VIDEO: Chace Crawford would be ‘Honored’ to Play Finnick
Clevver TV talked with Chace Crawford, a fan favorite to play Finnick Odair, about the potential casting in ‘Catching Fire‘.
They caught up with him while he was promoting his new film ‘What To Expect When You’re Expecting’, which coincidentally also stars Elizabeth Banks. Crawford joked that he had an ‘in’ with Lionsgate, since they are the production company behind both films. But Chace says he is a huge fan of Jennifer Lawrence and he loved the movie. Check out the interview above, they start discussing Finnick around 3:25!

That wouldn’t be to bad
he would be awesome
CHACE CRAWFORD IS AWESOME FOR THE ROLE OF FINNICK….GO CHACE!!!
please no!!!
AGREED! He would be horrible. I don’t think anyone could ever be perfect for Finnick, but I’ve heard someone from GLEE also could be playing Finnick, and honestly, I wouldn’t mind if it came down between the GLEE dude and Chace. I mean, if it came down to that, I would pick Chace, but still no. He doesn’t fit the part.
PLEASE YES….CHACE CRAWFORD IS ABSOLUTELY PERFECT FOR THE ROLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I actually quite like it! How tall is he though? Finnick has to be tall! I still think Max irons is the number one and only perfect finnick but chase is probably my third favorite after Chris zylka.
CHACE IS 6 FOOT…SO YES HE IS TALL. HE IS HANDSOME LIKE FINNICK IS DESCRIBED, MUSCULAR WITH AN ATHLETIC BODY AND CAN PULL OFF THE COCKY ATTITUDE THAT FINNICK HAS. HE IS VERY EASY ON THE EYES WITH THAT SEXY SMILE AND DREAMY EYES HE HAS….CHACE CRAWFORD WOULD BE THE PERFECT FINNICK…THINK ABOUT IT….CHACE IS THE BEST FOR THE ROLE
I think he would be a good finicky!
Typo!! I meant Finnick, not Finnicky… Hahaha
AGREED….CHACE WOULD BE PERFECT FOR THE ROLE OF FINNICK….HE IS A BRILLANT ACTOR AND VERY HANDSOME….JUST PERFECT….PERFECT PERFECT PERFECT
Please no!!! I want Alex pettyfer to play finnick!!!!!!
SAME!!!
me too
NO!!!
I agree!
DISAGREE…..YES CHACE CRAWFORD…CHACE CRAWFORD FOR FINNICK!!!!!
Chase Crawford would be really good!
I don’t know why people keep saying Alex Pettyfer though… He just doesn’t seem to have any qualities Finnick has. Everytime I see him in photos, he looks so miserable.
I don’t want someone really famous to play Finnick either, like Zac Efron. People will just go cause Zac Efron is in it, and I don’t want to sit for 2/3hours in a screen where girls are giggling about Zac Efron or similar.
You’ve never seen Alex pettyfer, that’s just photos, he’s charming and amazing
Never seen Alex? So he isn’t in Beastly or I Am Number 4? Yes I have seen him thanks and I do like him as an actor, I just don’t think he’s suited to the role of Finnick as well as some other actors are
I like the fact that the actors for the first film were not well known, I’d like them to look for talent rather than just a name
well he is described as handsome and tall, i dont just look for a name i look for talent and ales pettyfer has it. I like them to be well known, cause if you get a nobody then everybody hates finnick since nobody knows him
Ahhhh so you hated most of the characters from The Hunger Games, cause the actors weren’t wel known, then? For example, Isabelle (Clove), (Thresh) and Alex (Cato)?I doubt you did. People went to see the films because it was good, if the character is supposed to be liked it, for example Katniss and Peeta and Finnick instead of hated like President Snow – no matter who the actor is (as long as he can act, of course) will be good for the role. I don’t want people going to see them film cause ‘Alex Pettyfer’ is in it, I want them to go see it because they liked the first film, or like me has been a fan of the book for years.
I say the same for Zac Efron etc
I don’t have anything against you wanting to have Alex as Finnick, just my personal opinion on the matter, as much as your opinion is to have him there
YOU NEED A TRUE TALENT TO PLAY FINNICK AND THAT IS CHACE CRAWFORD…ALEX PETTYFER IS A WHINY LITTLE DIVA ON SET THAT BRINGS DRAMA. HE DOES NOT HAVE THE BODY FOR THE ROLE NOR DOES ZAC EFRON. BESIDES ZAC IS NOT THAT GOOD OF AN ACTOR EITHER….CHACE CRAWFORD IS PERFECT FOR FINNICK
I would totally be on board with this, he’s gorgeous! He’s waaaaay better than Alex and Zac at least! And definetly Armie Hammer – Ugh!
Nobody is hotter than Alex pettyfer! You’ve never even seen Alex pettyfer
TOTALLY AGREE…CHACE IS ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS. A MILLION TIMES BETTER THEN ALEX THE LITTLE DIVA AND ZAC EFRON. AND AS FOR ARMIE HAMMER EWWWW NO….HIS ACTING SKILLS ARE REALLY LACKING……CHACE CRAWFORD IS THE BEST FINNICK HANDS DOWN AND THE HOTTEST
No!!!!!! Alex pettyfer all the way!!!
YES…CHACE IS PERFECT FOR THE ROLE OF FINNICK….CHACE CRAWFORD ALL THE WAY!!!!
He can NOT be Finnick!! Finnick has to be soooooo much cuter!!
HE CAN BE FINNICK…CHACE CRAWFORD IS HOTT HOTT HOTT
Well I think Chace would be ok as Finnick, but I also think Zac Efron would be really good for the role. I’m not really sure though…
Meh, he’s okay. He looks too… scrawny. Oh, and please not Alex Pettyfer. He’s just so… ugh. Sorry, I don’t really like him as an actor. I say either Garret Hedlund or Ian Somerhalder.
same here! i see garrett hedlund or ian somerhalder. i think they would mak GREAT finnicks.
*make
UMMMMM SCRAWNY I DON’T THINK SO… HIS BODY IS ROCKIN….THE MAN IS RIPPED AND HIS ARMS ARE HUGE….GARRET IS WAY SCRAWNIER THEN CHACE AND A MILLION TIMES BETTER AS AN ACTOR
OMG YES CHACE WILL BE SO AMAZING AS FINNICK!!! I am a massive fan of both chace and alex but i think chace would be a better choice
CHACE IS THE ONLY CHOICE….GO CHACE!!!!!
I think he’d be an awesome Finnick!
He pulls off the cockiness so well!!!!
AGREED…CHACE CRAWFORD IS AWESOME….WOULD LOVE TO SEE HIM GET THE ROLE OF FINNICK
James Gaisford.

No, he should NOT play Finnick.
It just isn’t right.
OHHHHH IT’S RIGHT IN FACT CHACE IS PERFECT FOR FINNICK….GO CHACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Finnick is cuter than that :/
How about Kit Harrington???
FINNICK IS SUPPOSE TO BE HANDSOME AND THAT IS WHAT CHACE CRAWFORD IS…..HANDSOME!!!!!!!
Are you serious? 1st of all, he’s a horrible actor…anyone that watches gossip girl can tell! and if you saw this movie he’s so back he makes her look bad also. Plus he’s a pot head, monotone and has NOT read the books, I’ll be surprised if he ever heard of it. I want someone who is an honest sincere fan to play not some douche bag like him just wanting it because it’s cool.
Stop hating Chace would be perfect for the role. He has the looks and the talent. He would draw in more interest in the film. I think Chace would be the perfect choice. Stop Hating on Chace
CHACE CRAWFORD IS A BRILLANT ACTOR, A TRUE TALENT. HE HAS WHAT IT TAKES TO PLAY FINNICK AS FINNICK IS MUSCULAR(WHICH CHACE IS), ATHLETIC BODY(WHICH CHACE HAS), AND IS HANDSOME(WHICH CHACE IS. cHACE CRAWFORD IS PERFECT FOR THE ROLE. STOP HATIN AND BEING MEAN. tHE GUY HAS WHAT IT TAKES TO BE THE PERFECT FINNICK…SORRY YOU DON’T SEE THAT…BY THE WAY HE’S NOT A DOUCHE BAG OR A POT HEAD….AND NO HE DOESN’T JUST WANT IT BECAUSE IT’S COOL….CHACE CRAWFORD IS A TOTALLY COOL GUY AND A FANTASTIC AMAZING ACTOR WHERE AS OTHER ACTORS CAN HOLD A CANDLE TO HIM
Nonoonononoooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!! Gimmick has to be Damien from vampire diaries!!!!!! He’s coccky but then a soft side!!!!! He is awesome for the role
Chace Crawford would be perfect for the role. Everyone needs to stop being haters. Chace has the looks and the body. And Chace can act
I agree Alex…Chace is perfect for the role of Finnick. Everyone needs to stop hatin and get over it. Chace does have the look of Finnick as Finnick is described as handsome which Chace is, muscular with an athletic body which Chace has, and can have a cocky attitude which Chace can pull off. Chace is a true talent. He is a brilliant actor. He would bring all the ladies to the movie….chace chace chace
Chace Crawfords bezaubernd schöner Adonis-Körper, vor allem sein supersüßes Bäuchlein, sein wunderschöner Rücken und seine knackigen, sehr zarten, total leckeren Brüste sind es einfach wert, immer wieder mal ganz zärtlich gestreichelt, liebkost und mit 1000 Küssen bedeckt zu werden. Glücklich die Menschen, denen Chace es schenkt, ihn stundenlang so zu verwöhnen! Dürfte ich doch auch einer dieser Glücklichen sein! Ich sehne mich so sehr danach.
Mein geliebter Chace, Dir von Herzen alles Gute! Möge es Dir gut gehen! Möge Dein Leben gelingen! Und mögest Du zufrieden, froh und glücklich werden!
