The American Horror Story: Asylum star, who enjoyed a devlish breakout in that second season, has been tapped to join the closing two chapters of The Hunger Games films.
Rabe will play Commander Lyme, a past winner of The Hunger Games competition from District 2 who takes up a military and tactical position in the rebellion against the Capitol during The Hunger Games: Mockingjay book by Suzanne Collins.
Rabe joins an impressively growing Hunger Gamescast that includes Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth, Elizabeth Banks, Woody Harrelson, Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Jeffrey Wright, Natalie Dormer, Julianne Moore, Stanley Stucci and Donald Sutherland.
In the future Katniss Everdeen (Lawrence) must fight for her impoverished District 12 in a dystopian North American regime called “Panem.” After several Hunger Games, contests to the death between children, go awry, Katniss finds herself participating in a massive rebellion against the authoritarian government.
Directed by The Hunger Games: Catching Fire helmer Francis Lawrence, both Mockingjayfilms are being shot concurrently and are scheduled for a Thanksgiving release in November 2014 and 2015, respectively.
