Familiar with Hunger Games’ Alan Ritchson? Well, time to get even more so.

Prior to landing the role of “Gloss” in the big budget franchise, Ritchson made a nice bit of coin working as an underwear model for the likes of International Jock. Now, we’re frittering away countless hours poring over the pictures and wishing his modeling career had taken a different turn altogether.
Let investigate:

Proof that when they cast for movies like this it’s… 1. eye candy. 2. ummm.. more eye candy.

Yeah no kidding

Or proof that people who model may want careers beyond only modeling and pursue that and audition and get cast?

Alan Ritchson was in Smallville many years before they started casting for Hunger Games.
He’s in a SyFy series called Blood Drive which is surprisingly amusing, and he seems to be quite comfortable with himself and knows how to laugh at himself.

Good ol’ Thad Castle!
Love this guy. Seems to have a good sense of humor.

Is International Jock what International Male used to be? The clothes look like it. International Male had hot models wearing the most bizarre clothes usually mesh or stretchy stuff. Thought they went out of business though. I saw all the Hunger Games movies but don’t remember this guy. Sorry.

He also did some TV shows. Smallville (Aquaman), Blue Mountain State. He’s pretty funny and not bad to look at either.

He’s WAAAY more buff now–and even more stunning–than he is in these pictures. Smallville was a STUPID show…but I watched it anyway whenever this gorgeous hunka menz was on it.
