Peeta Mellark has easily become my favorite character in the novel. Not only is he head-over-heels for Katniss, but he seems to have a genuine and sweet nature. Suzanne Collins describes Peeta as being of "medium height, stocky build, ashy blond hair that falls in waves over his forhead"...this picture of Lucas Till seemed to fit the bill effortlessly. Any thoughts???
This montage of Lucas was created by a fan of the Miley Cyrus movie he is currently starring in as her love interest. Pretty cute without being too much of a heart throb, huh? I think he has a very adorable boy-next-door kind of aura.

I like him, too. He will have to bulk up, though. Peeta can lift 100 lb. bags and was described as "stocky."
ReplyDeleteHe is exactly who I pictured when I was reading! Thank you so much for putting a name to the face! :D
ReplyDeleteNo way!!! EW. I like Lucas, but I already saw him with Miley SO FORGET IT.
ReplyDeleteHe would make a great Peeta with a little weight lifting!! I like your pick a lot!
ReplyDeleteAwesome. Now when I think of Peeta, I see Lucas!! Thanks for adding a pic to the name!
ReplyDeleteAlso, your right, I can SEE him as Peeta.
AAAA! U DON'T KNOW HOW MANY TIMES I HAVE PICTURED HIM AS PEETA! EEEEK! AMAZING!!! SO HOT!!! I LUV U PEETA! (AND LUCAS!)
ReplyDeletei soooooo think lucas should be Peeta! especially since i saw that pic you found of him! that would totally work!
ReplyDeletei agree he should bulk up.
ReplyDeleteindeed, this dude has been the guy i've been picturing as peeta, but up until now, i didn't know what he looked like. (:
i dont know about him being peeta... i would rather jeremy sumpter as peeta... lol
ReplyDeleteSo we agree that if Lucas bulks up, he could pull it off! Maybe he needs to call Taylor Lautner's personal trainer for tips?
ReplyDeleteHe does seem really sweet, like Peeta does. This isn't how i pictured him, but I guess no one will ever match how I picture Peeta. :P He could work.. .
ReplyDeletenoooooooooooooooooooooo try using alex pettyfer
ReplyDeleteehhh I don't know. Whenever he smiles, he looks so full of himself. That's not really how Peeta is, even though, I have to admit, I like Gale better. :P
ReplyDeletewow you people are sooooooooooooo lame, why would you even care im just looking for a picture of peeta for a report
ReplyDeleteHe looks a lot like the Peeta i imagined in the book, and probably as close as it's gonna get to him... He'd be great!
ReplyDeleteI'm not a hsm fan and I hate all those cliche disney channel movies, but I saw Zac Efron is 17 again and I know him from other great movies and I immediately thought him for Peeta. He can bulk up a little, but he has the charm of Peeta, the sweet,sincere, but strong traits of Mr.Mellark.Sandy blond hair, blue eyes, attractive....Peeta anyone? For Gale, I without missing a beat, thought Oliver James, dark hair, nice eyes, and a slight olive tone, plus Gale was supposed to be the hottie of District 12, and let me tell you, ouchhhh! he's hot. Ahhhhh.....And then for Katniss, I couldn't help but imagine myself. I have natural black hair color, even though I dyed it a reddish brown, I can easily change, I have blue-green eyes(but someimes they appear ighter, like a silver)but I have paler skin, I was called a vampire last year for my black hair, pale skin, and naturally cold skin. But I have brightened up a bit, have a little color, richer hair, and my eyes look more beautiful than ever. But is was odd, because Katniss is supposed to have an angels voice(I'm okay, maybe a little better than that) but both Zac Efron and Oliver James have the amazing, melodic voices that make you melt. Your opinions?....Sorry for the longness of my opinions....
ReplyDeleteMy wife suggested that William Mosely would be a PERFECT fit for Peeta.
ReplyDeleteWilliam Mosley... I don't know, he just doesn't have that "Peeta" look about him. He's... just not the right person. I think Zac Efron would be really good for Peeta! The only thing is his hair, but if you think about it that isn't the most important factor here. As for Oliver James.... he's a really good actor, and he does have a good voice, and when I think of him, I think the best boy friend type in movies, ya' know? He was always the girl's friend-Raise Your Voice, What a Girl Wants.... I think he'd be really good. I just never thought of Oliver James before...
ReplyDeleteZAC EFRON?!?!?! He would NOT fit Peeta. I was thinking more like Alex Pettyfer, even though I'm sort of starting to resent that choice. The other choice I had was Ed Speleers, though I'm starting to doubt this choice too. I dont know anymore, but definately not William Moseley, Zac Efron, or Lucas Till.
ReplyDeletenice :)
ReplyDeletewell.............if you want ot hear what i say dont use lucas. i hate him soooooooooooooo much i cant even descibe it. i think that zac efron might work and william mosely might work too but..... i guess i just imagined peeta different. i guess no actor could ever duplicate anything i imagine myself so. any way that one chick that has the really long comment up there described herself perfectly someone should find out who she is. she would be perfect for katniss.
ReplyDeleteLucas Till is a great choice. We love Peeta for his inherent goodness, and so whoever plays him has to BE good, not just act it, or he won't be a believable Peeta. So many of the actors that have been suggested are too high on themselves. Their pictures speak volumes about who they are on the inside. Lucas Till still seems undefiled by Hollywood. He gets my vote!
ReplyDeleteAlex Pettyfer.. definitely my choice :)
ReplyDeleteno one seems to fit him the way i thought he would look
ReplyDeleteI agree completely with using Lucas Till, he is the perfect peeta in my mind! We can't judge him just for working with miley cyrus. I'm Team Lucas to play Peeta
ReplyDeleteYes, Lucas would need to call Taylor's personal trainer. In my opinion, either he or Austin Butler (Life Unexpected, Ruby and the Rockits) should play Peeta. Austin would have to bulk up, too.
ReplyDeleteLucas Till? i never imagined him being peeta wow! nope nope nope no way is he goin 2 pass off as Peeta Mellark:) srry but i rlly dont see him in this guy. Both Hunger Games and Catchinf Fire r awesome!!!!! i cant wait until MOCKINGJAY comes out on Aug-24-10 OMG!!!! cant wait cant wait cant wait!!:) hehehehe my favorite books!!!!Srry 2 c@rried away:)
ReplyDeletelovvvveee him! i had alex pettyfer in mind, but he looks to old. lucas till is perfect! he has blonde hair, blue eyes, a gorgeous smile, and he's hot! he would have to bulk up a bit though. good choice! :]
ReplyDeleteat last someone who hasnt picked alex pettyfer!!! great choice! those who dont like alex pettyfer as peeta plz comment!!!
ReplyDeleteokay this is what everyone is NOT telling you, everyone has their own opion twords it. So you shouldn` t judge because of what their choice is. everyone is unique in their own way and picture things different, so if a picture works for someone but not someone else then that is how things work. now all of you may choose your own idea, but no one [for me] works as peeta because it will never compare to the person in my head. So why fight when we could talk about how AWESOME Hunger Games is!!!!!! Oh and p.s. mockingjay was supposed to come out last month!!! i just cant wait till august!!!!!
ReplyDeletedefinitely not zac efron. don't ever go there, he is not blonde at all and boys should not dye their hair. lucas till is perfect for peeta, he has the perfect look and attitude. he is super sweet too. for gale i think drew roy. he is dark and seems like a 'keep to myself sort of person' which is how i see gale. so NOT zac efron at all not even
ReplyDeleteNo no no no no!!! Not Lucas Till, Sterling Knight, Codey Linley, that peter pan guy or that one guy from that show where the girl is a detective! My first choice would be william mosely! he is who I pictured through all the books and my second choice would be alex pettyfer. But none of the people listed above! Also NEVER EVER EVER miley cyrus, megan fox, kristen stewart or any of those lame actors. Personally I think that unkown actors should be played in this movie. I would pick them before celebrities. Or the girl that plays annabeth. Not her either. it would ruin the show.
ReplyDeletei like him and all but we already saw him with miley...he fits but im sure someone else could too......
ReplyDeleteHe needs to work out and then he'll be a PERFECT fit!!!!!!
ReplyDeletesoooo... does anyone here know mike welch? well, i do and he is my number one choice! he has a lot of talent and if he wasn't being the funny guy he would be easier for people to see as peeta.
ReplyDeleteCan I please just say... I HATE HATE HATE when good books are made into movies/pictures or whatever. It forces you to see it the way some producer, director, actor, whoever imagines it. Completely ruins everything that made it good when you read it in the book. So needless to say, I think this whole conversation needs to be nonexistant.
ReplyDeleteAlex Pettyfer and William Moseley are getting wayy to old, and I think both aren't "soft" enough for Peeta. Lucas Till is PErFECT! As for those who are a about him here you go:
ReplyDeletehttp://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u110/pc269/Lucas_Till_4.jpg
In that one he looks JUST like I picture Peeta...especially in Catching Fire when he knows Katniss doesn't really love him
http://media.photobucket.com/image/lucas%20till/beejaytee33/meltmyheart.jpg?o=130
And there's one of his smile
Dude. He fits pretty well but with the Miley factor....well - ew. And he doesnt look like a bakers son. Whos that dude from 17 Again? I think he'd work
ReplyDeleteAndherNamewasTreason
Dude, Suzanne Collins is one of the screen writers. SO ALLS WELL!!!!!
ReplyDeleteAndherNamewasTreason
NOOOOoooooo......
ReplyDeleteabsolutely not
1hes definately 2 well known and 2 much of a pretty boy. watch some kids that watch disney movies be like "oh i know him, hes that actor, i suddenly want to see the movie"
I think Lucas Till is a pretty good pick, but I would LOVE to see Jeremy Sumpter as Peeta! They both fit very well, but NO WAY to Zac Efron. I mean, seriously. He's wayyyyy too well known from High School Musicals. He's still drying to drag himself out of those. So Zac is NOT an option. But Luke and Jeremy are good!
ReplyDeleteIt's the perfect Peeta!
ReplyDeleteOMG, im still in shock that someone else has the exact same view of Peeta as I do! I googled Peeta Mellark and when this picture showed up, I was so shocked!
ReplyDeleteI think he's ok for Peeta but he doesn't really look like he's humble enough. I think the main characters in the movie should be more of lesser known actors. I find its really hard to accept the personality of an actor's character when they acted totally different in another movie. Sorta like Lucas in miley and then now THG. He sorta looks a little too old also.
ReplyDeleteNO WAY LUCAS TILL!!! he would totally ruin the movie bcause he was in miley. I think unknown actors should play the main roles like Katniss, petta, and Gale. Because then the impression left on you from one movie they were in won't ruin your thoughts of them in another movie. i thought the movie would be a huge botch-up, but when I heard Suzanne Collins was gonna be one of the screen writers...
ReplyDeleteOuai il le frait bien
ReplyDeleteI think Alex Pettyfer is better. This guy has already been with Miley.
ReplyDeleteNO
ReplyDeletehahahahahahahahahahahahahah. he looks funny.
ReplyDeleteyes
ReplyDeletelucas till will be perfect for Peeta, media high/ sweet 100% lover type but be able to fight, slight skinny for peeta especially when peeta and katniss are starved in the game. No way peeta needs bulk like Taylor lautner. Gale needs bulk not peeta.
ReplyDeleteawww he's cute :)
ReplyDeleteBut i really didn't imagine Peeta like him. I don't think any actor that we all already know would suit PEETA himself. It would always just be 'blahblah' acting as Peeta. I think Peeta should be like someone no one knows. They should have auditions or something :3
Yes! Not to mention that Debra Zane(who is casting the hunger games) has casted Lucas in another program as well. So she knows him and has worked with him before.
ReplyDeleteEEWWW NO NOT LUCAS TILL!! I was thinking Alex Pettyfer. He'll have to bulk up a bit...
ReplyDeleteEEWWW so not the role for Peeta.
