Caesar Flickerman is the vibrant interviewer in The Hunger Games books, and the actor portraying him on screen is Stanley Tucci.

In a nice new interview with MTV, the actor describes how he portrayed the character and confirms…

… blue hair! From MTV:

“Absolutely it [stays true]. Blue hair. Very bizarre,” the actor said while promoting his upcoming drama about the mortgage crisis “Margin Call.”

Earlier this year, Tucci was in England shooting “Jack the Giant Killer” when he began to map out his Flickerman look. “We had wigs made there,” he said. “I had some noses made, which we ended up not using and teeth and a whole bunch of different things. When I got to North Carolina [to shoot ‘Hunger Games’], we played around for about seven hours and we started shooting the next day. I was only there for about a week, but it was fantastic.”
