3 Actors I Would Prefer Over John C. Reilly for Haymitch Abernathy

[krickets]

I really don't have any issue with the casting thus far, but I'd like to make these suggestion before John C. Reilly is set in stone. Will anyone out there hear me?

Dennis Quaid

See the Smart People Trailer below as an illustration:

Liev Schreiber

See last year's Every Day trailer:

"The Dad from The Last House On the Left remake" or "The Guy Who Killed Patrick Swayze in Ghost" (aka Tony Goldwyn)

Last House etc, etc... trailer

I'm so over The Hunger Games movie already and it's not even made yet! I'm usually not one to write something off this early, but this casting so far has been very irksome. Any of your suggestions would be so much better than John C. Reilly, who...no. Tony Goldwyn would be an interesting choice, it's one I haven't heard anywhere else yet. I also think Hugh Laurie would be a good fit too, which some other folks suggested.

I don't have any major issues with any of the casting yet to be honest. I definitely am unhappy with the Gale choice but I'm willing to give that actor a chance and I even watched that Miley Cyrus movie in order to see what he could do.

The John C. Reilly thing, so not what I pictured at all though. So I'm hoping that the "in talks" announcement doesn't mean that he's their only choice right now. Although I'm afraid that might be exactly what it means. Disappointing.
