Collins describes Gale as having dark hair and light eyes. He looks so similiar to Katniss that they could easily be related. She doesn't get the fact that she must be good looking if that is the case, because Gale is a hottie. The other girls in school talk about him, and he is obviously in love with Katniss. Who could encompass these qualities without being too "Hollywood"? I found an actor by the name of Adam Gregory, who is currently starring in the new 90210 series. Yes, he is attractive, well, okay, he's amazingly fine...but he seems so much like the Gale I pictured in my mind, I nearly screamed when I found his picture!

I was originally thinking Taylor Lautner for Gale but I LOVE your pick. He is absolutely goregous and exactly what I pictured as well :)
ReplyDeleteHe's a good one. I still don't like your pick for Kat, though. She's too soft.
ReplyDeleteNO. WAY. lol
ReplyDeletenope all wrong
ReplyDeletethe last pic is good, but, idk...
ReplyDeleteliked the first pic. I love him! lol. I thought of Taylor originally too but seeing as though he is in twilight it wouldn't work. I like adam but he is missing some quality i think gale had, I can't remember what though...
ReplyDeleteCasting will be so hard for Gale and Katniss because Collins constantly alludes to the fact that they could be cousins because their look is so similiar. Tough job for casting agents for BOTH characters! It is so hard to find actors that are in the 17 year old range...I hate it when they cast 25 year olds to play teens, so I was trying to stay young with this one, but not too young.
ReplyDeletePER-FECT. In looks, anyway. I just want to see him act and maybe throw a knife or two. :)
ReplyDeleteto old
ReplyDeleteI say yes! i always imagined Gale as tall with darkish hair and really hot and strong! He fits perfectly...
ReplyDeleteNOPE ...
ReplyDeletehe looks soo nice - and Gale is sorta mysterious sometimes ...
u know the guy who plays Murtagh in Eragon ??
he has black hair 2 ... and he doesn`t look that friendly most of the time xD
give him a try !!
his name is GARRETT HEDLUND ...
Great pick! That's almost exactly what I imagined when I read the books! You make me laugh...I googled "perfect actress for Katniss Everdeen" because my friend and I were trying to pick a good actress for her, and your website was the first to pop up. Oh, by the way, this is KyLeigh. I was going to tell you about a website I found during class on monday, but I guess I can send you the link now.

He makes some pretty good points.
If they need to choose someone who will look like whoever they choose for Katniss, Gale could also be played by Nico Totorella, Drew Roy, or Robert Adamson. They're all pretty young.
ReplyDeletehe's okay but i still think katniss could be someone else adn rue 2.
ReplyDeletei am in love with the hunger games i can't wait untill mockingjay comes out!!!! this is tourture!!
ReplyDeletetoo old for gale.. too something...but not enough...URRGH just not right...
ReplyDeleteso i love the hunger games more than any other book i have ever read (which is A LOT) and i absolutley LOATHE gale. i hate him with every bit of emotion i can muster up. so personally i think this guy is too good for him.
ReplyDeleteYES, YES, YES! That's all there is to say.. ;)
ReplyDeletefirst pic looks like he can definately pull it off!!! >.< he is like 1 of the first actors 4 this site (4 the movie) im not dissapointed with so far!! YUS ALL THE WAYY
ReplyDeleteI happened to stumble upon your blog when searching for perfect cast members for the Hunger Games movie, and I LOVE all of your choices! I think this is a PERFECT Gale, and your choices for Katniss and Peeta are great as well! Though I think Lucy Hale just needs to look a bit tougher, then I could definitely see her as Katniss. And I think it is AWESOME that you teach The Hunger Games to your students, I am a teacher also and would love to be able to teach this book, love the t-shirt idea! This book series is amazing..keep spreading the love for The Hunger Games! :D
ReplyDeleteDefiantly no to any Twilight stars. ESPECIALLY KRISTIN STEWART! I will not see the movie AT ALL if it has any of them in it. They will make it a horrible movie because Kristen Stewart is just WAY to awkward to play the strong mighty Katniss Everdeen. I think they should have new people play the characters, maybe even fans! I really hope that this movie will not go down in shame like twilight did. As a student myself having read all of the books several times, I just hope The Hunger Games movie all works out well...may the odds be ever in your favor...directors...
ReplyDeleteBtw, nice pick for Gale although he is already famousish XD.
TEAM BUTTERCUP!!!! He's the reason the war started! JK!
they already have katniss chosen ahe is the older sis in SERIES OF UNFORTUNATE EVENTS
ReplyDeleteher name is Emily Browning
peeta is the older bro in NARNIA his name is william mosley
and haymich is alan rickman from hary potter
I like him a lot for Gale. My first choice would be Gaspard Ulliel though.
