10 stories you might have missed: 'Hunger Games' searches for Peeta
Also, 'Being Human' renewed, Thom Yorke collaborates and Megan Fox news
Now that 'Hunger Games' has Katniss, who will play Peeta?
Unless you live under a rock, you probably know that Jennifer Lawrence was confirmed this week as Katniss Everdeen in Lionsgate's adaptation of the first book in the bestselling "Hunger Games" franchise.
With that key piece of casting in place, attention can now be turned to the next question: Who's gonna play Peeta Mellark?
According to E!Online, "Weeds" veteran Hunter Parrish is one of several actors who has met with producers to play baker-turned-tribute-turned lover Peeta.
But Parrish is far from the only familiar face/name being linked to the role, as Alex Pettyfer and Josh Hutcherson have also been mention in reports that are decidedly speculative.
Stay tuned for more information as it becomes a bit more concrete.
