Rocker Lenny Kravitz has joined the ever-growing cast of 'The Hunger Games' in a very fashionable role, according to The Hollywood Reporter.Kravitz will take on the role of Cinna, a fashion stylist who designs outrageous costumes for Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence) to wear while participating in the Hunger Games. Cinna develops a close friendship with Katniss, and his designs help shape her character.
'Hunger Games' director Gary Ross believes Kravitz has what it takes to fill Cinna's shoes.
"When I saw Lenny's work in 'Precious,' I was just knocked out," Ross said. "It was quiet and strong and understated and open-hearted: all qualities which define this character."
Kravitz joins Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth, Elizabeth Banks, Woody Harrelson, and Stanley Tucci in the much-anticipated film adaptation of the hit book. The film is set for a March 23, 2012 release.

Hmmmm I'm slightly disappointed. I hate to be because I don't want to ruin the excitement I feel for the movie, but he certainly wasn't what I had in mind. All I can say is he better "WOW" me.

he's not what i had in mind either, but.. im kinda curious, and think this could go well! we shall see! :)
I find it puzzling that he doesn't look anything like his Mom or Dad when they lived across the street from Samantha and Darin back in the 60's. Must be adopted.

It`s probably puzzling to you since you got the wrong show.Lenny`s mom was on the Jefferson and it was the 70`s.
He can act. He was great in Precious. Honestly though, he really doesn't need to act. He can just sit there and I'd watch him. That is one pretty man.

I'd hit that!
You and me both Mike. I would totally arm wrestle you for him lol.
Leroy, relax. It was just a lame joke. The characters "Mr & Mrs. Kravitz" lived across from the Samantha & Darin Stevens in the show Bewitched. They were two crazy old white people. Get it? Ha Ha.

As soon as I saw the headline I thought, "He'd make a good Cinna."
