonde") reprises her role as Clear Rivers, accurately playing her as an emotionally worn-down young woman who may still be alive, but realizes that it is only a matter of time before fate has its way with her. It is a shame she doesn't have more to do, though."

— Dustin Putman of TheMovieBoy.com pointing out the vulnerability and deficiency of Larter's role in Final Destination 2.[22]

Larter also gathered mixed reviews among critics. Jami Bernard of the New York Daily News said that "Ali Larter plays the only person who believes in [Sawa] - her name is Clear, which sums up the movie's entire philosophy of character development.";[15] while Joe Leydon of Variety claimed that "Larter never seems to be entirely at ease in her part, and it's hard to shake the suspicion that one key scene --- the first one-on-one conversation between Alex and Clear --- is annoyingly jagged because of an attempted editing room salvage job."[11] Mick LaSalle of the San Francisco Chronicle noted Alex and Clear's relationship: "Larter and Sawa, who becomes more scruffy and wild-eyed as the film progresses, make an appealing pair.";[17] while Dustin Putman of TheMovieBoy.com praised Larter's role:

Ali Larter (1999's "Varsity Blues"), in the other central role, is also effective, as a girl whose life was going well until her father died in a convenience store shooting years before, leaving her stuck with an increasingly uncaring mother who married a loutish man--the exact opposite of her now-deceased father.[18]

Similarly, her performance in Final Destination 2 garnered mixed reviews too. Many critics commented about the lack of use of Larter's role. Robert Koehler of Variety said that Larter was "casted little light."[23] However, Robin Clifford of Reeling Reviews was favorable to her performance, saying she was "giving the smart-ass edge her character needs."[24] Alex Sandell of Juicy Cerebellum told that Larter "impressed her with her stronger, less frightened Clear Rivers" and that "the whole Linda Hamilton/Terminator thing works for her, and for the movie."[25] Andrew Manning of Radio Free Entertainment praised Larter's role, stating:

Ali Later clearly rules this movie. While everyone else is merely a hastily assembled caricature without depth, her character of Clear has a well defined background and history thanks to her appearance in the first film. Final Destination fans will see her as the heroic franchise veteran. Plus, she's got this college woman thing going on now. Although Clear isn't supposed to be much older than Kimberly, she brings that certain vibe of the "experienced older girl" who teaches the younger girl a thing or two about a thing or two--and that's a classic idea that fits well with all sorts of genres, if you know what I mean.[26]

Carter Horton

Carter Horton is the rival of Alex Browning in Final Destination, portrayed by Kerr Smith.[1] He is a football player at Mt. Abraham High, and is dating Terry Chaney. He was one of the students aboard Volée Airlines Flight 180 who was removed off the plane due to the confusion he had caused with Alex Browning. Hence, if it wasn't for his actions, his other schoolmates would have suffered their deaths in the doomed plane.[2] Carter is the fifth survivor of Flight 180 to die.[5]

Carter was born in Mt. Abraham, New York.[4] He is very arrogant, competitive and vengeful, as proven by his disgust with Alex since they met each other. He is also athletic, wherein he is their school's football quarterback. He is dating cheerleader Terry, and the two have shown popularity among their schoolmates. Carter was qualified to join the field trip to Paris, France through Volée Airlines Flight 180.[2]

In the film, Alex had a vision of the plane exploding after take-off, killing everyone onboard. However, after warning everyone, Carter causes a stir with him considering it was a prank. The commotion resulted to the removal of them and some others from the plane. Annoyed by his exclusion, Carter battles with Alex at the airport, just in time to witness the plane explode. Thinking Alex caused the explosion, Carter almost fights with him at the memorial. Likewise, Carter blames Alex for Tod Waggner's death, resulting to Terry's exit and death. Since then, Carter became more concern about Terry and Death itself; and when it was his time, Carter bravefully faces his death by stalling his car at the middle of rail tracks. Yet his false suicide attempt almost turns real when the train nearly smashes him inside his vehicle. Later on, after a chain of events, Alex, Carter, and Clear Rivers have dinner in Paris, finally defeating Death. Nonetheless, Death strikes back by ramming Alex with a bus and a falling neon sign, yet this was prevented by both Clear and Carter. However, the neon sign flings back, smashing Carter.[5]

In the alternate ending of the film, months after Alex' death, Carter, Clear and her son, Alex Jr. join together after realizing that they finally defeated Death.[6][7]

In Final Destination 2, Carter was mentioned during a backstory by Rory Peters. According to Rory, he was supposed to go inside a theater when suddenly he witnessed Carter being smashed by a neon sign. Disgusted, he goes home and prevents his own death when the theater collapses and kills all the spectators in it.[3]

Dawson's Creek star Kerr Smith was casted as jockey Carter Horton. Smith identified Carter as "your typical high school bully who's life depends on anger" and even mentioned the fact of Carter's fear against Alex for not having control of his own life.[8] The character's surname was based by writer Jeffrey Reddick to American actor Peter Horton, who starred as the protagonist Burt Stanton at the horror classic film Children of the Corn.[11] Smith's performance has received positive reviews from critics. Joe Leydon of Variety complimented his performance, saying that "Smith once again displays attention-grabbing screen presence in a secondary role".[11]

Valerie Lewton

Valerie Lewton, or simply Ms. Lewton, is one of the survivors in Final Destination, portrayed by Kristen Cloke.[1] Among all Flight 180 survivors, she is the most affected person, since she feels guilty for convincing her fellow teacher Larry Murnau to stay inside the doomed flight. She stays behind to accompany those students who were forced out of the plane. She is the third survivor of Flight 180 to die.[5]

Ms. Lewton was born somewhere in New York. She is very intelligent, but is very sensitive and snobbish. She took a degree in Education, as implied by her job in Mt. Abraham High.[4] Along with fellow faculty members and staff, she was required to accompany the students to Paris for the field trip.[5]

In the film, while the students are being removed from the plane, Ms. Lewton follows instead of Mr. Murnau, who was originally intended on going. The plane explodes afterwards, and Ms. Lewton becomes guilty of sending Mr. Murnau back inside.[5]

As the survivors begin to die, Ms. Lewton attempts to escape the town.[3] But as she prepares to leave, a crack on her mug leaks vodka on her floor and computer monitor, short-circuiting her computer and causing the monitor to explode, sending glass shards into her neck. The computer then explodes, ablazing the trail of vodka. The burning trail ends as her vodka bottle explodes, sending her on the floor. She grabs for a towel, which causes knives to fall onto her. As Alex Browning arrives and attempts to help her, the knife is accidentally stabbed though her chest deeper. The fire causes more appliances in the room to explode, right after Alex escapes. Finally, her whole house implodes as Billy Hitchcock watches by.[5]

In Final Destination 2, Ms. Lewton was mentioned during a backstory by Eugene Dix. According to Eugene, he was supposed to teach his class the next day when suddenly he was sent to Mt. Abraham High to substitute Ms. Lewton's job. Doing so, he avoided himself from being stabbed by a student in his class that day.[3]

Kristen Cloke, writer Glen Morgan's wife, was cast as teacher Valerie Lewton.[1] The character's name was based by writer Jeffrey Reddick on Ukrainian director Val Lewton, who directed the horror film I Walked with a Zombie.[11]

Billy Hitchcock

Seann William Scott, famous for portraying Steve Stifler in the American Pie franchise, played Billy Hitchcock in Final Destination. Scott's role is the only character in the film to survive the Flight 180 incident purely by accident.

William "Billy" Hitchcock is one of the survivors in Final Destination, portrayed by Seann William Scott.[1] He is very cheerful and foolish, and is the comic relief of the film. While aboard the plane, Billy is accidentally caught between the brawl of Alex Browning and Carter Horton, resulting to his removal from the plane.[2] Billy is the fourth survivor of Flight 180 to die.[5]

Billy was born somewhere in New York.[4] Although quite boring and nerdy, he is also very foolish and clumsy. This caused himself as the main target of Carter in bullying. A recurring gag throughout the film is that whenever Carter pulls a prank on him or almost hits Billy with his car, Billy's usual response is: "Carter, you dick!". He usually travels through his bicycle, especially to his educational institution Mt. Abraham High. He is somehow smart, and is already enough to be sent to Paris for their school's field trip.[2]

In the film, Billy is caught between the conflict of Alex and Carter, resulting to his removal fom the plane. The plane explodes afterwards. Later at Carter's car, Alex and Clear Rivers try to convince Carter and Billy that Death is after them. In an attempt to defy this by choosing his own death, he stops the car at the middle of a railroad to prove that he is in control of his own death. Before the train arrives, Carter is saved. Scared to die, Billy tries to believe that Carter is dead, unbeknownst of a piece of shrapnel from Carter's car which decapitates him.[3]

In Final Destination 2, Billy was mentioned during a backstory by Officer Thomas Burke. According to Tom, he was supposed to go with his partner at a robbery when suddenly his chief ordered him to clean-up the remains of Billy, avoiding himself from the shoot-out that will happen which killed his partner.[3]

Seann William Scott, famous for portraying Steve Stifler in the 1999 film American Pie, was hired as class clown Billy Hitchcock. Scott laughed at his role, claiming that "[he] is lacking some social skills, he has some quite few friends, and he's like the tag-along."[8] Scott was surprised when in the script he was fat. The writers eventually changed it for Scott.[9] The character's surname was based by writer Jeffrey Reddick to well-acclaimed British film director Alfred Hitchcock, who directed the psychological thriller film Psycho, which featured the death of Marion Crane, regarded as the "best death scene of all time".[11][27]

William Bludworth

Tony Todd, famous for portraying the Candyman in the Candyman franchise, played William Bludworth in Final Destination, Final Destination 2, and Final Destination 5. Todd's role is one of only two characters to appear in at least two films besides Ali Larter's character Clear Rivers.

William Bludworth is a mortician in Final Destination, Final Destination 2, and Final Destination 5, portrayed by Tony Todd.[1][19] He is the owner of Bludworth Funeral Homes,[28] and has the most knowledge of Death and its forces and capacities.[3][5]

Bludworth resides on his own morgue, the Bludworth Funeral Homes, somewhere in New York.[5]

In the film, Alex Browning and Clear Rivers sneak inside the morgue to glimpse at Tod Waggner's corpse. Bludworth caught them in the act and asked why they came. Offering his help, he explains to them about the rule of Death: Those who cheat death will be revisited by Death once more to claim back their lives which should've been lost. He also tells them about Death's List (a list of the order of deaths of the survivors in the original incident) and how it will work on them once again. Finally, he states about how ruining the list can affect the remaining survivors.[5]

In Final Destination 2, Bludworth is revisited by Clear, together with Kimberly Corman and Thomas Burke, to obtain help about cheating death. He is seen de-accessorizing the corpse of Evan Lewis. However, he only mentions to them the rule of life and death: new life can defeat Death.[3]

Despite being absent in the Final Destination 3, Bludworth's voice can be heard as the devil on the coaster and the subway station announcer at the end.

After a complete absence in The Final Destination, Bludworth reappeared in Final Destination 5. In the 5th film, he is seen as a mortician who the characters encounter several times, and informs them only that by taking a life can they live, for they will receive the lifespan of the person they've killed. [29]

Tony Todd, who played Candyman in the 1992 film Candyman, was cast as mortician William Bludworth.[1] Writer Glen Morgan initially wanted Todd for the role for his deep voice that will give the film an eerie tone.[9]

Todd's performance in Final Destination has received positive reviews among critics. Joe Leydon of Variety complimented his performance, saying that "Todd --- an old hand at scary stories after the "Candyman" series --- overplays with enough relish to position himself as a probable returnee for a Final Destination 2.";[11] while Dustin Putman of TheMovieBoy.com gave positive reviews to his appearance:

Tony Todd (1992's "Candyman"), as an arcane morgue attendant, pops up for a five-minute cameo, but his appearance is rather supererogatory.[18]

"The pleasure of the new film is its brazen thrill in the process of Death's Grand Plan, it also fails to fully exploit all its genre resources. Most wasted is Tony Todd ("Candyman"), who appears in a single, distinctly flat scene and then vanishes."

Robert Koehler of Variety commenting about the deficiency of Todd's role in Final Destination 2.[23]

However in Final Destination 2, Todd's performance as Bludworth received mixed reviews from critics. Michael Phillips of Goatdog's Movies remarked that "the only remotely interesting person in this film is Tony Todd (of Candyman fame), who returns as the mortician who seems to know way too much about death's plan."[30] Brian McKay of eFilmCritic mentioned that "the explanations from the mysterious undertaker from the first film (Tony Todd, a great actor sadly utilized in a one-scene throwaway part) make no sense."[31] Andrew Manning of Radio Free Entertainment reviewed that his role was "hardly necessary" and "while he added a certain mood to the mix the first time around, his appearance here seems forced."[26]

Terry Chaney

Theresa "Terry" Chaney is one of the survivors in Final Destination, portrayed by Amanda Detmer.[1] She is the girlfriend of Carter Horton. She is the second survivor of Flight 180 to die.[5]

Terry was born somewhere in New York. She is very sassy and snobbish, but is rather kind and sweet toward her boyfriend Carter. At first, she was reluctant to go to Paris, but in the end joins Carter to secure him from temper issues with Alex Browning.[4]

In the film, Terry escorts Carter outside the plane, and witnesses it blow up into bits. Meanwhile, Terry is continuously ignored by Carter, especially during his conflicts with Alex. In a second encounter near a coffee shop, Terry loses her temper, and said to Carter that he can "drop fucking dead" while walking blindlessly on the road. She turns around, just in time to see a speeding bus ram into her.[5]

In Final Destination 2, an image of Terry's corpse was shown at Officer Thomas Burke's monitor. She was also mentioned during a backstory by Kat Jennings. According to Kat, she was supposed to go to a bed-and-breakfast when suddenly the bus she was on splatted Terry from nowhere. Disgusted, Kat goes home and avoids herself from a gas leak suffocation at the eatery that day.[3]

The character's surname was based by writer Jeffrey Reddick to well-acclaimed American actor Lon Chaney, Sr., who starred as antagonist Erik in the classic silent horror film The Phantom of The Opera.[11]

A screenshot from the film Final Destination 2 showing the Route 23 survivors shortly after the pile-up (from left to right): Kat Jennings, Eugene Dix, Rory Peters, Officer Thomas Burke, Nora Carpenter, Tim Carpenter, and Kimberly Corman. These survivors are the second set of survivors enlisted in Death's List of the entire franchise. (Note that survivor Evan Lewis is absent from the cast shot since he was being interrogated in the other room beside them.)

Kimberly Corman

Kimberly "Kim" Corman is the visionary of Final Destination 2, portrayed by A.J. Cook.[19] She is a college student from White Plains, New York, and is one of the survivors of the Route 23 pile-up.[20] She is the seventh survivor of Route 23 to die.[3]

Kimberly was born in White Plains, New York to Michael Corman.[3][28][32] She is very close to her father, especially after her mother's death during a carjacking. Kimberly continues to blame herself for what happened since she stayed behind from her mother in an appliance store to watch a newsfeed about Tod Waggner's suicide. Her mother was shot in their car when it was hijacked by street thugs.[3][32] She is attending college with her friends Shaina McKlank, Dano Estevez and Frankie Whitman, and was originally going to spend her spring break with her friends in Daytona Beach, Florida with her friends.[20]

A.J. Cook, famous for portraying Jennifer "JJ" Jareau in the TV series Criminal Minds, played Kimberly Corman in Final Destination 2. Cook's role is one of the current five visionaries of the series, the other four (Alex Browning, Wendy Christensen, Nick O'Bannon, Sam Lawton; portrayed by Devon Sawa, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Bobby Campo, and Nicholas D'Agosto respectively.

In the film, Kimberly decided to take Route 23 as a shortcut to Florida. While driving, Kimberly had an ominous vision of a highway pile-up caused by a log truck derailment at the end of the vision a mysterious truck runs into her car. Stalling her car sideways to prevent other drivers from going further, Kimberly and a handful of other drivers watches closely as vehicles ahead crash one another and explode in the highway. To her surprise, another truck (the same truck that killed her at the end of her vision) smashes her SUV with her friends still in it, killing them, although she is rescued by Officer Burke. Kimberly and other survivors are interrogated by Officer Burke afterwards, with Kimberly explaining her vision's similarity to Alex Browning's vision, and that now they are all in Death's List. The survivors disregard this until survivor Evan Lewis died in his apartment later that night, alarming everyone of the incoming danger in their lives. With Burke's help, Kimberly consult the help of Clear Rivers (the only survivor of Flight 180 that time) to save the remaining others. Nevertheless, their attempts prove unsuccessful. Clear leads Kimberly and Officer Burke to mortician William Bludworth, who helps the latter by claiming that new life can defeat Death. Kimberly realizes that pregnant survivor Isabella Hudson can save them, however this proves false since Isabella was meant to live even in the premonition. After two more deaths, Kimberly sacrifices herself for Officer Burke's safety by driving the van she is riding to a lake, however Officer Burke rescues her and sends her to a hospital for recovery. Thinking she and Officer Burke finally cheated Death, they went to a picnic with the Gibbons family, who tells them how their son Brian Gibbons was saved from Death by the survivors. To everyone's surprise, Brian is incinerated nearby due to a barbecue grill malfunction.[3]

However in an alternate ending for Final Destination 3, a newspaper article revealed that Kimberly and Officer Burke were shredded into bits by a wood chipper after an unmanned vehicle crashed into the windows of the hardware store they were in. The couple managed to sneak into the back door until Kimberly's coat was slowly sucked by the woodchipper. Officer Burke helps Kimberly, yet their efforts were ineffective.[28]

The role of Kimberly Corman was given to Canadian actress A. J. Cook, who previously starred in the 1999 film The Virgin Suicides. Director David Ellis and producer Craig Perry were amazed by her sensitivity and vulnerability in her performance, and she was hired instantly. Ellis and Perry praised her act, with Perry stating that "[they] were at the beginning of what's going to be a long successful career for her." Ellis describe her role as "a girl who can have some fun cause they're going on a trip and they'll gonna have a good time, yet someone who can stand up to Clear, to come and challenge Clear on a race, and to bother with Clear."[33][34] The character's surname was based by writer Jeffrey Reddick to American director Roger Corman, who directed the horror comedy film The Little Shop of Horrors.[25] Originally, Kimberly and her father Michael's surname was Burroughs (in honor of Canadian actress Jackie Burroughs, who starred as Kate Flynn in the acclaimed crime thriller film The Grey Fox) instead of Corman in the original script, but the writers decided to change it in the script revision.[35]

"The survivors of the highway accident aren't nearly as likeable as the survivors of Flight 180. Most of them are morons or jerks, making it difficult to care about their struggle with death. Of the new characters, only A.J. Cook's Kimberly elicits the slightest bit of sympathy."

— Andrew Manning of Radio Free Entertainment positively distinguishing A.J. Cook from the new set of actors in Final Destination 2.[26]

Cook's performance met mixed reviews among critics. Robert Koehler of Variety said that "the giddy sequences also help in getting past the generally awful thesping, led by Cook, whose blurry grasp of emotions betrays Ellis' apparent disinterest in his actors."[23] Dustin Putman of TheMovieBoy.com commented about Cook's emotional scenes:

Taking over where Devon Sawa's Alex took off, A.J. Cook (2001's "Out Cold") is serviceable as the premonition-fueled Kimberly, but doesn't evoke enough emotion in the scenes following the brutal deaths of her close friends.[22]

Nevertheless, Robin Clifford of Reeling Reviews stated that "Cook was strident as the catalyst that sparks events with her premonitions of disaster and her fervent desire to cheat the Reaper."[24]

Thomas Burke

New York State Police Trooper Thomas "Tom" Burke is the male lead of Final Destination 2, played by Michael Landes.[19] He is a highway patrol officer stationed in Westchester County, and is one of the survivors of the Route 23 pile-up.[20] He is the eighth and final survivor of Route 23 to die.[28]

Thomas was born somewhere in New York.[32] He currently resides in Westchester County, and is one of the stationed police officers in the Route 23 sub-station.[3] Besides highway patrol, Thomas also performs secondary tasks such as police investigation and crime scene cleanup. During a stake-out with his partner, Thomas was reassigned to clean the remains of Billy Hitchcock, avoiding a fatal shoot-out which took his partner's life.[3][32]

In Kimberly's vision he is the first to die when a log flies straight through his squad car. Thomas willingly agrees to help Kimberly save the group from Death with the help of Clear Rivers, the last survivor of Flight 180. Nonetheless, their attempts prove unsuccessful. Clear suggests to the couple to meet with mortician William Bludworth, who helps the latter by claiming about how new life can defeat Death. Kimberly realizes that pregnant survivor Isabella Hudson can save them, however this proves false since Isabella was meant to live even in the premonition. After two more deaths, Kimberly sacrifices herself for Thomas' safety by driving the van she is riding to a lake, however Thomas rescues her and sends her to a hospital for recovery. Thinking she and Thomas finally cheated Death, they went to a picnic with the Gibbons family, who tells them how their son Brian Gibbons was saved from Death by the survivors. To everyone's surprise, Brian is incinerated nearby due to a barbecue grill malfunction.[3]

However in an alternate ending of Final Destination 3, a newspaper article revealed that Kimberly and Thomas were shredded into bits by a woodchipper after an unmanned vehicle crashed into the windows of the hardware store they were at. The couple managed to sneak into the back door until Kimberly's coat was slowly sucked by the woodchipper. Thomas helps Kimberly, yet their efforts were ineffective.[28]

Michael Landes, who starred as Jimmy Olsen in the first season of the TV series Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, was casted as male lead Thomas Burke. Ellis commented that he "just wanted to find someone who's young and who can relate to these kids. It wasn't an older guy, but [someone] still strong enough and yet sensitive." Ellis noted that Landes "brought this really good balance to his part."[33] Landes was casted a day after his audition, which caused flight schedule problems on his departure two days after. As a result, Landes decided to cancel his appointments, and he became available a day after.[33] The character's surname was based by writer Jeffrey Reddick to American actor Paul Burke, who starred as Detective Adam Flint in the police drama TV series Naked City.[25]

Rory Peters

Rory Peters is one of the survivors in Final Destination 2, portrayed by Jonathan Cherry.[19] He is a drug addict who acts as a comic relief for the film. He is the fifth survivor of Route 23 to die.[3]

Rory resides somewhere in New York.[32] As a stoner, Rory frequently underestimates things and doesn't take anyone seriously. Before the incident, Rory travelled to Paris, France to spend his vacation. While there, Rory was supposed to watch a film inside a movie theater until he witnessed Carter Horton's death nearby, disgusting himself and avoiding his own death after the theater he was going into collapsed due to unverified circumstances.[3][32] Rory is killed in the pile up when a garbage truck hits his car.

After the pile-up, Rory, Flight 180 survivor Clear Rivers and the other survivors gather inside Thomas' apartment to keep each other safe. Moments after, survivor Nora Carpenter dies, forcing the remaining group to flee. As they drive to meet with survivor Isabella Hudson, the group's SUV nearly collides with Isabella's van, plunging their vehicle to a farm. As media arrive to cover the event, farm resident Brian Gibbons tries to help the trapped survivor Kat Jennings. Rory suddenly pulls Brian out of a speeding newsvan's path, saving him. Meanwhile, rescuers try to save Kat by jamming her car door, conversely sending Kat's head to a protruding PVC pipe. Kat's cigarette ashes fall from her hands, landing to a trail of leaked oil from the newsvan before. The van explodes, propelling a barbed wire fence to Rory, slicing him into pieces.[3]

"What I think was surprising on him was that from all of the humor he's involved and his sort of itchiness that he has with Kat, there is some moments where he reveals how vulnerable he really is and so the shield comes down and right in there you're really becoming symphatetic to Rory. You like him at first cause he's the funny guy, but then you care about him because you realize that there's a place that humor comes from that we all share."

— Craig Perry emphasizing the vulnerability beneath Rory Peters in Final Destination 2.[33]

Jonathan Cherry, who was recently casted as Rudy Curien in the 2003 video game adaptation film House of the Dead, was hired as stoner Rory Peters. Writer Eric Bress was impressed when Cherry was casted, claiming that "Cherry is awesome, awesome casting cause he's just so funny and the way he delivers his lines. It's like "Oh yeah. That's good! That's better!"" Cherry said that portraying the role was "a lot of fun" and described Rory as "a very opposite of me, actually." In the script, Bress said that Rory was his favorite character to write since "he's great comic relief, he's got a drug problem, he's funny, and he's all that."[33] The character's surname was based by writer Jeffrey Reddick to American actor Brock Peters, who starred as Thomas Robinson in the thriller drama film To Kill a Mockingbird.[25]

Cherry's performance received mixed reviews from critics. Robert Koehler of Variety said that "Cherry offered some dry comic balance as the requisite stoner dude among the survivors";[23] while Andrew O'Hehir of Salon.com exclaimed that "Cherry nicely underplays his canned role as the Spicoli-esque drug burnout, achieving the movie's one moment of real pathos when he asks Kimberly to destroy his paraphernalia and porn -- "anything that'd break my mom's heart.""[36]

Kat Jennings

Katherine "Kat" Jennings is one of the survivors in Final Destination 2, portrayed by Keegan Connor Tracy.[19] She is a businesswoman who survived the Route 23 pile-up.[20] She is the fourth survivor of Route 23 to die.[3]

Kat resides somewhere in New York.[32] Kat works as a marketing consultant for a business firm, although the film and the novel doesn't specify its name. Kat had a successful career on her occupation as well as her relationship with her partner; however, she proves to be repulsive and short-tempered towards her associates and companions. Prior to the crash, Kat was supposed to meet with a client at a bed and breakfast via bus when suddenly the bus hits Terry Chaney, disgusting Kat and preventing her from suffering suffocation during a gas leak in the lodge.[3][32]In the pile up she is killed when her truck hits a log and flips, flattening her against the roof.

Following the pile-up, Kat, Flight 180 survivor Clear Rivers and the other survivors gather inside Thomas' apartment to keep each other safe. After deciding to leave, Kat witnesses survivor Nora Carpenter die, forcing her and the remaining group to flee. As they drive to meet with survivor Isabella Hudson, the group's SUV nearly collides with Isabella's van, plunging their vehicle to a farm. Subsequently, Kat avoids herself from being impaled by a protruding PVC pipe. Trapped in her SUV, rescuers try to save Kat. Realizing she's safe, Kat begins smoking. Unknown to her, the rescuers triggered her airbag with their jaws of life, impaling her head to the pipe. Kat's dead hand drops a cigarette, starting a chain reaction which also kills survivor Rory Peters.[3]

Keegan Connor Tracy, who was previously casted as Dawn Bryerson in the 2002 psychological thriller film Blackwoods, played businesswoman Kat Jennings. Perry described her casting as "full of energy" and "embodies the self-aware nervous energy of Kat Jennings." Perry also noted that Tracy "was able to create a character that you kind of dislike intensely but you don't dislike so much that you don't understand why she is the way she is."[33] Perry was really amazed by the character, defining the role as "someone who is really so self-absorbed that without being overly malicious is incredibly rude and insensitive to the feelings of all those around her."[33]

Eugene Dix

Eugene Dix is one of the survivors in Final Destination 2, portrayed by Terrence C. Carson.[19] He is a sarcastic school teacher who survived the Route 23 pile-up.[20] He is the sixth survivor of Route 23 to die.[3]

Eugene resides somewhere in New York.[32] He is very intelligent, but is very sarcastic and realistic. He took a degree in Education, as implied by her job in his elementary school.[3][32] Prior to the crash, Eugene was substituting Ms. Valerie Lewton's job at Mt. Abraham High when surprisingly one of his students in his original school brought a knife and stabbed his substitute teacher during class.[3][32] In the pile up he is killed when he hits a log and his motorcycle hits his torso.

Following the pile-up, Eugene, Flight 180 survivor Clear Rivers and the other survivors gather inside Thomas' apartment to keep each other safe. After deciding to leave, Eugene witnesses survivor Nora Carpenter die, and attempts to committ suicide with Thomas' gun since he wanted to prove that he has control of his life. However, his attempt fails (despite the gun being fully loaded), forcing the remaining group to flee. As they drive to meet with survivor Isabella Hudson, the group's SUV nearly collides with Isabella's van, plunging their vehicle to a farm. Subsequently, a PVC pipe punctures Eugene's kidney. As medics arrive, Eugene is transported to the hospital. While there, Eugene helplessly watches the vents close and his defibrillator failing after receiving a dose of anaesthesia from his nurse. The machine released oxygen throughout his whole room, however he manages to fix the machine before it kills him from hypoxia. Suddenly, Clear arrives after a long search for him. The door loosens the plug of his defibrillator, dettaching it from its socket, creating a spark that caused a huge fire throughout Eugene's room, killing Eugene.[3]

Former Living Single star Terrence C. Carson was hired as mentor Eugene Dix. The crew was very enticed of Carson's casting, with writer Eric Bress mentioning how his "originally envisioned Woody Allen-type of character has got ten more times life than it ever had" when Carson auditioned for the role. "It's got ten times the personality, this charisma that T.C. brings to it... he's just, he's such a great presence.", he added. Similarly, Perry was astonished of how Carson "can take the most absurd lines and deliver them in such grammatized form" and how he "is able to work with his eyes" and his "deep rich speaking voice."[33]

Carson's performance was generally favorable among critics. Robert Koehler of Variety said that "Carson as skeptical Eugene energizes what had been a rote conception on the page";[23] while Andrew O'Hehir of Salon.com claimed that "Carson, with his 1953 Harlem jazz-poet look, is especially good as the cool, cynical black guy who falls to pieces at the mere appearance of a woman's severed head in his lap."[36]

Nora Carpenter

Nora Carpenter is one of the survivors in Final Destination 2, portrayed by Lynda Boyd.[19] She is the mother of Tim Carpenter.[20] She is the third survivor of Route 23 to die.[3]

Nora resides somewhere in New York.[32] Nora is a widow living alongside her son Tim. She and her son have a special bond with each other after her husband died three years prior the accident.[3][32]

After a visit to Tim's dentist, Tim is crushed by a glass pane, devastating Nora. Later, Nora, Flight 180 survivor Clear Rivers and the other survivors gather inside Thomas' apartment to keep each other safe. Still distressed with Tim's loss, Nora decides to leave with survivor Eugene Dix by using the apartment's elevator. While inside, the remaining group in Tom's place warns her that Death is after her and warns her through her phone. In the elevator, Nora receives the call and learns that she will be killed by a "man with hooks". Scared by the old man carrying prothestic limbs beside them in the lift, Nora panics out of the lift as it opens; however her ponytails were entangled with the limbs, pulling her head back in as the elevator doors closes. As the elevator goes upward, Nora's head in the elevator's interior and her body outside rises with the lift. While Eugene and the old man pull Nora's head inward, Clear and survivor Kat Jennings pull Nora's body outward from the lift. As she starts to cough blood, her neck was finally crushed by the doors, decapitating her.[3]

Tim Carpenter

Timothy "Tim" Carpenter (portrayed by James Kirk) was supposed to die in a an explosion alongside his mother on Route 23. After nearly suffocating at the dentist, Tim scares away some pigeons, which causes a construction worker to hit a lever, causing a window to crush Tim. He is the second survivor from the route 23 pile-up to die. He was originally supposed to be portrayed as about 7 years old, but ethical concerns and standards led to his age being raised to 15. He is also the youngest survivor of the series at age 15.

Evan Lewis

Evan Lewis (portrayed by David Paetkau) was supposed to die in the Route 23 pile-up when his car drove through a gas tank. Shortly before the pile-up, he won a lottery. He manages to escape a fire in his apartment, but after falling on the ground, the fire-escape ladder slides down and impales him through his eye. He is the first survivor to die from the Pile-up.

Isabella Hudson

Isabella Hudson (portrayed by Justina Machado) was one of the survivors of the Route 23 pile up accident. Isabella was a delievery girl who was also nine months pregnant. When the mortician told Tom, Clear, and Kimberly that they can escape Death via new life, the group believe that by delievering Isabella's unborn baby, they can save themselves from death. With this, Tom asked his fellow officer friend to put her into custody; however, Isabella's water broke in her prison cell and was immediately driven to the hospital. Isabella gave birth and the group was glad that they finally escaped death. This was until Kimberly had another vision that Isabella was never supposed to die in the pile up.

Shaina McKlank

One of Kimberly's friends who dies when an eighteen-wheeler crashes into Kimberly's car shortly after Kimberly has her vision at the beginning of the film.

Wendy Christensen

Mary Elizabeth Winstead, famous for her scream queen roles in horror films such as Black Christmas, Death Proof and The Thing, played Wendy Christensen in Final Destination 3.

Wendy Christensen is the main character of Final Destination 3, portrayed by Mary Elizabeth Winstead. She is the first visionary to have multiple complete visions, and she is shown to be a control freak. Wendy is celebrating grad night at the local amusement park with her friends when she and several class mates board the Devil's Flight roller coaster. Wendy then has a premonition that the roller coaster will derail and kill everyone on it. Panicking, she gets removed from the ride and causes a fight to break out, which gets nine other people removed. She is unable to stop the ride and her best friend and boyfriend die. Wendy later realizes death is after the survivors and clues to their deaths are in the pictures taken the night of the roller coaster derailment. She teams up with Kevin Fischer to save the survivors and manage to get death to skip themselves, Wendy's sister Julie, and Ian McKinley. In her photo she is with her boyfriend and his face is blurred. Originally she believed the clue to be that she was wearing the McKinley school shirt and that she would be killed by Ian. This turned out to be false and that the clue was actually the blur, representing the faces of people she sees while on a subway train. Wendy survives the initial crash of the subway, but is then run over by an oncoming train. She is the tenth and last survivor from Devil's Flight roller coaster accident to die.

In the Choose Your Fate feature on the DVD, before Ian is crushed, you have the option of choosing if he will "jump left" or "jump right". Though Ian's fate is the same either way, choosing "jump right" leads to an ending where Wendy destroys the camera, and she, Julie and Kevin walk away unharmed (though the camera takes one final shot of them).

Wendy is named Benjamin Christensen who directed Häxan continuing the tradition started in the first film where most of the characters are named after horror movie makers. Alexis Bledel auditioned for the role of Wendy but it was given to Mary Elizabeth Winstead.

Kevin Fischer

Kevin Fischer is portrayed by Ryan Merriman and the second main character in Final Destination 3. Kevin was supposed to die on Devil's Flight roller coaster but evaded his end thanks to Wendy Christensen. He researched and discovered the Volée Flight 180 disaster and convinced Wendy that the events were reoccurring with them. They teamed up to save the other survivors. His photo was taken at close range disfiguring his face and causing a bright light to reflect. He is nearly killed at a festival by a small explosion, but he is saved by Wendy. He is in the same subway accident with Wendy and falls on a window which was light up by sparking lights much like in his photo. The window then breaks and he is crushed between the train car and the wall. He is the ninth survivor to die.

Ian McKinley

Ian McKinley (portrayed by Kris Lemche) was supposed to die on the Devil's Flight roller coaster crash. In his photo there are wooden planks with points pointed down at him. While working at a hardware store, a bunch of fence posts fall and nearly kill Ian, but he is saved by Kevin. However in the chaos his girlfriend Erin is killed. He becomes obsessed with Wendy, blaming her for Erin's death. While at the festival, fireworks damage a cherry picker, causing it to fall down. Ian is then crushed by the sign it was holding. He was the seventh survivor to die. In the Choose-Their-Fate edition if Ian is killed normally, the film continues. If Map is selected, an extra scene, where a newspaper blows off of a homeless man who was using it as a blanket, is inserted. It reveals that the survivors of Final Destination 2 were killed and the viewer is given the option to read the paper and get the details. Kimberly and Thomas were sucked into a faulty wood chipper owned by the farmer of the second film, after they tried to escape a runaway car that was owned by Evan Lewis from the previous film. The death certificate was given by the doctor who was pregnant in the previous film and thought to be the key to surviving death's plan. They had met at the area by coincidence and according to the article, were haunted by the whole incident, with Kimberly dropping out of school and Thomas being sent down to desk duty. After the newspaper sequence, the film ends as normal, except that the train wreck ends the film, with the final shot being Wendy getting smashed by the oncoming train.

Erin Ulmer

Alexz Johnson originally went to audicion for the role of Julie but took the role of Erin.

Erin Ulmer (portrayed by Alexz Johnson) was meant to die alongside her boyfriend Ian McKinley in the Devil's Flight roller coaster derailment. In her photo Ian is pointing a fake gun at her head. She works at a hardware store along with Ian. When Ian is saved from death by Kevin, Erin becomes the next in line to die and promptly falls back onto a nail gun which discharged several nails into her head. She is the fifth survivor to die.

In the Choose Their Fate edition by choosing to have Ian fire a warning shot at the pigeons, the hardware store scene is slightly altered. Erin is still killed by the nail gun, but this time she loses her balance when the pigeons (who didn't leave because Ian didn't kill any of them) fly in her face and cause her to stumble backwards. The scene ends showing a pigeon pecking away at Ian in the photo Wendy took at the carnival.

One of the critics wrote in The Philadelphia Inquirer: "The characters are so loathsome, you're glad to see them go. Except for two: the goth couple Ian (Kris Lemche) and Erin (Alexz Johnson). He's a cynical know-it-all, like Dennis Miller with black fingernails; she's like Parker Posey with raccoon mascara.."[37]

Amanda Crew audicioned for the role but instead took the role of Julie.

He is the third to die. In the Choose-Your-Fate version, the option is given to honk Kevin's horn one more time and subsequently allowing Kevin and Wendy to pull Frankie out of the convertible just before the fan hits it. If this option is chosen, Frankie becomes the only one to survive the movie to the end, albeit getting arrested shortly after his rescue for sexual harassment.

She was the ninth survivor of the McKinley Speedway accident to die. In the original alternate ending (where Nick commits suicide) she and Janet are at the mall where Nick says that death is still after them but she and Janet do not believe.
