There was much speculation as to who would fill the role of Haymitch, but Woody ultimately ended up getting the gig as Katniss' curmudgeonly alcoholic mentor.
After news of the casting broke, Hunger Games director Gary Ross released this statement: "Haymitch is such an unforgettable character: funny cranky outrageous, sarcastic, impatient, biting but ultimately kind. I'm so grateful we have Woody Harrelson to play him. I can't wait for us to get to work."
Neither can we!
