Before the role of Katniss Everdeen in "The Hunger Games" went to Jennifer Lawrence, Zoey Deutch auditioned for the part. "I screen tested for Katniss but knew I didn't get it because in the screen test, he was like, 'Why don't you read this other part?'" Deutch recalled on the "Lights, Camera, Barstool" podcast in August 2022, as per People. "Literally. But, yeah, that one was a little painful."
