Actors Who Almost Became Peeta Mellark
Celebuzz continues their 100 days of Hunger Games with a list of actors who could have been Peeta. Among those who auditioned for the role are Alex Pettyfer, Hunter Parish, and other Hunger Games stars, Alexander Ludwig, and Liam Hemsworth. Check out their list of actresses who were vying for the role of Katniss too! It’s interesting to see what might have been. Are there any on these lists that you wish would have gotten the part? Any that you are glad didn’t?









I’m glad they picked Josh Hutcherson! In my mind he is the PERFECT Peeta!
Josh is the best!!!
Actors Who Almost Became Peeta Mellark, but didn’t (haha)… because no one can beat Josh Hutcherson with this role!
My cousin was so upset they picked josh…. she wanted them to pick alex pettyfer but he is nothing like i imagined peeta, hes to tall to skinny to beardy and to british.
well in the beginning i was all for alex pettyfer..when josh was choosen i was soooooo sad…but after seeing alex in beastly, i saw y he wsnt choosen…he’s too good @ playing the snobby, popular, self caring type of guy..yeah his character in the end is caring, but alex just didnt have all the qualities 2 b peeta…now im glad josh was choosen!
I wouldve loved it if alex pettyfer played peeta but i think im staring to fall in love with josh just because of his acting skills in bridge to teribithia he’s such a sweetheart!
I am definitely glad Alex Pettyfer didn’t get the role of Peeta for 2 reasons: 1. Josh Hutcherson is PERFECT for Peeta. 2. I’d love to see Alex as Finnick Odair. He has that perfect look and cockiness about him that would suit the role well.
I’m glad they picked Josh he decently
GO TEAM PEETA I LIVE YOUU
Made a great peeta
Josh. Josh, all the way.
