Sam Claflin, known for roles in "Pirates of the Caribbean" and more recently, "Snow White and the Huntsman," has been cast in the role of Finnick.


I like him!!! GOOD JOB CASTING DIRECTORS.


Astra Wait... I thought Grant Gustin was playing Finnick.


Andrea Blanch Is it true? Because i recently checked imdb, Grant Gustin is still on the list although it was tagged as 'rumored' .. Is it official? :))

l It says he's been offered the role, not accepted. He's not my perfect Finnick, though. I'm not sure what I think of him yet.


Astra I think he's good.


Kaye S. I'm expecting someone. I don't know if i'm disappointed or what. But well. Let's see


Jeanette Sam Claflin is fantastic... and adorable. I hope the rumor about Grant Gustin isn't true. ._.

This gave me the impression that it was official. I wanted Ryan Kwanten but I like this guy.

Ok maybe not officially unvielled but in the works. A bunch of the news sites are reporting it as a cinched deal...we will see I guess.

Ooh, Ryan Kwanten would have been so good! At least physically :)

Dee He is cute, but I don't really know how I feel about him yet. And because I have only seen him in Pirates I can't judge him on his acting abilities. I think they could have done a bit better, but they also could have done way worse.

So did I! He would have been absolutely perfect!!

Lila I like him. Not really who I pictured but he would be fine.


Tammy I like him but he is not how i imagined Finnick to look like. He just doesn't look like the guy i pictured. I also heard another rumor that Zac Efron might play Finnick. And there in another thread saying Justin Bieber might play Finnick :P I think that Sam Clafin would play a better Finnick than Justin Bieber XP

I think anyone would play a better Finnick than Justin Bieber....


Bailey Bohn No no no no no.
Garret Hedlund.

My friend and I will be making a petition to put on pinterest to send to the producer asking for Garrett Hedlund we are so dissapointed he didn't get it


Darlene Well he's pretty.

I think he will be great!


Jeanette I've never seen Sam Claflin act a more serious role than 'boy-falls-in-love-with-girl' so I'm looking forward to him playing Finnick (if this is actually true). Every actor needs a chance to show what they can do. I'm actually quite excited about his landing this role. :)

Anyway, like I said before, he's fantastic and adorable.

Ain I can't think of anyone who will be a perfect Finnick Odair. But I think Sam Claflin isn't a bad choice for the role. Isn't Grant Gustin a bit too young for the role?


Rachel Andrea wrote: "I think anyone would play a better Finnick than Justin Bieber...."

Very true.

Rosie O'Donnell would play a better Finnick than Justin Bieber.


Mercury hes very good looking i can see him as Finnick

Yay! Thank you!


message 28: by Rachel (new)

Rachel I always imagined Finnick as a ginger but I like Sam in the role :)


message 29: by [deleted user] (new)

They may dye his hair. They did good with Peeta's and Gale's.


Tammy Andrea wrote: "I think anyone would play a better Finnick than Justin Bieber...."

yea


Marisa Ever wrote: "I always imagined Finnick as a ginger but I like Sam in the role :)"

Ditto this. Or, at least a more russet color, but I do approve of Sam (look wise). I haven't seen his acting at all, so can't comment on that.


Kill the Spare I wanted Matt Bomer.. but yeah ok.. Sam's not too bad for Finnick..


message 33: by Roan (new) - rated it 5 stars

Roan I wanted Garret Hedlund as Finnick


message 34: by [deleted user] (new)

Not what I pictured FINNICK to look like! If he is playing FINNICK then he better live up to it. I don't know who I want to play FINNICK but everybody they are picking is not who I expect. Better than that cursed name/person Justin bieber! *VOMITING*


♥ Alexia -Team Malec ♥ He looks really good for the part, but, It is only rumoured.


~☺MiNi☺~ I think he's terrible for Finnick :/
I imagined him looking younger, and way more handsome.

Car i wasn't expecting him... i think he'll fit the part just fine... but he wouldn't have been my first choice..

Thanks for posting. It sure seems like a sure thing.


Bianca I think he'd be a great finnick


message 41: by Emma (new) - rated it 4 stars

Emma I hope he dyes his hair like Josh Hutcherson did, because Finnick is supposed to have dirty blonde hair, right? I pictured him like that anyway.


Chriselle Searched him up... he seems like a pretty good fit. Just a little tweaks by the stylist on his look and he'd be acceptable.


Savannah Suppose they will be dying his hair? And a tan? Other than that, I think he will do great, lol. He's got the face I imagined for this character, and build.

Jo He's sweet, that's all in it for me.


Taggerung Finnick is described by Katniss as having green eyes, a tan, and bronze hair.


Idalis Brimos I think Grant Gustin would play Finnick way better but its up to the casting directors so lets see who they pick.


Teresa I saw what Sam Claflin looks like. He's VERY Handsome.

That's easy. All the people behind hair and make-up can take care of that. They can put Green Contacts on his eyes, Give him a do-it-yourself tan with that lotion tanning lotion that gives him color to his skin. And hair, they can dye it. All problems solved and he would be as described by Katniss.


Aribug team finnick all the way


Katelyn OMG HE'S SOOOOO ATTRACTIVE!! <3 ;)I think he looks like the perfect finnick!
