How You Know Him: You might know Sam Claflin from 'Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides,' in which he played captive missionary Philip Swift, who falls in love with a mermaid. He also played William in 'Snow White and the Huntsman.' The English actor was also featured on TV shows 'White Heat,' 'Any Human Heart' and 'The Pillars of the Earth,' and the British sports film 'United.'

In 'Catching Fire': Claflin plays fan-favorite character Finnick Odair in 'Catching Fire,' a handsome fellow tribute who seems untrustworthy, but may surprise you -- and Katniss. The actor was worried he wouldn't come off as swoon worthy as the book describes him to be, so he worked out like crazy for the part.
