Total Films released their list of 30 Hottest New Hollywood Actors and three of our Hunger Games men made the list: Alexander Ludwig (Cato) is #20, Liam Hemsworth (Gale) is #3, and Josh Hutcherson (Peeta) is #2. Here’s what Total Films had to say about our guys:

Ludwig will be playing Cato, a representative of a rival District who will go head to head with Jennifer Lawrence’s heroine Katniss as one of her main rivals. film The Seeker: The Dark Is Rising, Ludwig went on to strengthen his sci-fi credentials by starring opposite The Rock in 2009’s Race To Witch Mountain.
3. Liam Hemsworth
The Actor: Younger brother to hammer-throwing man of action Chris Hemsworth, Liam cut his dramatic teeth in Aussie soap Neighboursbefore making a splash in Hollywood through the likes of Knowing andThe Last Song.
Why So Hot? He plays Gale Hawthorne in soon-to-be-massive franchise The Hunger Games, the rugged counterpoint to Josh Hutcherson’s babyfaced charmer. Following that, he’ll be taking his place in one of the starriest action casts ever assembled when The Expendables 2 arrives in August 2012. Trust us, he won’t be in big brother’s shadow for long!
2. Josh Hutcherson
The Actor: The fresh-faced star of such family-friendly fantasies as Bridge To Terabithia, Journey To The Centre Of The Earth and Cirque Du Freak, Hutcherson recently scored critical acclaim for his part in Oscar-nommed domestic drama The Kids Are All Right.
Why So Hot? As well as appearing alongside Vanessa Hudgens and The Rock in sequel Journey 2, Hutcherson will play Peeta Mellark in teen action franchise The Hunger Games. His character is an ally of Jennifer Lawrence’s Katniss Everdeen and one third of a love triangle involving Liam Hemsworth’s Gale Hawthorne. It’s like Edward vs. Jacob all over again…
