Hunter Parrish in talks to play Finnick Odair in Catching Fire

It seems Hunter Parrish is definitely being considered for the part of Finnick Odair in Catching Fire.  Last month Hunter told MTV  that  the process for auditioning for  the role of Peeta in The Hunger Games took its toll and that he was now feeling a bit more cautious about any possible role in the sequel, Catching Fire.

But now The Daily Beast has talked to Hunter and can confirm that he has indeed been in talks with the producesr of  The Hunger Games: Catching Fire:

Then, of course, there’s The Hunger Games. He came this close to playing Peeta in this year’s mega-blockbuster, but lost the role to his good friend Josh Hutcherson. “It was pretty hard. I really, really wanted it.” He says he felt like his whole life was leading up to that role and when he didn’t get it, he was crushed. “I think I just wanted it a little too much.” Looking back, he says, it was a hefty and much needed helping of humble pie. “It became a very grounding experience for me.”

But in a bizarre twist of fate, Parrish may end up in The Hunger Games after all. His name has been thrown into the mix of potential actors to play the character of Finnick Odair in the sequel Catching Fire. This time, he’s much more cautious about getting his hopes up. He has been in talks with producers but doesn’t want to think about it too much. His eyes light up, however, as he considers the possibility. “It would be fun,” he says, unable to contain himself. “If Lionsgate (the company behind the film) wants to go for it, I’ll be there. I’ll be right there.”
