I can't think of an Effie actress. Cinna is a unique creation in my brain too. I don't imagine I'll be happy with anyone they find to play Cinna.
I've really got to learn to just do the damage and get out of town. It's the 'stay and gloat' that gets me every time.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I can't fix Cinna in my brain for some reason, Effie is Umbridge in my head, in spite of the book description. Haymitch is a mix of The Wizard of Oz, Brenden Gleeson and a friend of my dad's. In other words: my brain casting is strange.

Cinna is fully formed in my imagination and when I try to fix him onto an actor (Alan Cumming?) he rebells, shaking his head and stomping his feet... hmm, maybe that guy from Beautiful People? Brain Cinna says, "No Way!"

I picture Cheeks as Cinna.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I have a really clear Peeta in my head for some reason, and it's not an actor. But I know pretty much exactly what he looks like, and a little less sure of Gale. I have no idea why. I don't usually do it.
Actually, and Finnick. But I'd cheerfully cast Finnick. Avec couch.
I assumed he was really old too, but he's at most 41
I never said really old! I said over the hill! They aren't the same thing.

Because books.
Ooh, I'm ahead of you, P-C! I just started Chapter 16.
What chapter is the Mark Reads guy up to?

Our wings are not tired.
Cinna to me looks like John Phillip Law and acts like Hank Azaria.

Or 43. I forget the upper limit of the reaping. But he's in his early forties.
God DAMN. The Boy is...uh...44. Or maybe 45. That's serious cognitive dissonance.
Now Gale I have no idea. Three books in and I still don't have a firm image of him in my mind.
I pictured him as a really scruffy James Franco. Or possibly I just like thinking about James Franco.
