OlderHunter Parrish: 'Hunger Games' Star?
Hunter Parrish is in talks with producers to play the role of Peeta Mellark in the upcoming Hunger Games film!
The 23-year-old Weeds actor told E! that he’s met with producers and that he’d be “grateful” to get to play Peeta on the big screen.
“Regardless of whether I’m a part of the film or not, I feel honored to just sort of be thought of,” Hunter said, adding, “I read the books all last year.”
As for potential co-stars, Hunter said he’d love to work with Jennifer Lawrence, who’s rumored to have nabbed the part of protagonist Katniss Everdeen.

He would be a really good Peeta and he seems very into the books, so I am even more excited for the movie!
HE WOULD BE PERFECT FOR PEETA. THIS IS WHO I’VE WANTED TO PLAY PEETA ALL ALONG. THIS IS SO PERFECT <3
I hope they pick him. He’d be great at Peeta and he can act.
Still not sure about Jennifer Lawrence though.
OH myh gosh. Oh my gosh.
I dont want him OR alex pettyfer.
He would be ok, but I do think he is too old. Even if they rush the production so that they can have 1 movie out every year, he will be 27 by the last movie. And thats if they go the route. I can understand why they might not want to hire a teenager, but I think then they should at least be picking someone in the 18-20 range. But we’ll see.
@Marianne: I agree. Its not just about how the person looks NOW, its also about how they are going to look years down the road. Their going to have to look like a teenager years from now.
i’ve been waiting for an article like this for a long time. Hunter must be Peeta!
I can’t wait for this movie!!dying to see who will play Gale..I want Avan Jogia to be.
Ok so he’s not my #1 choice (that’d be “The Reader’s” David Kross) but I won’t be up in arms if Hunter is cast. He’s practically heaven-sent compared to Alex Pettyfer.
OMG he has been my choice for Peeta from the beginning. He’s not only an amazing actor, he is such a kind soul in real life just like the character of Peeta. He was born to play this role. Sign him up!
HE’S PEETA. Alex is JACE Wayland. Got it?
He’s too old? hey jennifer is 20, and the other guy that considered for the role is max iron whos also around his 20.
I hope lionsgate wont disappoint me for the second time
YEEEEEEEEESSSSS !!! Might be him !! He’s my Peeta !! Cute, handsome and a new face.
@jarm:
I know right? Alex is just too uncharismatic whilst Hunter is just…I’m so speechless right now. If they do NOT pick Hunter, I will start a riot and hold a petition!
OMG, I seriously want him to play Peeta! He’d be perfect. And to all the nay-sayers, well Hunter is 23 have you taken a look at Alex Pettyfer. I mean, I know Alex is younger, but he looks older than Hunter. And Hunter has charisma. The perfect kind of charisma that he needs to play Peeta!
And as for Jennifer Lawrence, she is perfect to play Katniss. Watch Winter’s Bone if you don’t believe me.
I am laughing at people saying Hunter is too old… I mean HAVE YOU SEEN HOW OLD ARE THE ACTORS WHO PLAY ON GLEE. And they are supposed to be 16… If anything Hunter looks young enough!
He’s always been my Peeta, and as I don’t like Jennifer at all the only way I’m gonna watch the movie is if they choose him.
YES if he still looks like this.

He’s perfect for Peeta! and for the people saying Alex, I’m sorry, but he isn’t a very good actor and is dedicating himself to another series. Which, by the way, isn’t the Mortal Instruments. -_-
Alex had two chances to wow American audiences this year and both movies were flops. I have read I Am Number Four and Beastly, and both movies are terrible! His American accent definitely needs some improvement, as well.
And I do love Alex. I was a fan of his back when Stormbreaker came out. I love his British work, just not American.
He’s also lost my respect for turning down Mortal Instruments in such a rude way.
God you are so HOTTTTT!!!!!
