Not a bad choice at all! But maybe in a couple years, he looks maybe a bit too young compared to how I’ve pictured Finnick. He looks about Jennifer’s age and Finnick is about 7 years older than Katniss. Though if they cast him I’ll be for it. He’s definitely a step up from Zac Efron and Alex Pettyfer. As for now though I’ll still stand by my choice of Chris Pine being the perfect Finnick.
Chris definatly is not a step up from Alex, but he is a step up from zac.
Grant isn’t a step up from Alex either.
grant is perfect for finnick and jennifer lawrence have 21 years old and she is katniss.
therefore grant is perfect
I didn’t picture Grant Gustin. But he is definitely a few steps up from Alex, Zac and Chris. The fact is that he is the best choice I’ve seen! I’m for it!
I think jake Abel should play Finnick Odair !!!!!!!! (the guy who plays Luke int Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief)
Nooo, please no, he’s already screwing my Ian O’Shea! Translation for you: He’ll be playing a major role in The Host movie, I don’t think(and I hope) he will be avaible.
ya same here hes to young
True hes a little younger now but CF doesn’t come out till 2013.
I think that making him look older won’t be such a hard job
I think he would make the perfect Finnick!!!!
I’m sorry, I don’t think Grant Gustin would make a good Finnick in my personal opinion. He’s not what I really picture as a Finnick as he looks a bit too young, around the same age as Jennifer. ):
i agree. i dont think he would make a good finnick. just looks too young. they should really get CHRIS PINE!
Chris Pine would be sooo amazing as Finnick!!!
Despite Jen’s age, the way she portrayed Katniss, still stayed quite true to her age in my opinion. I think that Grant would make a great Finnick indeed because he has the charismatic attitude that Finnick has.
He is really just like like i pictured Finnick! he just need to be more muscular tho. He’s perfect physically but i still have doubt about his acting skills. He’s the one in glee right?
wow this is the only person ive seen who i thought wuld be as good if not better then alex pettyfer
Alex Pettyfer is hot, don’t get me wrong, but he just doesn’t have that Finnick feel to him. And he’s also not that great of an actor. I don’t think he could pull off Finnick’s breakdown in Mockingjay. Don’t forget that we’re not just looking for a Catching Fire actor, but he’s gotta be with us until Mockingjay is done.
He looks too thin. I mean I know that can be fixed by working out but he looks just small in general, and not in anyway how i pictured Finnick
I agree, I always imagined Finnick to be muscley
HE WOULD BE PERFECT!!!!!
Finnick to da max!!!
HE WOULD BE PERFECT.
I have logical reasons as to why:
1. Grant has proven he can be seductive extremely well, which is a HUGE Finnick Odair factor.
2. He has also proven he can be charming, which is Finnick’s role later on in Catching Fire and Mockingjay.
3. Grant has ALSO showed he can be withdrawn and/or shocked, which is Finnick in Mockingjay.
4. Grant also looks the part of Finnick, with his bronze-colored hair and fit figure. I think he may even have sea green eyes.
All in all, Grant Gustin would make a wonderful Finnick.
I think just like you.
Grant would be a great and amazing Finnick
Great choice! However, he would need to gain a lot of muscle for the role. But he has the attitude down pat.
I love Grant, but I just can’t see him as Finnick. He’s too young and nothing like I pictured for Finnick. And he just doesn’t have that sex-appeal that is Finnick
I think he is perfect for the role
Please! Not Zachary effron as Finnic!! The hunger games has such a strong message and warning to it! If he were in it, it would reek of high school musical jock!! COME ON GRANT!!! I am in love with finicky and you would make a good one! Routing for you
i totally agree!!!!! i hope the casting directors will see that zack effron is not right for the part!!! i am not totally sure who i really want but i know it is not him1
grant gustin for finnick grant gustin for finnick.
grant is hot and also finnick.
grant is perfect for finnick.
XDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXD
I think he would be great as Finnick. He is tall, good looking, suave and can definitely pull off his personality. The only thing I think he would need to do is gain muscle mass.
grant would be great as finnick odair. He is cool,he is handsome, strong,etc. so he is perfect for finnick
NO WAY, he is NOT hot. :/
You should just get Alexander Ludwig to act as finnick (I loves him <333 ) and stuff
NOT this dude- he doesn't suit finnick, he's supposed to be handsome and have blonde hair and sea-green eyes :/
i agree.
alexander ludwing as cato
His voice is too slurred for Finnick in my opinion.
i dont think he would make a good finnick. Sorry. I think he looks younger than Katniss… which isnt a good thing. He doesnt look all that muscular. SORRY. PLEASE DONT MAKE IT HIM!!!!!!I’m leaning toward CHRIS PINE and ALEX PETTYFER!
No offense, but when i watched it… i thought he was gay. he acts soo gay. FINNICK ISNT GAY IS HE? CHRIS PINE!!! or ALEX PETTYFER. JUST NOT THE GIRLY GUY.
grat is perfect for finnick and no matter how gay because hi is guapo and i love him.
grant is perfect for finnick. grant is cute and hot. ♪♪♪☆★
he is not the right person to play this character at all!
No. Alex Pettyfer, ftw
grant gustin is perfect from finnick.
team finnick team grant
noo, Alex Pettyfer is perfect for Finnick
no, please. my god, he is very obviously gay. i dont think he is a good enough actor to hide that. he is a terrible choice. glee cast him as a gay character because he probably couldn’t fool anyone about being straight for a part. zac efron for the win!
zac efron is gay. he is a terrible choice. and grant not gay, sebastian smythe , he is gay and grant no
Definately would be a perfect Finnick. Although I don’t want him to die……… =(
heck no hes not even cute just a wanna be i would cry if grant gustin played finnick uck!
Too young for me, I would love Armie Hammer, Alex Pettyfer, Chris Pine….
i personally think Grant would be great for the role of Finnick, as would, Alex Pettyfet, but not Alexander Ludwig.
come one guys, he would be really good, jennifer lawrence looked NOTHING like katniss and they made her look so different same with josh and liam, so i bet you they can do it with him too
come grant is perfect and do not say that he is gay becuse there are others that if they are gays.
grant gustin ☆★☆★☆☆★☆★
if they show a flashback they could easely make him look fourteen , and i feel thats he is perfect ,well yeah they need to something to make him more appropriate but what he has that for example chris pine doesnthave is that grant is pretty , in the book she has described him as tall,athlethic,with golden skin bronze-hair and seagreen eyes, and most of all pretty . if feel thatthe other guys are handsome but theire not pretty , alex is pretty but he reminds me to mutch of a surfer boy an i dont see anny resemblens between alex and finnick than that . grant is perfect for the role
GRANT GUSTIN is PERFECT for FINNICK ODIAR and zac efron , alex and etc guys no is good idea. GRANT is very special guy .
he is a perfect finnick
His looks are good for Finnick, but he acts and looks pretty gay. Alex P would be perfect for Finnick.
GRANT IS PERFECT FOR FINNICK.
HE IS AWESOME ACTOR.
GRANT GUSTIN FOR FINNICK ODIAR ☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆ YEY
When i was reading a book, and there were parts with finnic i always pictured grant as him. I think it is perfect choice.
NO NOOOO! I THINK NO ONE FROM GLEE SHOULD BE APART OF HUNGER GAMES. . .
ARE YOU NOT LISTENING. . THEIRS OTHER ACTORSS LIKE
JESSE METCALFE. . . . . . . .. .
PERFECT ROLEE. . .
GRANT GUSTIN ITS MY FINNICK ODAIR!
*U*
GRANT IS IS PERFECT FOR THE ROLE OF FINNICK IN IN THE HUNGER GAMES SAGA
Weel…I see Grant as Finnick instead of Zac..I always imagine finnick as Marvel in the first movie(the boy from district one) just a bit more grown up and not that like in the face, and black hair instead of brown..Just my opinion..
GRANT GUSTIN IS EXCELENT TO ROLE OF FINNICK
