Finnick Odair

While Finnick Odair is not likely to feature in the Hunger Games movie (we only meet him in Catching Fire) if all three books are adapted for film, then someone will have to play him.  I was wondering who you think that should be? There’s been a couple of suggestions on our forum, but I’d love to know what you think.

Here’s what we know about Finnick:

Finnick Odair is the male tribute from District 4 who won the 65th Hunger Games at the age of 14. During those Games he was sent a trident, which might have been one of the most expensive gifts ever given in the Games. He excelled at using the trident as a weapon and with his skill for making nets, he would trap his opponents and then kill them.

He was also a mentor for the District 4 tributes during the 74th Hunger Games and took part in the 3rd Quarter Quell during which he was part of an alliance with Peeta, Katniss, Wiress, Beetee, Johanna Mason and his previous mentor, Mags.

He’s described as being tall, muscular and athletic, with golden skin, bronze-colored hair, and seafoam green eyes. Katniss puts his success down to a combination of his physical skill and unprecedented popularity among the Capitol.

His one and only true love is Annie Cresta, the 70th Hunger Games victor who went insane when her partner tribute got beheaded in the Games.

  1. Ian Somerhalder or Tom Welling are the only men pretty enough to play Finnick. I love Taylor Kitsch, but he just doesn’t fit the vibe of Finnick.

  2. Okay don’t call me a twilight freak because in fact I hate it, but I think that Rob Pattinson would be perfect for Finnick…. he fits that description down to a T, and just because he plays a sparkly idiotic vampire doesn’t mean he’s a bad actor. He wasn’t bad in Harry Potter. I just prefer to ignore the fact that he plays Edward. In spite of all that twilight crap he’d be able to play a cocky egotistical guy in the second one, but a genuinely good guy in Mockingjay. Ignore twilight, pretend it doesn’t exist, and go watch Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.

  3. Two words: Matthew Goode

  4. Amber Sep 1st 2010

    I could picture Orlando Bloom, cleanshaven, with blond hair as Finnick, because he’s handsome and looks good blond (We all know him from Lord of the Rings). Along with Ian and maybe Tom, Cindy.
    The others aren’t pretty enough :’(
    If any one suggests Justin Beiber I am going to scream angrily.

  5. Shannon Sep 1st 2010

    Hayden is perfect

  6. Stephanie Sep 1st 2010

    I’m not really sure. I still think the movie will be better if almost every character is an unknown actor, so people will focus more on the storyline rather than who plays who.

  7. I would prefer most of the main cast in the movie people we’ve never heard of before, and some of the side characters like Haymitch and Effie to be big hollywood stars. Then, if the movie turns out to be a big floop, it won’t damage anyone’s career.

  8. Um hello, James Franco?!

  9. Cassandra Sep 1st 2010

    I kinda like Jared Padalecki he might be a little to tan for the part though then second choice would be Jensen Ackles maybe?

  10. Tenara Sep 1st 2010

    Hayden ! Only Hayden!

  11. Until I saw the post above suggesting James Franco, I was set on Hayden. But now I am totally down with James Franco! He is definitely stunning and charming enough. Not sure how tall he is, but I am sold.

    I’m a big fan of both both Matthew Goode and Robert Pattinson but I personally don’t think either are right for Finnick.

  12. Umm isn’t it obvious Milo Ventimiglia, Ian Somerhalder and Logan Lerman (Can’t choose).But Chris Pine could do.

  13. Jackson Rathbone ;)

  14. Natahsa Sep 1st 2010

    CHRIS PINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! he was AMAZAING in Star Trek!

  15. Allen Sep 2nd 2010

    I just posted this on the movie update, but I noticed this story talks about the actor and there is a mention of that in this story. I like all those people but I think they are all too old.

  16. Julia Ordaz Sep 5th 2010

    I think Hayden Christensen would be a great Peeta, and Chris Pine
    would be a good Finnick.

  17. Jelsay Sep 7th 2010

    y’all need to think about kellan lutz

  18. Geneva Sep 8th 2010

    If i’ve heard of him, he’s too known. Sure, that picture of hayden just happens to be a good one, (really good) but after watching Jumper…..that’s just not Finnick okay? As my new favorite character of ALL time his actor must be new, hot, and talented and most of these posts dont fit the new and especially not the “hot” criteria of this. sorry.

  19. Chelsea Sep 8th 2010

    I think that Jensen Ackles would be great!. hes a bit short but i think it would be a good pick. Or chirs pine (:
    they would both be so good.

  20. Bradley Cooper.

  21. Trevor Donovan is so Finnick Odair

  22. hertwstdupfrown Sep 14th 2010

    wow i vote for DEVON GRAYE

  23. cinnalvr2112 Oct 9th 2010

    ummmm adrien grenier??? :D ian somerhalder would be peeeeeeerfect though – as long as he wouldn’t bring too much damon into it.

  24. i totally agree that Ian Somerhalder is DEFINITELY pretty enough… and please ignore twilight and just watch GoF. Ian Somerhalder could definitelyyyyyyyyyyyyyy do it though… HAAWWWT. :) Damn.. if Ian’s Finnick… do I wanna be Annie!~!

  25. Laurel Oct 10th 2010

    Ian Somerhalder. He already knows how to play an egotistal male. Look at Damon! <3

  26. one name people. IAN SOMERHALDER. :) <3 (L)

  27. I think James Maslow (from BTR) should play finnick becuse he seems 2 fit the decription of how finnick looks.

  28. LANDON LIBOIRON! hands down! i know hes not on the list, but none of the guys on the list are attractive….

  29. rev02a Nov 7th 2010

    As I was reading, I imagined James Marsters as Finnick– only he’s too old. :(

  30. Finnickod4 Nov 9th 2010

    Trevor Donovan is Finnick Odair

  31. Alex Pettyfer is too old-looking to play Peeta, but maybe he’d make a good Finnick or Cato or maybe even Gale if he had black hair.

  32. Anastasia Nov 19th 2010

    Ian Somerhalder=YUM
    and he’s definitely pretty enough. :]

  33. I can definitely see Ian Somerhalder, but my dream Finnick is Paul Walker

  34. I like Philip Ettinger as Finnick. Not very well known (he is in the movie Twelve) so he would be a fresh face. http://ia.media-imdb.com/images/M/MV5BNjMzOTQ1MDQ4Nl5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTcwNTkzNjg0Mw@@._V1._SX214_CR0,0,214,314_.jpg

  35. jerby Dec 5th 2010

    Alex pettyfer would be a better finnick then peeta.

  36. Deliantha Jan 6th 2011

    i think the same as cindy the first reply on this site Ian sommerholder or Tom Welling would fite perfect for finnick hope the first movie is so good that the other two books will be a movie too.

  37. Annie Jan 9th 2011

    Google David Gandy. What a man.

  38. Annie B Jan 18th 2011

    the person i feel fit’s finnick in personality and looks is Trevor Donovan

    http://www.imdb.com/media/rm1356497152/nm1769806

  39. IAN SOMERHALDER!!!!!

  40. Hailee Stienfeld = Katniss
    Taylor Kitsch = Finnick <3
    Kenton Duty = Peeta
    Drew Roy = Gale
    Viggo Morenson (they would need to do make up and stuff) or Robert Downey Jr. = Haymitch

  41. Rhonda Jan 27th 2011

    No Finick should be Chillian Murphy. It would be too good. He has the feminine qualities to make him a pretty boy but you still see his all man!!!

  42. Heather Jan 29th 2011

    Justin Hartley.
    I think is perfect. If you saw him in the Aquaman episode that was supposed to be a spin-off of Smallville (in which he plays the Green Arrow) you’d see how fluid he looks in the water, it’s perfect. Here’s a pic: http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b233/deviant182/JustinHartley/aquaman.jpg

  43. FInnick needs to be played by Chord Overstreet!

  44. meghan Feb 5th 2011

    Zac Efron all the way. Tan, pretty, blue eyes. And he’s ripped enough to be Finnick. He’s also the right age — mid twenties. A lot of people being mentioned are way off as far as age.

  45. I think Robert Pattinson would be perfect for this role, and I’m not just saying that because I’m a Twilight fan.
    If you really think about it he fits perfectly, the hair, the body, the age, the eyes, they all fit.

  46. I think Freddie Stroma would be PERFECT as Finnick!

  47. Heaven Mar 1st 2011

    OMG . No way that zac efron plays finnick. everyone would only think of high school musical and then there are all those kiddies in the film .
    I think a very good suggest was from Lucia. I like chord overstreet

  48. I think Garrett Hedlund would make an awesome Finnick.

  49. jessica Mar 9th 2011

    Ever since I read the book I pictured Justin Hartley to play finnick hands down best pick for that character!!!!

  50. Lindsay Mar 16th 2011

    Out of this list, definitely Chris Pine. But Arnie Hammer (from The Social Network and the new superhero movie) could work. But Chris Pine does the cocky but damaged thing so well. And is so, so attractive.

  51. HungerGames 101 Mar 20th 2011

    OK well i think that it is obvious that bradley cooper should be the one that plays Finnick he is the best or the part. Finnick is hot and so it he….

  52. Mequin Mar 21st 2011

    Okay, I could totaly see Jams Franco as Finnick, Jared Padalecki could probably pull off an awesome Peeta, but I do think that unknown actors would be better for most of the characters. Especialy the main characters and the younger characters. Look at Harry Potter. Main rolls as unknows (well, obviously not anymore, but you know what I mean. lol) and the older, side characters were more known.

  53. Vanessa Mar 24th 2011

    SEAN FARIS…i dare you to say he’s not finnick ;)

  54. sabrina Mar 24th 2011

    ohhhhhhhhh yes sean faris would be perfect there’s no doubt!

  55. What about robert pattinson? With contacts, a tan and a serious workout???

  56. Okay, I’m sorry. But Robert Pattinson is HORRIBLE for the role. I think Ian Somerhalder would be great, even though his eyes aren’t that GORGEOUS sea green that Finnick’s are supposed to be. But the others aren’t cocky and pretty or anything like Finnick is supposed to be.

  57. Bianca Apr 1st 2011

    OMG! I think Ian Somerhalder should play Finnick he woukd be PERFECT. I totally agree with Emily. =)

  58. Kristen Apr 10th 2011

    I think that Garrett Hedlund should be Finnick. He reminds me so much of him. And he looks just how I pictured Finnick to look. Finnick is my favorite character and I want him to be casted right.

  59. RamonaFlowers Apr 18th 2011

    Jared Padalecki would be perfect!!! The guy is about 6’5″, super good looking, charming, great build and a really sexy voice.

    http://www.listal.com/viewimage/885324

  60. Behnice Apr 19th 2011

    I would say Liam Court or Ian Somerhalder. :3 they’re both hot.

  61. Behnice Apr 19th 2011

    I would say Matt Lanter, the guy who played Liam Court in 90210 or Ian Somerhalder. :3 they’re both hot.

  62. Robert Pattinson all the way!!!!! When I was reading the books I pictured him the way through them. He looks exactly like Finnick is described in the books… bronze hair… green eyes… and he is definatly hot enough. Rob would be the perfect Finnick

  63. Paul Walker

  64. sabrina Apr 23rd 2011

    Sean Faris, Garrett Hedlund OR Henry Cavill…all gold :)

  65. channing tatum :D that’s all i’m saying.

  66. Pauile Apr 27th 2011

    definitly not robert pattinson or freakn justib bieber ?
    make finnick someone unknown of maybe?
    finnick is my favourite character and i want him to be good .

  67. Cam Gigandet!!!!

  68. grace May 2nd 2011

    FREDDIE STROMA
    Y’ALL NEEDA LOOK UP THE HOTTNESS THAT IS FREDDIE STROMA
    and he can play a cocky guy, he was mclaggen in harry potter but in real life he’s like 23 or 24

  69. #1 Team Peeta :) :) May 4th 2011

    ummmmmmmmmmm i not really sure but i could see chris pine but i really dont kno i should look up actors.

  70. Raider3 May 4th 2011

    Cam Gigandet would be a perfect Finnick. He is for sure hot enough, has the right color eyes, rocking body and could pull off the Finnick’s edge.

  71. Zac Efron

  72. The Rock or Chris

  73. Paulie May 12th 2011

    out of those three i choose the hayden guy ! the other two are :/ for finnick . the hayden guy for sure

  74. Tom Welling. The most gorgeous man.
    Athletic.
    Tall.
    Natural Green Eyes.
    He is Finnick. He has the charisma to show why he was so popular and beloved. And he has the athleticism to show how he won the Games.

  75. Tom Welling. The most gorgeous man.
    Athletic.
    Tall.
    Natural Green Eyes.

    He is Finnick. He has the charisma to show why he was so popular and beloved. And he has the athleticism to show how he won the Games.

  76. Tom Welling. The most gorgeous man.
    Athletic.
    Tall.
    Natural Green Eyes.

    He is Finnick. He has the charisma to show why he was so popular and beloved. And, he has the athleticism to show how he won the Games.

  77. I think that Robert Pattinson would be perfect in the part. I agree with what someone else said about his needing to work out but he actually does have greenish/blue eyes so it’s not a real stretch. He’s got the looks and hair color.

  78. hayden christensen!

  79. Paulie May 13th 2011

    nooo robert pattinson is too famous xD , people will just see him as a vampire in the movie especially since twilight saga & hunger games are both dark movies/books .
    so far hayden christensen is the best , tho i reaaaaaaaaaally want to see some alex pettyfer in this movie :D

  80. i say zac efron. forget the haters, he’s perfect!

  81. zac efron is the first person i think of for finnick. he’s also great at acting cocky. he’s tan, he has the right hair color, he could wear colored contacts for finnick’s sea green eyes, he’s ripped, he’s dreamy, and who wouldnt want to see him in his fishing net costume?

  82. Hunger games fan maddie May 16th 2011

    Ian somerhalder hands down.

  83. I think that the model, Dylan Koroll, looks exactly how I expected Finnick to look like. Just add some seagreen eyes. :)

  84. Noxidih May 25th 2011

    Jensen Ackles all the way if he had green eyes he’d be perfect

  85. Hannah May 30th 2011

    Definately Haden!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Finnick is my FAVORITE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  86. I absolutely adore Finnick! He’s my favorite character! For some reason, I can see Kellan Lutz taking on the role… :]

  87. Paulie Jun 1st 2011

    i know right vivi , finnick is just like :O :O i love him !

  88. Megan Jun 1st 2011

    Efron is too short. I want Tom Welling.

  89. Tyler Apple Jun 1st 2011

    Finnick is also my favorite character, and I think Garrett Hedlund should play him. He has the perfect features for Finnick, all he needs is the sea-foam green eyes.

  90. Annabella Jun 1st 2011

    Finnick is my favorite character, so I don’t want to be dissapointed.Ok, I wouldn’t mind seeing Ian as Finnick, but I personally think if you put a brunette wig on Alex Pettyfer, you would have a beautiful Finnick.

  91. I agree that Finnick needs to be absolutely beautiful in Catching Fire! That’s the way he is in the book! I agree with a lot of the suggestions. Especially Tom Welling, Freddie Stroma, or Dylan Koroll! As soon as Finnick was introduced, I fell in love with him! After I finished the series, I found myself going back and re-reading all of the hilarious things he says and does! I ABSOLUTELY ADORE FINNICK!
    *Seductively* “… Want a sugar cube?” :D !!
    FINNICK = THE MOST BEAUTIFUL FICTION CHARACTER I’VE EVER READ OF. :]

  92. Sarah Jun 3rd 2011

    It is really too bad he is too old for it, but I was picturing Ryan Reynolds when I thought of Finnick. But Ryan is 35 and Finnick is only 24…then Annie his wife would only be 20! This is very sad to think about really…

  93. Nichole Jun 4th 2011

    My vote: RYAN REYNOLDS!!!

  94. Nichole Jun 4th 2011

    Umm, hello?!? Ryan Reynolds!!!!

  95. all these people have this rough look about them…. we need somebody incredibly hot,but in a beautiful way, you know? Angelic, polished look about them too, great smile, eyes that make you melt… thats my type of Finnick! Dunno If anybody on earth really is good enough, but you never know! Also, its not only looks: finnick in the books has this beautiful charisma too, which is part of what makes him so seductive :) R.I.P, Finnick.

  96. Jessica Jun 8th 2011

    Yes Vivi! Finnick is beautiful. People keep mentioning “so and so .. if we just change his hair color, or eyes, or ignore his height, or get him into shape”!

    Tom Welling is already there. No need to change anything! He already has the green eyes, the dark hair, the athletic body! He is gorgeous and fits Finnick perfectly.

  97. Kelleigh Jun 8th 2011

    deffinitely taylor kitsch!! he is so finnick! i think he would play the part so well! ian somerhalder is not big enough to be finnich. i could maybe see tom welling but idk i think as it goes by looks and personality taylor kitsch would be perfect

  98. widad Jun 8th 2011

    I reckon hayden.

  99. taylor kitsch. i pictured him from the start.

  100. CLAY MATTHEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HUGE BLONDE GOOD LOOKING LINEBACKER FOR THE GREEN BAY PACKERS NEVER ACTED BUT WHEN I READ THE BOOKS ALL I THINK ABOUT WHEN FIN’S IS IN THE ROOM IS CLAY

  101. ok I will say this even though finnick is my fave and he dies I would totally and only for humor cut off katy perrys hair and dye it blond. But to be serious I would cast the gut who played sarahs boyfriend in Roomate

  102. HGLoverSweden Jun 19th 2011

    Is it it just me, or would Alex Pettyfer make a great Finnick? At least He’s got the looks and the acting skills. I want to see him playing Finnick, for sure.

  103. mıstıque Jun 21st 2011

    I thınk lucas till from X-men first class should play finnick because he has the smile that is like finnick and he’s super hot!!

  104. its gotta be a big dude like kellan lutz. does anyone think ian somerhalder can carry josh hutcherson’s (peeta) character running up hill for like 15 minutes in the movie. no way. gotta be like 6 foot plus. ian is only like 5 foot 9

  105. I will kill myself if rob pats gets anywhere near hunger games!!!! I think finnick should be played by hunter parish, Robert hoffman, jack Abel, Freddie stroma, or maybe zac effron. I picture him to have lighter hair and thin muscular build with a young (timeless) face. Charming male prostitute like.

  106. Stacy Jul 5th 2011

    I like the suggestion for Hayden, he’s very nice to look at :) I also have some ideas’s no one has mentioned before (I don’t think). Freddie Stroma is good looking and almost completely unknown in the US. I also like the idea of Hunter Parrish, Zac Effron, and Jake Abel. I always pictured a little more attractive Jake Abel as Finnick but he come’s closest to the image in my mind.

    So my favorites are: Freddie Stroma, Jake Abel, and Hayden Christian.

  107. you all do realize that Finnick is supposed to have BRONZE hair correct? This would make his hair a reddish blonde definatley NOT dark like, oh say, Tom Welling. Personally, I can see William Moseley (with the shorter tousled hair, and of course, he would have to lose the accent.)

  108. shelby Jul 8th 2011

    During catching fire and Mocking Jay I always pictured Finnick Odair as Cameron Mitchell. He is gorgeous and fits the description perfectly, all he would need to do is gain some muscle mass

  109. Marianna Jul 8th 2011

    Alex Pettyfer. He’s only a little younger than the character, but he’s exactly who I imagined while I was reading the books.

  110. Jessica Jul 10th 2011

    After reading through everyone’s posts on here, I have to say that an unknown actor would be the best. I try picturing all the suggestions for Finnick but something just doesn’t do it for me. Like when I think about the scene where FInnick is telling his story of what Snow made him do to the camera in the destruction of District 12, no one fits the bill. And while I admit I love Robert Pattinson, having someone famous would just give people the excuse to say it will be bad like Twilight. I say unknown is better! I’m so hoping for all three books to be made into movies (already so excited for The Hunger Games in March!!!) and I wouldn’t want peoples feelings they have about one actor to make them not want to see it. I am pleased with the cast for the movie and think Jennifer Lawrence will be amazing as Katniss :)

  111. Paulie Jul 10th 2011

    why the heck did people even bring up robert pattinson

  112. shelby Jul 11th 2011

    cameron mitchell! :) he’s unknown, all he’s even been in is the glee project, and he might be on glee soon, if he just gained some muscle he’d be the PERFECT Finnick Odair. heres a link!

    (the one on the bottom)

    he would make a great finnick!

  113. Chad Michael Murray!

  114. I think Hayden Christensen would be good, also wouldn’t mind seeing Alex Pettyfer.
    Sorry, but I think Ian Somerhalder would be a terrible choice for the role, he’s a good actor but he’s not what I imagined Finnick to be. Also, they’ve got to be a lot taller than Josh Hutcherson, who is 5′ 7″, Ian Somerhalder is 5′ 9″.
    Either of the Supernatural boys could pull it off.
    There’s no way I want ANYONE from Glee, not enough acting talent!
    So I’m concluding that my first choices would be Alex Pettyfer or Hayden Christensen.

  115. I vote Alex pettyfer for Finnick.I see him as Finnick since he’s good at playing guys who are ”full of themselves”, yet very intellegent. Also, he’s got the looks, wich is perfect. Since Alex pettyfer is hot as hell, and Finnick is also supposed to be really hot. Other than Alex, I could see Chris pine, but he’d be my last choice-ish. Ian Somerhalder (if thats how you spell his name) – He’s alright, he would definitely have the looks and charisma, and the charms ofcourse. But being Beautiful and intellegent at the same time? Hmmm, I don’t know. Let’s just say I think Alex would be better for that.

  116. Mitali Jul 21st 2011

    Alex Pettyfer!!!!

  117. franky Aug 3rd 2011

    i’m torn between justin hartley (green arrow/oliver queen in smallville) or aidan turner (though that would make him irish) aidan turner plays mitchell in the british version of being human.

  118. Paige Aug 4th 2011

    Alex Pettyfer

  119. Diana Aug 5th 2011

    i think that ben stone should play him! he would be amazing at it!

  120. Zoeann Aug 6th 2011

    Alex Pettyfer! He would be THE best choice.

  121. Craig Aug 7th 2011

    I think that Max Adler would be perfect as Finnick! The guy is big and an amazing actor!

  122. kristy Aug 13th 2011

    Benjamin Stone. He plays an emotionally layered cocky guy on the Nine Lives of Chloe King (ABC Family on Tuesday at 9pm) and he rocks that role.

  123. Amanda Aug 13th 2011

    I’m not really into any of the actors people suggested.
    He’s tan, bronze hair, and I picture him toned and strong. and every actor suggested, though goodlooking, is just too pale and skinny to be him.

    I can’t name anyone I’d recommend though.

  124. Amanda Aug 13th 2011

    I guess the closest looks I can compare to my idea of Finnick is like… Robbie Ornellish, except tanner.

  125. Max Adler does not fit the description of Finnick, I don’t think. Finnick’s supposed to be a ‘tall, pretty boy.’ Max Adler is a bit too big.
    Justin Hartley’s a great suggestion! I could definitely imagine him.

  126. only hayden. only hayden.

  127. When i was thinking of who could play Finnick, first thought was Ethan Peck. Gorgeous. Seductive. Hypnotizing eyes (have to have green contacts, of course). Sexy voice. Yet sincere. Just what i would like to see in the theater. But who knows, there could be some unknown guy out there who will blow all of our suggestions out of the water. We can only hope.

  128. Forgot to mention tall.

  129. Katy Miller Aug 16th 2011

    I think Benjamin Stone would make an awesome Finnick! He has blue eyes blond hair and is an amazing actor.

  130. Miriam Janssen Aug 24th 2011

    Benjamin Stone!!!!!!! lolerz

  131. Miriam Janssen Aug 24th 2011

    I love Finnick Odair and I think Benjamin Stone would be perfect! He’s an incredible actor!

  132. These guys are all too little. Finnick is beautiful, but he is alos massive. Remeber, he has to be big and strong enough to throw Peeta over his shoulder and run for miles with him…. I’m thinking we need to enter Greek god territory – Poseidon.

  133. He’s also older than the others as he was a victor from ten years earlier…

  134. Zac Effron is like a greek god. When I was reading the books he is the ONLY actor that I pictured so if he isnt cast for the part I will be very disappoointed.

    I always saw Justin Hartley as Finnick. I wasn’t a big smallville fan but I was watching one night with a friend and as soon as I saw Justin he immediately became Finnick for me :D

  136. Craig Sep 1st 2011

    I agree with Nic. Finnick was older and larger then Peeta. They need someone with some size and muscle. :)

  137. Although Justin Hartley is a great suggestion I always pictured Finnick’s beautiful face/body and initial arrogance played by Armie Hammer. He did such a great job with a similar character in Social Network he could easily pull it off..

  138. About Robert Pattinson: he is a horrible choice; he is not attractive or athletic in any way. That being said, the only person I pictured when I read the book (and I tried hard to picture a good Finnick) was Ryan Reynolds. I know he may be too old and popular, but I think he would work. He is super hot, we know he has the body, he’s funny and charming with a little bit of smarminess, and has done action movies before.

  139. Dean Geyer From Terra Nova would be a good Finnick and he has a nice body!

    I would definitely like to see Alex Pettyfer play Finnick. He has the looks, the attitude, the confidence, and lastly …the softness that we see in Mockingjay. He would be perfect for the role and I can only hope that the casting director will agree.

  141. Sarah Oct 9th 2011

    Zac Efron for Finnick!!!!

  142. Jesika Oct 15th 2011

    Channing Tatum!!!(:<3

  143. Benjamin Stone <3

  144. M. R-S Oct 21st 2011

    i think that Finnick needs to be played by Benjamin Stone, he would be great for that role
    Robert Pattinson is over used as well as Zac Effron, all of the suggested actors at the top are already associated with other movies, and i don’t think that they would be very good. i also think that we would still be thinking about them in the other roles that they have already played.

  145. Two words. Alex Pettyfer. Look him up.

  146. I would say Jared Leto! <3

  147. ALEX PETTYFUR.
    bit late.

    Chase. Crawford.
    or
    Ian Somerhalder…either work for me, but i am a fan of Crawford lol

  149. DREW FULLER and only DREW FULLER!!!!! He has gorgeous green eyes and he is VERY handsome =D
    Just look at him, he is so perfect http://imalbum.aufeminin.com/album/D20110201/342083_AYEABBH5CBGHUILXZOFK3XHAJZCY2U_kinopoisk-ru-drew-fuller-420162-800_H155443_L.jpg

    Lol… I loved scrolling through these and looking up the guys. I love how the first comment has the hottest guys ever. I love Ian Somerhalder and Tom Welling:)

  151. Ian Somerhalder !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMGG Ian Somerhalder is totally fit for Finnick’s role .

  152. 7980798079807980 Nov 27th 2011

    none of these, and they should have seafoam green eyes, or at least contacts. BUT THE REST OF THE CASTINGS ARE PERFECT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  153. James Marsden! While reading the book I was thinking of someone similar to me (even though, to be honest, I don’t think there is an actor out there that could do Finnick’s looks justice!)

  154. Taylor Kitsch. Please? :D Apart from a few minor details, he is what I imagine Finnick to look like.

  155. Jordynn Dec 28th 2011

    Jared padalecki is perfect he’s tall and beautiful. He’s not that well known either. He’s super tall and may I remind you guys that finnick has to carry mags and peeta at once. Most the guys ur suggesting can not do that but I’m pretty sure Jared padalecki could

  156. i LOVE HG!!! Jan 4th 2012

    Alex Pettyfer all the way!!!!!!!!!!

  157. HeartOfGale Jan 8th 2012

    Alex pettyfer or Trevor Donovan……… Damn they’re hot!

  158. JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE. He has Finnick’s pretty-boy, adonis good looks, his confidence and his sense of humour. It’s not hard to imagine Justin raking in the sponsors in the arena, but I can also see him as a lethal killer. At the same time, he seems like he would be very loyal and devoted to the woman he loves. I think he would make a great Finnick.

  159. KATNISSPEETAGALE Jan 19th 2012

    I don’t know why but I imagine him looking like Grant Gustin (Sebastien in Glee) – but more ‘beefed up’ and blonde hahaaa

  160. Personally, I can’t think of ANYONE in Hollywood who fits my vision of Finnick. The one perfect word to describe him is ‘Golden’. He has to be tan, but not too tan. He has to have beautiful sea green eyes, and caramel golden highlighted hair. So if you could take Justin Bieber’s Hair, slap it on someone with a body like Kellan Lutz, who has tanner skin, he’d be perfect.

  161. Chris Pine !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! or Kellen Lutz

  162. When my friends and I read these books, the only person in our minds who could possibly play Finnick Odair was our friend, Lucus Thompson. Please check out this Facebook video and see for yourself. Like it, share it, and be a part of making our dreams come true!

  163. they don’t like me.. I like: TOM WELLING, JENSEN ACKLES, IAN SOMERHALDER, or LACHLAN BUCHANAN =) what do you think?
