He's way OTT in his first encounter with Katniss. And I totally interpet it as bad boy with a complete knowledge of his charms. Given that Taylor also played Gambit pretty well, I can totally see it.
That's disturbing. You're emotionally scarred and will end up badly.

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Because books.
I have to read it again, then. If the neighbor kid ever gives me back my book.

Gambit was one of the few good things about the Wolverine movie, and he's pretty similar to this. No idea about his character in the two bombs of this year.

Oh, I forgot the golden-net sarong, and the sexual innuendo. Clearly, I have to reread.

I'm making an uncompensated career out of quoting directly from the book. Which, really, the articles covering it really should, to just forestall shit.
No, he's not forty something. No it's not possible that his eyes are blue...

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore
Alex Pettyfer is number one on my list. Garrett Hedlund number two.
Armie Hammer is way too beefy. if Hunnam(he is!) is too old, Justin Hartley(he so is!) is way too old. Kitsch is only a year younger than Hunnam(and starting to look his age IMO).
of that list, only two are age appropriate Zylka and ZEfron and neither are Finnick for me. though i do love me some ZEfron.

I don't feel the actors have to be the characters' ages, they just have to look them. And I haven't seen the pics of Kitsch that you have. Maybe his box office results have taken years off his life. I think Pettyfer looks older than Kitsch right now.

I've felt that way about him, mostly.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Huh. That there is a very nice roster of awesome British character actors. In between this and The Hobbit, playing dwarves is in this year, I guess.
