We've officially got our Finnick Odair for Catching Fire and his name is Sam Calflin. There has been a lot of speculation about this role but I was pretty sure he was going to get the part a few weeks ago when they said he'd auditioned several times and had cleared his schedule around the dates of Catching Fire. Finnick is my favorite character in the series so I've been watching the audition info very closely. I have to say, I'm not upset...
You can check out an "official" article here at The EW.
What do you guys think of the casting? I think he's going to do a really good job and am very excited to see him take on the role.
he's not what I pictured as Finnick... but he must be a great actor if they picked him
ReplyDeleteI think he certainly looks the part! I haven't seen him act, but I'm sure he's a great actor if he got such a coveted part. He's very attractive and I hope he plays Finnick well, as Finnick is one of my favorite characters! :)
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way, @sophia. I have never seen him act before either, but I’m sure he’s awesome. He better be good since Finnick is my favorite character too! I’m going to check out a few of his previous works before the new Hunger Games comes out, just to get a feel for how he will do. Lucky for me, the titles mentioned in the article are all available from my Blockbuster@Home service through my Dish account, so I don’t have to go a million places to track down each DVD. I was wondering how I was going to find Pillars of the Earth since my Dish coworker told me that show came out ages ago. I’ve never even heard of it; have you?
DeleteThat is just how I imagined the character so I think he will do a great job!
ReplyDeleteI LOVED Finnick! I haven't see this Sam guy before, but he looks like a good choice to me :)
ReplyDeleteFinnick is my favorite character as well and I'm not at all upset. There were a few names tossed out that really made me pause but not this one. I think (or hope) he'll do the part justice.
ReplyDeleteI like this casting a lot! When they were talking about Garrett Hedlund as Finnick, I wasn't too excited - even though I love him, he didn't seem like Finnick. But I think this guy is perfect!
