Casting The Hunger Games: Peeta & Gale!
Now that we know who will play Katniss Everdeen in the upcoming film adaption of The Hunger Games, we’re on the edge of our seats waiting to hear who will be playing Peeta and Gale.
According to The Playlist, there are a few names director Gary Ross is looking at for each role.
For Peeta (Katniss’ fellow Hunger Games tribute) we have fan fave Hunter Parrish, Josh Hutcherson, Lucas Till, Alexander Ludwig and Evan Peters.
For Gale (her best friend from District 12), David Henrie, Liam Hemsworth, Robbie Amell and Drew Roy are all in contention.
You know where we stand on Gale, but let us know what you think! Take our polls below!

Penn Badgley for Gale
My votes went in for Alexander Lutwig and Drew Roy. For Peeta, I could also see Josh or one of the Sprouse twins. I just don’t want them to look too old. :/ I know Hunter is the fan favorite at this point, but being 23, and seeing him in 17 Again as the arrogant jerk I can’t picture him as my Peeta. If he gets the role, it is what it is and I’ll still go see the movie, but that’s my two cents. For Gale, my second choice would be Robbie Amell. I wouldn’t want to see David Henrie in this movie. Liam- ehh. We’ll see. He probably could pull it off. ahhhhh!
Lucas Till = Peeta, he is right age, right look, right height to match with Jennifer Lawrence.
Jennifer lawrence is tall and badass, if she pairs with hunter or josh– katniss ( JL)/Peeta ( hunter or josh) will not look good, and more hunter (24 years old) is so goody goofy, can not fight at all. I do not think I can watch josh or hunter as Peeta with JL as katniss at the movie.
More lucas is charming — peeta will be a hero.
I still think Alex Pettyfer should play Peeta. I really hope producers screen test him once he’s back in the states from promoting I Am Number Four. But since Alex isn’t on this list, I voted for Hunter Parrish for Peeta and of course Robbie Amell for Gale.
I think the problem here is that jennifer is older(she’s not 16);so they are making auditions to older actors. Anyway for Gale i’m supporting Robbie Amell;i think he can pull Gale if not drew roy.
For peeta it’s difficult for me; i think lucas till is the best one for the role because:1.-He already work with jen in X-men
2.-he’s 20 years old just like her.
3.-he’s good looking;not a “sex god”like alex pettyfer but he’s adorable just how peeta needs to be
4.-He’s acting is getting better
if not hunter;but he 2 old 4 the role.
hope they tell us soon who will be portraiting them
what happened to Alex Pettyfer for Peeta? He was definitely my favourite, but maybe he’s too much of a jerk off screen? but otherwise my vote went to hunter, and hopefully they can soften him up a bit because all i see is the jerk from seventeen again. and i do not want david henrie for gale, not what i pictured gale to be like at all. my choice would probably be drew roy but i dont know..
are you serious? not voting. all these “front runners” suck.
Can’t they hire real actors for this instead of Disney ones? ¬.¬
Robbie Amell was my pick from day one. Once I heard they were making a film The Hunger Games. I suggested to everyone that Robbie would be the perfect Gale. I hope they give him the part. I can’t wait to hear the announcement.
NO DISNEY STARS! Hunter Parrish is absolutely Peeta.

I can just see him singing this to Katniss and I know Katniss is supposed to be the singer, but imagine a duet in the movie. Besides, he can sing and Jennifer Lawrence can play the guitar.
Just click on the link.
No please, if Liam or David gets the part of Gale.. I’m not watching
Hunter Parrish FTW!!!!
DREW ROY for Gale he is the best!
Non of the actors for Peeta match Jennifer. They all look wayy to young. Almost irritatingly so. If she is going to look 20 then he has to as well. Same goes for Gale. I think you need to go back to the drawing board with most of these.
Drew Roy is the only one out of all of them that could fit the role
@Emem: He should deffinitally be Peeta! Those who are voting for Josh have not red the books. And this also counts for all the others. Lucas Till? Are you kidding me :S?
omg drew roy so hot he would make a bad ass Gale! and come on lucas till for peeta?!?
I was touched by the insight and spot-on articulation which Lucas till says about the THG and Peeta. Wowow, he does know well Peeta character and THG, he will bring Peeta alive on screen in my opinion as I am a THG fan. He will make Jennifer Lawrence as katniss looking good.

Hunter Parrish!! The only reason why he’s losing at the moment is because this is Just Jared and not enough people know who Hunter is and they don’t even bother to look him up. But once The Hunger Games fans know about this poll Hunter will dominate!!!
I don’t want Disney actors. Hunter4Baker!
Hunter Parrish of course! He has the biggest range. I mean, he played freaking Melchoir in Spring Awakening. He’ll be able to do our sweet boy with the bread and the crazed hijacked Peeta in Mockingjay. He’s such a sweetheart, and the most talented actor. The fact that he fits Peeta to a T in looks is just a very nice bonus!
@Emma: I suggest you watch him in interviews. He is such a nice, funny guy in real life, being Peeta would come so naturally to him.
I don’t really like any of the Gale choices, I like Ethan Peck for gale (though he is a bit old) I did like avan gorgia but he doesn’t work anymore given the katniss.
Hunter Parrish for Peeta!..
