Alrighty...I don't know much about the books, only saw the first movie.

I hope its okay this guy was cast in the movie, as the last few black folks in the other got crapped on by every other person who were fans of the source material.

Chaff is one of Haymitch's (Woody Harrelson's) drinking buddies. It's not a big part.

Honestly, I'm more interested in the anonymous male tribute from district 5.

@wearethewalkingdead9 actually most names in the story come from actual greek or roman emperors. A quick google search and you can find some names of other greek or roman names, Such as Seneca Crane comes from the Roman philosopher, who was forced to commit suicide when accused of conspiracy.
