In a new interview with Fandango, the actor who plays drunken Haymitch in The Hunger Games reveals that he initially turned down the role!
Why would he do such a thing?
He wasn’t interested until director Gary Ross called him up and said he had no one else to do it (rumors about John C. Reilly being cast were certainly strong). At that point, Harrelson had already begun reading the book and loved it.
Are you glad Harrelson took the role? Watch the full, interesting interview at this link (no embed is available).
