"Sam got hurt the worst. He broke his hand doing a stunt."
"It was in rehearsal, so we weren't even shooting. He broke it on the stunt guy, warming up. I was standing right next to him. It was tough to watch."
... took it like a champ—he took it and kept moving."

Alan Ritchson Talks The Hunger Games: Catching Fire Experiences with MTV
In the recent MTV Movie Awards, Alan Ritchson, who plays District 2 tribute/victor Gloss, was able to talk about some of his experiences filming The Hunger Games: Catching Fire.
“No hazing, fortunately,” he said, laughing. Instead, he described “Catching Fire” as a great place to be, adding, “But to be a part of that, it was pretty cool. Jennifer’s star just continued to rise, even through production…it was just cool to be there.”
And not only was Alan not put through the wringer by his co-stars, he said that everyone, particularly the fantabulous Stanley Tucci (with whom he did his pre-Games interview scene), was “super-generous and giving.”
Meanwhile, the actor says that the scenes he’s most looking forward to seeing on the big screen are the same one the fans are likely clamoring for: the highly anticipated action sequences from the 75th Hunger Games.
“We shot some cool scenes,” he said. “I like the really physical kind of action stuff. I spent months training for this stuff, fight training, and becoming a dagger specialist. All those things in the arena are going to be a lot of fun.”

New Actors Added to Potential Finnick Casting Rumors: Lucas Till, Alan Ritchson, and Trevor Donovan
Lionsgate has been so silent these days despite the craze of the Finnick Odair casting in the Hunger Games fandom. Lots of entertainment websites are claiming that their sources told them about the potential actors who are in the run to play our favorite trident-wielding tribute and victor from District 4. One of those sites is Zap2it. Zap2it has claimed a few days back that their sources told them that there are no shortlist yet on who shall play Finnick. Now, they are claiming that there are already eight actors who will vye for the role including the much talked about Armie Hammer and Garrett Hedlund. Find out more about their statement below:
As we previously reported, however, award-winning casting director Debra Zane is not only looking at big names for the highly sought-after role. Actors read for the casting department this week, and while we can't reveal the full list, we've confirmed that Lucas Till, Trevor Donovan, and Alan Ritchson are among the actors who will meet with Lionsgate over the next few days.
Till is no stranger to big franchises -- or to Jennifer Lawrence. He co-starred with her as Havok in "X-Men: The First Class." He's also known for his role as Miley Cyrus' love interest in the "Hannah Montana" movie. Donovan worked as a model and is best known as Teddy from The CW's "90210." He will appear in "Savages" this summer. Ritchson, who played Aquaman on "Smallville," starred on "Blue Mountain State."

My thoughts?
There's still rumors as long as there won't be any official statements from Lionsgate and who knows none of these actors might get the role? Anyway, the newly added actors to the Finnick casting rumors are fair enough. I just don't think Lucas Till is fit for Finnick because I think he's not that tall and I think he needs more workout, which in case is impossible since the shoot might begin soon. I heard that Lucas Till auditioned for Peeta but got lost to Josh Hutcherson.
Among the three added, I would love to see Alan Ritchson. This man has potential to play Finnick. I mean Finnick is some sort of Aquaman right? He has spent his entire life in the ocean. Here, take a look at this video. Click this to watch a video of Alan Ritchson as Aquaman in Smallville. Justin Hartley (Ritchson's costar in Smallville) who happens to have a CW pilot titled Aquaman also has the potential for Finnick. But too sad for him because the pilot wasn't picked up.
As for Trevor, I heard he has been campaigning for his interest in the role. I think there's a website www.finnickodair.com for his campaign. I think he's got the bod for Finnick but I haven't seen any of his acting chops.
With Taylor Kitsch out of the circle, there are still three unknown who will complete the claimed eight actors for Finnick. Let's see if the claims from Zap2it and others are true.
