As the embers from the Jennifer Lawrence casting inferno die down, director Gary Ross is ready to turn his attention to the boys. Ross is reportedly testing out his Hunger Game hopefuls with previously cast Lawrence to see who has the right spark. Weeds's Hunter Parrish and X-Men: First Class' Lucas Till are among those in the running for Peeta, the baker's son, while Liam "My brother is Thor" Hemsworth and Falling Skies' Drew Roy are amongst those up for huntsman Gale. We've sized up the pros and the cons or each candidate below but who are your ideal boys for your dream Hunger Games cast?
PEETA
Hunter Parrish -- PRO: You can easily see Katniss falling for him CON: Possibly too ripped to be the underdog?
Josh Hutcherson - PRO: Right age at 18, possibly the best actor of this bunch CON: Not blond
Evan Peters - PRO: Definitely sympathetic CON:Is he too geeky to set hearts aflutter?
Alexander Ludwig - PRO: Right age at 19. CON: Too pretty to seem like he was born into a famine-stricken wasteland.
Lucas Till - PRO: All-American looking blond CON: Is he too heroic to play the softie?
GALE
Liam Hemsworth -- PRO:Stoic stern features. CON: Too blond & too Australian.
David Henrie -- PRO: Dark features CON: Too goofy for such a serious part.
Robbie Amell -- PRO: Broody good looks. CON: A little too much like an attractive barista rather then a master hunter.
Drew Roy -- PRO: Has the mean, lean look of post-apocalyptic survivor. CON:Too short; IMDB says he's 5'9 and 3/4ths which means he's about 5'8 in heels.
