I’m writing a fanfic and for some ideas, I’m doing a hunger games simulator. One of my characters, Andrew Reed, has a face claim of Devon Bostick. If you don’t know, Devon played Jasper Jordan in The 100. Jasper commuted suicide. Here’s how the Feast went:

Let’s start with some pictures, they’re blurry because it’s surprisingly hard to get a decent screenshot. There are lots of them but hopefully just seeing their faces a few times will help you. Recognizing them just comes with time trust me, I used to struggle to find Race and now I see a pic of someone’s feet and am like “ah yes Finch my boy”. Also, I’m only covering the newsies live cast because that’s what you can legally watch and what most people are familiar with. Also, I didn’t want to do every cast member to ever be on Broadway or tour.
