Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss

"The rules of the Hunger Games are simple.  In punishment for the uprising, each of the twelve districts must provide one girl and one boy, called tributes, to participate.  The Twenty-four Tributes will be imprisoned in a vast outdoor arena that could hold anything from a burning desert to a frozen wasteland.  Over a period of several weeks, the competitors must fight to the death.  The Last Tribute Standing Wins."
--- From The Hunger Games

Jennifer is not unknown, having earned an oscar nomination for her role in Winter's Bone.  In The Hunger Games she plays Katniss.

Gary Ross says of Jennifer's audition:  "I've worked with amazing actors.  Someone like Jen comes by once ina a generation.  I mean, this is an unbelievably rare thing.  This is Michael Jordan, this is Barashnikov, this talent is almost stunning to witness.  There's nothing you can ask her to do that she can't do."

Peeta played by Josh Hutcherson

"And then we moved on to Peeta and Gale," says Robin Bissell, "and it was almost exactly the same thing.  Josh came in and he sat down and read the cave scene, where he's hurt and Katniss is nursing him back to life, and immediately he was Peeta.  I mean it was so clear."

Also with past acting experience as Laser in 'The Kids are All Right', back in 2010.  Same year that Jennifer did Winter's Bone.

Suzanne Collin's the author of the book-trilogy said this about Josh at his Audition. "If Josh had been bright Purple and had had six foot wings and gave that audition, I'd have been like, 'Cast Him! We can work around the wings!'  He was that Good."
