Donald Sutherland has revealed he campaigned to get the role of President Snow in The Hunger Games after reading the script. The acting veteran revealed he loves reading screenplays – and reads scripts for films even if there is no role for him in them, just out of interest. But when he read first The Hunger Games script he loved it so much he petitioned Gary Ross who wrote and directed the first movie, for the part. The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part 1 is out in cinemas now.
