Sam Claflin (Finnick Odair) and Liam Hemsworth (Gale Hawthorne) have both made the list of complex’s breakout actors. I for one agree!

Sam Claflin

Notable Role: Finnick O’Dair in The Hunger Games: Catching Fire (2013)

Still unknown, even after appearing in huge movies like the fourth installment of Pirates of the Caribbean, Claflin’s the guy who’s bringing your favorite books to life. Enjoy the Grimm fairy tale, ”Snow White”? Well, Claflin is the prince in Snow White and the Huntsman. Dig The Hunger Games? If so, feel free to get stoked on the fact that he’s about to appear as Katniss’ newest ally in the second installment of the trilogy, Catching Fire. As if we didn’t already have a hard enough time picking Team Peeta or Team Gale. —TA

Liam Hemsworth

Notable Role: Gale Hawthorne in The Hunger Games: Catching Fire (2013)

In 2013, Aussie actor Liam Hemsworth appears poised to reach the level of fame and success already achieved by his older brother, Chris, 29, who the world knows from Thor, The Avengers, and Snow White and the Huntsman. Liam’s role as Gale Hawthorne, one of Katniss Everdeen’s (Jennifer Lawrence) two suitors in The Hunger Games, expands significantly for Catching Fire, the wildly successful franchise’s second installment, which is slated for a November release.

Paranoia. In the more indie Dito Montiel crime drama Empire State, he’ll share screen time with Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. If his work weren’t enough to make him a household name, he’s also marrying Miley Cyrus. You may have heard of her.

Liam recently flew into the  Philippines to promote Bench clothing in which he is featured in their latest campaign.  The Rappler has Liam talking Jennifer Lawrence and getting whipped in Catching Fire:

6. Expect to see him in more unique and challenging roles as he starts to look for “something new.”

“I look for scripts that I think are interesting and hopefully surprise audiences and give them something new to watch.

“I also look for directors who are passionate about what they do and have a new, creative look on film; hopefully bring something new to the table which I haven’t seen before.”

7. He says that it isn’t an act: Jennifer Lawrence, his ”Hunger Games” and ”Catching Fire” co-star, truly is “amazing.”

“She’s one of the most energetic, fun-loving people I’ve ever met. Working with her on set is just easy because she’s so good and she’s just won all these huge awards so congratulations to her for that. She’s amazing.”

8. Liam gets “whipped” in “Catching Fire” — literally.

“My character [Gale] gets whipped in this one. So I spent a couple of days on my knees getting whipped, which was pretty horrific.”

9. “Catching Fire” is turning out to be even better than “The Hunger Games.”

“There’s a whole lot of great stuff in ’Catching Fire.’ The characters are developing more; (director) Francis Lawrence had a whole new take on it.”
