Hunter Parrish Could Become the Hunted in 'Hunger Games'
Showtime
Hold onto your mockingjays, folks, because E! Online is reporting that "Weeds" star Hunter Parrish is in talks to play Peeta Mellark in the hotly anticipated adaptation of Suzanne Collins' wildly popular "Hunger Games" young adult novels.
"I've met the producers," Parrish told E! Online. "I'd be grateful to get the opportunity. Like, really grateful. It would be amazing."

Alex Pettyfer is undeniably pretty. So pretty, in fact, that movie studios -- to the delight of his fans -- have been vying to cast him in roles in highly anticipated YA fare such as Jace in "Mortal Instruments," Tom in "The Last Apprentice" and Peeta in "The Hunger Games."
But of the hot Brit's three potential roles, we're actually hoping that Pettyfer gets passed over for Peeta. There, we said it. Nothing personal, Alex, we just don't think you're right for such a critical role, especially in a movie franchise that could rival "Twilight" in terms of fan reach and box-office pull.
Sure, Pettyfer looks the part for a "Hunger Games" lead. As anyone who has read Suzanne Collins' beloved dystopian thriller knows, Peeta Mellark is handsome and strong, with blue eyes, wavy ash-blond hair and a muscular build from years of hauling 100-pound bags of flour (he's a baker's son). But Peeta is much more than a pretty face atop a sculpted six-pack. He's charismatic, kind, honest, selfless and loving -- all with an intensity that bubbles just beneath the surface, and Pettyfer just couldn't pull that off that nuanced a role. Get More »
