Roles in television movies followed quickly, including *JFK: Reckless Youth* (1993), *And Then There Was One* (1994), *To Save the Children* (1994), and *The Haunting of Lisa* (1996), and he appeared as Edward in the *Goosebumps* episode "A Night in Terror Tower" (1996).[5](https://www.encyclopedia.com/education/news-wires-white-papers-and-books/sevier-corey-1984) His feature debut came as the boy in a commercial in *Tommy Boy* (1995).[5](https://www.encyclopedia.com/education/news-wires-white-papers-and-books/sevier-corey-1984) • [6](https://www.tribute.ca/people/biography/corey-sevier/12062/)
