We know all that. But what a lot of people may forget (or haven't read…) is how damaged he is. I mean what the Capitol did to him messed him up. It probably was worse than the games. So I think they need to find someone who can portray the hot, but also the damaged. Him, Annie, and Johanna… they're all attractive, but deeply messed up. I read the book when they were casting Garrett Hedlund in "Tron: Legacy." So I pictured him. I think Armie Hammer is very good looking and can do the work. But I got the impression that Finnick was one color. Bronze. Hair, skin, eyes. Part of me would be good if not great if they cast someone of "not white origin." Maybe Panem's version of "Bronze God" is different from ours…

He's got the charm, the right age/look, looks almost EXACTLY how I pictured Finnick [especially the hair of course], has the touch of humor, and so many other reasons. Plus, I think he did a remarkable job in the movies I've seen him in like Tron and Country Strong. He can even sing! I know that has nothing to do with Finnick but it just adds on another factor of why he's so amazing. He's got that badass quality like Finnick but is capable of being sincere and emotional and has proven in his other works that he can present the emotional depth that Finnick has. Finnick is such an important and wonderful character that it needs someone great. In the end, I'll be happy with whoever they cast because of their PERFECT casting in the first one so I have no doubt that Lionsgate will pick well with someone who truly deserves and understands the character and can do him justice. But I'm hoping for Garrett and have for at least a year… I'm just so excited to finally hear who may be him and hear who will be Johanna too! 🙂

PS- to all the people claiming they don't know who Finnick is…. why are you commenting then? I'm sorry but your judgement won't be as valuable because if you don't know who Finnick is or have not read Catching Fire (PLEASE tell me you've at least read THG! if not, go do it asap, it's worth it) then you obviously don't know what they're looking for in the actor whom is to play him. I'm just saying, you have to know who Finnick is to understand who can accurately play him.

Lawrence and Hemsworth are blonde but dyed their hair. That's called acting! LOL Hammer is the best actor of the three, but Hedlund would be a natural (might have spelled it wrong) choice.

I've never seen any of them in anything, but I see Garrett as Finnick more than the others. He just has to know what a complex character he will have to take on as the handsome Finnick Odair.

Finnick was supposed to look much older than Katniss and Peeta, and plus, he is supposed to look like a man, not some hottie teenager. And Garrett is perfection. If you go on tumblr just UGH PERFECTION WITH GARRETT.

Plus he needs to be a bit older them Lawrence/Hutchenson. He's also gorgeous and a great actor. Kitsch already said he wasn't interested, and Hedlund is all wrong for the part.

Done and Deal. 🙂 He look like Finnick. Don't just look at his pictures on Facebook and Google. Look at the way he act. Especially in the "Faster" movie. I also saw him doing the yoga. He is so amazing. WOW! Speechless. <3 He is so adorable.
