Seneca Crane’s beard has become somewhat legendary amongst the Hunger Games fanbase. In this video with Epix, Wes Bentley talks about the popularity of his character’s beard.

Jennifer Lawrence, Bradley Cooper Discuss ‘Catching Fire’ with MTV
While promoting their upcoming film, The Silver Linings Playbook, Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper talked to MTV about Catching Fire in Toronto. As you will see below Mr. Cooper is quite the Hunger Games fan, who knew?
It seems that “Hangover” actor, currently at the Toronto International Film Festival promoting his and co-star Jennifer Lawrence’s new film “The Silver Linings Playbook,” is the latest person to catch fire and become a “Hunger Games” fan. “I just saw it,” Cooper told a surprised Lawrence when MTV News spoke with the pair at TIFF. “I didn’t even tell you? I didn’t text you?”
Cooper further proved his “Hunger Games” fandom by listing reasons why he’s excited for “Catching Fire” to come out. “Philip Seymour Hoffman is in this,” he said. “He’s unbelievable.”
The Oscar-winning “Capote” star isn’t the only newcomer on board for “Catching Fire.” Sam Claflin was recently cast as Finnick, and Lawrence expressed her own excitement over the casting. “He’s wonderful. He’s really sweet, a great, wonderful actor. He’s got a great American accent.”
Excited as he is for Lawrence’s next turn as the Girl on Fire, Cooper admitted his disappointment that a certain character won’t be back for the sequel.
“I’m bummed out that Wes Bentley got killed. He was awesome,” he said. When MTV’s Josh Horowitz tried to assure him that Bentley’s character, Seneca Crane, might still be alive, both Cooper and Lawrence were quick to shut him down, knowing full well that the door closing on Seneca meant the gamemaker’s death.
“It’s kind of like a Tupac situation,” Lawrence explained nonchalantly.

Seneca Crane finds the Burn Book
High school gossip strikes Panem! Here is another meme courtesy of the incomparable Meangirlsofpanem tumblr! Seneca Crane has found the Burn Book and look what scandal he discovered.
Of course Glimmer would be in this one, wouldn’t she?
If you haven’t yet visited this AWESOME tumblr you should consider doing so. It’s full of funny stuff!
Seneca Crane Wants ‘The Hunger Games’ DVD
You may recall some of Risa Rodil’s extraordinary work from previous posts, like this AMAZING Hunger Games periodic table, this Catching Fire poster, or this title artwork. She is an otherworldly, one-of-a-kind talent.
And in her tradition of excellence, here’s a little change of pace:
It seems our friend Seneca is looking forward to the DVD release just as much as we are! Except we’re probably looking forward to Risa Rodil’s next incredible creation with even more gusto. Risa, you are incredible!
You can follow Risa on Twitter @risaaang. Tell her how great she is!
What if THIS was in Seneca Crane’s bowl?
It’s a truth universally acknowledged that the Seneca Crane death scene is completely badass. It was one of Gary Ross’ best additions (let’s hope Gary is staying on. More on that later!)
But what if there was something else in the bowl instead of the nightlock berries?
THE HORROR, THE HORROR!
You can force him to take his life, but NEVER make him shave that beard!

Seneca Crane’s Beard on Careers
This is just absolutely ridiculous, and that’s why we love it!
Thank silvestrate.tumblr.com for this laugh.
Come to think of it, we could see Cato and Marvel rocking that beard in the Capitol someday, all while eating a piece of pig their pal Seneca Crane ordered. It really is too bad they all had to die.
It really doesn’t become Clove at all, though. She should grab one of her knives and shave it off while sneering viciously.
Speaking of Seneca Crane’s beard, we posted THIS earlier today.
Seneca Crane’s Beard Facebook Page Hits 18,000 Likes
Seneca Crane’s Beard is REALLY popular, and so is its Facebook page! This is a Facebook page that has gotten so much attention, from major news outlets to Wes Bentley himself. He has said many times how much he loves that it exists.
We also think the page is hilariously run. It’s just one of those cases where you throw up your hands and laugh about how cool the Internet can be. To LIKE Seneca Crane’s Beard, CLICK HERE!
Here are a couple of statuses from the Beard:
It pains me to make this announcement, because I know how disappointed you all will be, and for that, I am sorry. I have decided to shave myself. I need a new look, and today I’ll be moving forward and making that change. I’m thinking I’d look good as a chin strap, or maybe a goatee. As a result of my transformation, I will be closing this page and removing it from Facebook permanently. Thank you for your consideration.
Don’t fret, everyone. That was an April Fools joke!
Baby, you light up my world like nobody else, the way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed, but when you smile at the ground it ain’t hard to tell: you don’t know, you don’t know you’re BEARDIFUL!
Hah!
NextMovie’s Eight Biggest Surprises from The Hunger Games Movie
NextMovie.com has done a spectacular job covering The Hunger Games, and yesterday they came out with a piece we truly enjoyed. For their full breakdown and analysis, click HERE!
Leven Rambin smiling for the camera
Here are their eight biggest — and best — surprises. We kind of agree with all of them!
Foxface and Katniss Bump into Each Other
We weren’t expecting Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence) and the sneaky Foxface (Jacqueline Emerson) to become, um, acquainted so early in the Games … but we really did like watching the two jointly opt for the flight (as opposed to fight) strategy to survival after colliding into one another. It definitely set them apart from the viciousness underway back at the Cornucopia.
Cato and Glimmer Sittin’ Under a Tree
It was a pretty gossip-worthy shocker that Glimmer (Leven Rambin) and Cato (Alexander Ludwig) – who were equally good-looking and arrogant, come to think of it – became a cross-district item during “The Hunger Games.” In the books, it seemed like Cato might’ve had a shine for his own district’s Clove (Isabelle Fuhrman), but we can’t lie, we kinda dug the movie matching.
LionsgateSnow’s Perspective on the Games
We knew we’d get to see a little more of President Snow (Donald Sutherland) in the film than we’d read about, but what we did not foresee was how thoroughly his position on the Games would be represented. We loved seeing him in his rose garden dishing out knowledge on how to keep the masses in check. It was a great set up for the bigger picture (and, of course, the sequel “Catching Fire”).
Revolution Hits District 11
Director Gary Ross did tease that there’d be a peek at the discontent in District 11 in the movie, but we had no idea it’d be so intense! It was almost like an early glimpse at the ruckus of “Mockingjay.” And who didn’t fist pump when those Capitol grain supplies went down? Well played, Steven Soderbergh.
Caesar Flickerman Running the Show
Having Caesar Flickerman (Stanley Tucci) serve as a bizarre pacemaker for the movie was darn effective. For one, those moments where he popped in Capitol TV-style were madly entertaining reminders that this was a show, and they also helped to move the action forward. Everyone knew Tucci would bring pure gold to the role, but we didn’t expect him to have so much good screen time to work with.
Haymitch’s Star-Crossed Lovers Play
It was well-anticipated that Haymitch Abernathy (Woody Harrelson) would use the “star-crossed lovers from District 12″ bit in his sponsorship efforts, but the movie added a twist by having him put the dual victors concept into motion. Not only was it nice to see how that game change came about, but it was also great to watch Haymitch work it for both of his mentees.
LionsgateCato’s Descent into Madness
In the muttation-driven battle between Cato, Katniss and Peeta (Josh Hutcherson), we loved it when Peeta put his throwing strength to good use and chucked that career tribute right over his shoulders to protect his lady. But what was even better was Cato’s final monologue. While he started out tough and eager to bring “honor” to his district, by the end, of it he’d become just crazy enough to realize how senseless the Games were. Those lines added some really interesting complexity to the scene.
Seneca and the Berries
Perhaps the biggest surprise of all was the moment Seneca Crane (Wes Bentley), having just allowed two out-lying district tributes to out-maneuver him, was locked in a room to find a bowl of nightlock berries awaiting. Throughout the movie, he was clearly under warning not to disappoint, and we readers of the books knew things wouldn’t pan out so well for him. Still, this scene served as a testament to both the gravity of his mistake and Snow’s wicked cleverness.
