Who says that The Hunger Games franchise splitting Mockingjay in half is not ambitious enough? Lionsgate has revealed via their Facebook page that character actor Robert Knepper has been cast as Antonius, an original character having not appeared in Suzanne Collins’ trilogy of books and source material.
Slated to appear in both MockingjayPart 1and Part 2, it is still somewhat vague as to who the character is though it is possible that with two films, the resistance of District 13 is going to be more detailed and hard fighting than previously thought.
Knepper is a face you have likely seen before, as he is currently seen in TNT’s Mob City, and has appeared in shows and films like Heroes, Shameless, Carnavale, The Day the Earth Stood Still, and Good Night, and Good Luck.
Knepper will be joining an expanding cast of new faces, including Julianne Moore, Natalie Dormer and Lily Rabe. The series will also of course see the return of Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth, Elizabeth Banks, Woody Harrelson, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Jeffrey Wright, Jena Malone, Stanley Tucci, Donald Sutherland and, of course, Jennifer Lawrence.
The Hunger Games: Catching Fire helmer Francis Lawrence will return as director for both Mockingjayfilms, scheduled for November 2014 and November 2015, respectively.

It all begins with a good script.
same thing happened with video games
What was that? It gave a lot of video clips in random order, yet no storyline or a reason to exist.
