It&amp;#039;s something that every actor sort of dreams about, because, if you get to that point, that means you&amp;#039;re successful and you get to keep on doing what you do,&amp;quot; Hutcherson explained to Parade. &amp;quot;But, at the same time, you do lose anonymity, and you start to kind of become more of this idea to people instead of a real person, which is challenging.

And then there was a painful two weeks of waiting to hear if I got the part or not. When I finally got the call, I was literally rendered speechless.&amp;quot; &amp;gt; &amp;#039;The Hunger Games&amp;#039; video: Peeta Mellark&amp;#039;s pre-games interview &amp;gt; &amp;#039;Hunger Games&amp;#039; Josh Hutcherson would play President Snow Watch the cast and crew of The Hunger Games speaking to Digital Spy at the film&amp;#039;s European premiere:   See a picture gallery from the European premiere of The Hunger Games below: "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
