A new name has been thrown in the mix of potential actors to play the handsome and brave Finnick Odair in the “Hunger Games” sequel “Catching Fire”: Hunter Parrish, best known to fans as Silas on “Weeds.”
Being a longtime fan of “Weeds” (and of irresistible masculine charm in general), we can only say: ZOMGyaykhzfdisa9ejknzjsgaldwdiuhj@@@!!!
On a more serious note, fans are campaigning online to get Parrish the role. He's been in the “Hunger Games” race before, when he was up for the role of Peeta that eventually went to Josh Hutcherson.
MTV News caught up with the actor and asked him how he felt about all that: Parrish, always the modest, was thrilled to be considered but stressed that he would no longer get ahead of himself by imaging he'd already gotten the part.
“I think you just kind of step back, and if it happens, it happens. I'm not going to really spend too much time thinking about it, but I'd love to. I wouldn't cast myself, but that's not helping me getting cast for that movie,” he said.
Garrett Hedlund of “TRON: Legacy” is also up for the part of Finnick. Which one would you rather see?
