Playing Peeta Mellark will be Josh Hutchinson -
Josh has been involved with acting since he was quite young. One of his more notorious roles was Jesse Aarons in The Bridge to Terabithia (2007). He also played alongside Brendan Fraser in Journey to the Center of the Earth (2008). In 2010, he played Laser in The Kids are Alright, along side Annette Bening, Julianne Moore, and Mark Ruffalo.

Liam is probably best known for his role in The Last Song (2010) with girlfriend Miley Cyrus (apparently, they have gotten back together), based on the novel by Nicholas Sparks. He also played Spencer in Knowing (2009), and Victor in Triangle (2009). He will be playing Ali Ababa in 2011's Arabian Nights, which is currently in production.

Personally, I'm not thrilled with the casting choices, simply based on physical appearance, but then I don't know if anyone would satisfy me completely since I have my own ideas of what each character looks like based on my own reading and interpretation of the novel. I am really, REALLY hoping that as actors they can do the movie justice. I have never seen the movies these particular actors have been in - except Bridge to Terabithia a long time ago (and Josh was so young!), so I cannot comment on their talent or lack thereof.
Keep your fingers crossed that it turns out well! It will never be as good as the actual book (in my opinion), but we can hope for entertainment and quality acting at the very least.
