    i always imagined finnick as like 19-21… i like this guy! he has the cocky smile, tan skin, and slim features i pictured for finnick.. its actually creepy how similar he is to my mental picture! i wouldnt mind alex pettyfer for fin though

    ah, hell yes!! way better than anyone else that ve seen for him! Ben Stone all the way!! Zac Efron was my first choicebut now i see that there are better actors out there who might be wanting a chance at stardom. dont pick people who are already famous, pick people who are still unknown to the public!

    actually, this guy looks like one of my friends…

    He’s too innocent looking to me and rather boyish. I imagined Finick being a tad boyish but mostly jaded. Somebody who could look weary and wise later on when you crack his character. I think they need somebody older.

    He’s PERFECT!
    This role was like meant for him, and based on his acting on Nine Lives, he definitely has great potential.

    Val

    I think Hunter Parrish would be perfect

    I think it should be Ben Stone. I like the idea of an unknown for the role. A lot of the actors suggested are too identified with other franchises or shows. I don’t think it would work. Plus, Jennifer Lawrence has the best chemistry with the Brits (look at Nicholas Hoult). Give Ben Stone a chance. He is on the Nine Lives of Chloe King, which is on ABC Family at 9pm on Tuesdays and I can tell you he has that cocky guy down. He also knows how to do an American accent.

    hes cute….but not hot enough. finnick is the sex symbol of panem! hahah. idk, just not what i’d expect to be finnick… he also seems a bit young. he looks about the same age as jennifer lawrence, but finnick’s supposed to be older.




  25.

    i thought aaron johnson would be the perfect finnick…but ben stone seems like a good actor too.

    I totally agree that Benjamin Stone would be perfect for the part of Finnick Odair. It is because when they describe Finnick in the books the first actor to come to mind was Benjamin Stone. Not only does he have the look but can also do the personality that Finnick is and appears to be. An example would be that his character of Alek in The Nine Lives of Chloe King is similiar to Finnick Odair from his flirt womanizer to his good guy who wants the Hunger Games gone and who also loves Annie Cresta. BENJAMIN STONE IS A PERFECT MATCH FOR FINNICK ODAIR!!!!!




  27.  
    uh

    He has too much of a baby face for a 24-year-old character. Just my thoughts.




  28.  
    Anna

    I think he’d be a great cast for Finnick!




  29.  
    Red

    Omg. He’d make the perfect Finnick Odair. He’s very poised and confident — both on screen and off — and has the ability to capture Finnick at his bravest and most vulnerable moments. All he needs is sea green contacts and he’s good to go. (Oh, check out his Troix mag photoshoot. He’s packing some serious abs!)

    you'll never catch me alive

    i don’t know why the heck you are saying that he is too old for Finnick. If any of you ACTUALLY READ THE BOOKS you would know that Finnick is 24. Benjamin Stone just had his 25th birthday. HE’S THE SAME AGE AS THE CHARACTER. It could not be more perfect. Plus Ben is reeeeaaallly sexy. But also a good actor.




  31.  
    yes hes parfect

    when i was reading catching fire everything finnick was saying i imganied him saying that benjamin stone is perfect for the role of finnick i want him to be finnick or im not watching catching fire okay ill still watch it but i want him to be finnck




  32.  
    mandy

    yeah! he’s just perfect for Finnick! when i read the book…and Finnick’s character was introduced i just automatically imagined Benjamin Stone playing it! I don’t know…probably because of that scene when he offers Katniss a sugar cube..and it was kind of like his character in Nine Lives of Chloe King which he really pulls it off btw..




  33.  
    i love peeta mellark

    i think he’s perfect for finnick!

    hell yeah! i was looking up actors and i immediately though of him. then i saw this. ok tho, gotta admit he wasnt the first. i was thinking Ian Somerhalder but i dont think he’ll look good as a blonde. Hes sexy of course but blonde wont work out so well for him.

    Ben Stone is a great actor. Finnick would have been 26 at the ime of catching fire and Ben stone is currently 25. I love the way he acts he can do arrogant Finnick and He can do Finnick’s sweet side. Plus this boy look like Adonis with his shirt off.

And to everybody that he is to young he is 6 years older than Josh and 3 years older than Jen.




  38.  

    he would be perfect he gots that pretty beach boy look down not to mention the fact that he can act self centered and be torn for love take the nine lives of Chloe king for example
