Austin Butler recalls one of his most memorable auditions
Austin Butler has been candid about his audition experiences.
The Elvis actor revealed that he once tried out for a major role in The Hunger Games (2012) but was not selected for the job.
As he put it, he “didn’t get it at all,” relating a similar experience of being turned down in his early career.
“I don’t even think I got a callback,” Austin said in a June 26 video for BuzzFeed Celeb, “for the character Peeta.”
The Bikeriders actor continued by praising Josh Hutcherson, who ended up landing a role in the movie with Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss and Liam Hemsworth as Gale.
