There’s a bit of news concerning casting for the Divergent movie today. Actor Luke Kleintank has revealed he’s auditioned for the role of Caleb.
Kleintank took to his Twitter to share the news that he’s clearly very excited about:

The actor has had more television roles than he has had film. He’s best known for his role as Finn Abernathy in Fox’s Bones and Elliot Leichter in The CW’s Gossip Girl.
While this is no indication that he’ll indeed nab the role, we’re actually a bit surprised he revealed he auditioned. Actors usually keep this type of news under wraps because many people audition, and their chance of getting signed onto the project is slim. You may remember that The Hunger Games actor Alexander Ludwig revealed he had meetings to play Four, but those talks appear to have fallen through.
As Divergent readers know, Caleb is the older brother of Tris and is Divergent himself. He is 16 years old.
This past Friday, Tris actress Shailene Woodley spoke about taking on the role for the first time. “After reading the book I was really profoundly moved. [The book is] very metaphorical for things that are going on today. Specifically things that I’m passionate about, and things I want to make public, and things I want to educate people on. So I think it’s a really great platform.”
