Hunter Parrish Pursuing the Part of Finnick

32 Comments June 29, 2012 by Filed Under: Finnick Odair

In this interview with MTV News, actor Hunter Parrish, who previously auditioned for the role of Peeta, discusses his desire to embody District 4 heartthrob Finnick Odair and whether he has anyone he’d recommend for the job besides himself.

I’m not very familiar with Hunter Parrish’s work, so I can’t attest to his acting skills, but he could certainly pull of Finnick’s look and he’s familiar with the books so he knows Finnick’s personality and background. I guess I’ll defer to you Mockingjays as to whether he can do the part justice. What do you think?

    No thank you! I just don’t see it!

    • Lyh97

      agreeded

  • Rhcpss

    No fucking way!!!!!! I think there is so many ppl who could do this role and that doesn’t include him!!!!

  • Heather

    I think he would be perfect!  He is a great actor, and, um… if you’ve ever seen his *body* of work on Weeds… yeah.  Yeah, he could definitely pull off Finnick, for sure.

    • Lyh97

      “yoou know , ummmm………. thats all he says 

  • Mockingjay99

    No. Sorry – he does not have the Aura.

  • Above all Hunger Games Fans

    I’m kinda seeing it…but I thing Garret Hudland could still do so much better if he shaves off his beard.

  • Above all Hunger Games Fans

    Idk about Finnick…but he would of made a really good peeta… 

  • Angglzzmoreno

    Wouldnt he have to appear older? All the victors would need to be older than katniss & peeta. Not look the same age!

    • Lyh97

      at first i was like wat r u talkin about he looks old well in the interview but then i looked him up and yea he is too young and i dnt think he could pull off finnick first of all finnick has to be tan come on not white look at him and jst nooo sry eeee jst nooo

  • TEAMFINNICK!

    I would love it if he were Finnick! Yes, he does seem a to look a little young to play him, but he looks just like the Finnick I imagined when i was reading… only a tiny bit younger looking. :) He could still totally pull of Finnick, though! LOL

    I think he’d be a great Finnick. He has such a good range of work! And he is yummy. Yes, he needs to look older, but Finnick is only 24.  Not that much older than either Katniss or Peeta.

    noooooooooooooooooooooooo

  • Tributeforlife

    didnt he try out for peeta as well? 
    Im not familiar with his acting so I really have no clue how he would be for finnick
     

  • katest2013

    OH YES  PLEASE!!!

  • Silverbow&arrow

    No, he doesnt have that ‘WOW’ factor that Finnick Odair should have. He needs to fit the role looking handsome and something along the lines of the BOOK. Handsome and gourgeous as katniss describes in the book…

  • I<3JHutch

    NO! i still think luke mitchel should play finnick!

    • Lyh97

      oh i looked him up nice come onnn nice pack of abbs DANMMM

    • JAG22512

      Yeah im with you bout luke mitchel playing finnik!!!!!!

    • HGmaniac

      Agreed love luke mitchel!

  • Callista

    There are other actors that could do better… but I wouldn’t be furious if he got the role. There are just others that could be better.

  • team buttercup

    Yes yes yesssss he’s perfect if your not convinced watch one episode of weeds or YouTube him you won’t be disapointed

  • http://twitter.com/woojungislove woojung in love

    No. Thanks.

  • Unknown

    I want someone who wants the part a lot more like Josh and Jennifer acted like they did. Someone with a lot more enthusiasm. :)

    • Lyh97

      u got that rite!

  • MockingJay

    Although I was gunning for Garret Hudlund as Finnick I can see Hunter playing him! I just d0n’t really know how good he would look in red hair… But my next question is who will play his favorite girl, Annie. I know I’m totally getting ahead of myself all the way into Mockingjay but one can’t only help but wonder

  • District12

    He just doesn’t seem that excited, just kinda saying “oh hey! I’d like some money so ya sure I’ll take the job if get offered it but I dnt rlly care what happens!” I don’t need some one to be obsessed with the books(like me) but some one with more excitement and enthusiasm

    Other than that, he not as slick and mysterious like Finnick. I’d be disappointed if got the role   

  • JAG22512

    Nooooooooooo! in the first movie alot of the actors truly
    Captured the essence of their character, it felt like the book
    Coming to life, I don’t believe he can do that for finnick!!!

  • Jordette

    yes, please he would be the perfect Finnick!!!!!
