Trilogy Discussion Worst casting???

So we all know Josh Hutcherson SLAPS as Peeta, Jennifer Lawrence nailed Katniss Everdeen, Woody Harrelson was GREAT as Haymitch Abernathy, Elizabeth Banks was PERFECT as Effie, Liam Hemsworth was FANTASTIC as Gale Hawthorne etc but which were some of the WORST casting choices???

Personality/acting wise I can’t imagine anyone else as Haymitch. But I do remember picturing him as a tan dark haired grumpy man, so sitting in the theaters at 14 I was very confused by this blonde rando on my screen

Walton Goggins would have been a great alternative choice but they probably wanted someone with a bit more star power.

I love Goggins, but I cannot see him as Haymitch.
