Catching Fire Movie
Dayo Okeniyi on Moving to the USA and on ‘The Hunger Games’
LA Confidential was able to sit down with Dayo Okeniyi, who plays Thresh in The Hunger Games, and talk about a few topics including his move from Nigeria to the States and on the Hunger Games itself.
Tell me about your move from Nigeria to the United States. Any bumps in the transition?
DAYO OKENIYI: I don’t remember anything being too surprising. The media, television, movies, and the internet have taken the globe and made it feel much smaller.The Hunger Games is being called the new Twilight. How do you feel about the comparison?
DO: I certainly understand why the comparison is being drawn. We are a young, ensemble cast, much like Twilight. I would be lying if I said I would not welcome the success of the ‘saga,’ but The Hunger Games is different, we have no supernatural powers, we are human—very, very human.
