They’re big, they’re bad and they’re… in need of casting! Who do YOU think should play Cato & Thresh?

Earlier this week, we gave our picks for Prim and Rue — the most adorable characters in The Hunger Games – and now it’s time to choose the most deadly! Cato and Thresh are thought of as the two strongest competitors in the deadly game, so they need to be a pair of serious mean muggers.

HollywoodLife.com’s Entertainment Editor Andy Swift wants to see The Vampire Diaries‘ Michael Trevino make his leap to the big screen as Cato, while Associate Editor Chris Spargo thinks the huge break should go to Glee’s Max Adler. (which may not be too far off, since Max’s name is making its way around the web via a Twitter campaign.)

As for Thresh, Andy and Chris are gunning for Hellcats‘ Robbie Jones and The Wire’s Michael B. Jordan, respectively.

But which actors do YOU want to see battle it out on the big screen? Browse our gallery and vote below. (Feel free to contribute any of your own names. It’s still anyone’s game!)

Max Adler has made a name for himself as the hated yet empathetic character Karofsky on “Glee.” But the 25-year-old actor is looking to branch out from the small screen.

On Saturday, Max discretely made his play for landing a role in the film adaptation of “The Hunger Games.”

“I would so LOVE to play Cato in ‘The Hunger Games’ movie! Any fans of the book agree? Let’s put it out there into the Universe please! Thx!”

“The Hunger Games” was published in 2008 and is now being made into a feature film. According to an article in Entertainment Weekly on Saturday, Robert Pattinson is also a fan. “I sort of came across it last year, and I didn’t realize it was the most enormous thing in the year,” he admitted. “It’s good! It will be a good movie.”

Which actors would you like to see take on a role in this film? Do you agree that Max would make a good Cato?
