My older brother was never into comics.
Right. Sir. Honey.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I was a voracious comic book reader from about age 9 to 17. Comics and used paperbacks ate up all my lawn mowing, babysitting and bottle returning money back then.
There was a time in there where I bought literally every single Marvel and DC title, a fair number of Archie and Harvey, the B/W Conan and the Warren horror titles, plus occasional upstart stuff like Iron Jaw and Elfquest.
So me and comics were tight in the 1970s.

Because books.
I had some Archies stuff, I remember, but even my younger brother really wasn't into comics -- he was a HUGE Star Wars geek as a kid, though.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Finnick casting talk seems to be picking up again. Both Jezebel and IO9 are talking about it.
The open-minded stance seems to be that casting Jesse Williams will right all the wrongs in Hollywood, but he's not one of the names listed: Garrett Hedlund, Taylor Kitsch, and Armie Hammer.
I've only really seen Taylor in anything, and I think he'd be fine, considering our lack of time machines.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I don't really care much, but the name Armie Hammer makes me laugh every time I see it!

OMG, I've been hung up on this casting forever. I think I have an Evernote keeping track of suggestions (with pics) and a tumblr tag for it.

Oh, man. I think Taylor could rock that.

Armie Hammer is pretty but sort of pedestrian to me. And Taylor Kitsch has too much attitude, too much pout, for me anyway. Hedlund is probably the closest to what I imagined out of those three.

Too much attitude? But Finnick is all attitude in his introduction (I just reread it looking for character descriptions--bless you, Nook app)--you definitely need someone who can play cocky, as well as all the other spoilery things. From what I've seen of FNL, he's as good a choice as many.
I do not get Garrett Hedlund in the least, tho.
Here's the latest list I have:
- Jensen (I put him on just to warm up)
- Justin Hartley (Smallville)
- Zac Efron
- Taylor Kitsch
- Charlie Hunnam (I've been told he's too old)
- Chris Zylka (Secret Circle)
I've also seen Alex Pettyfer on people's lists.

Zac Efron is too sweet. Charlie Hunnam is probably too old, although I would LOVE that.
I've never seen Garrett Hedlund in action, I realize. He's got the look, though.
I may not be remembering right, but I thought Finnick was smoother, slicker. Taylor Kitsch on FNL was more pouty bad boy.
