Who is Wyatt Callow?
If you don’t know who Wyatt Callow is, you probably haven’t read Sunrise on the Reaping or the articles on here about it, and you definitely should. However, you’ll get a character summary here to help save some time.
Wyatt Callow is one of the tributes from District 12. He’s the son of a Booker boy family, which take and place bets on odds of events. He’s great at calculating odds, both for himself and for other people.
The Official Wyatt Callow Actor
The official actor for Wyatt Callow is a man named Ben Wang. An American actor in his mid-20s. He’s someone with a decent amount of support from fans. He doesn’t seem to have any controversy in his life, which is nice. He’s an unproblematic actor who seems like he’ll do a good job.
As usual, the list of franchises the actor has played in will be listed as well in this article. His movies and shows include:

As you can see, he’s been in a plethora of things before, some of them extremely surprising. He clearly has talent if he’s able to be in Mean Girls, of all things. Now, we should probably talk about why he’s such a popular actor.
Why Ben Wang is Popular?
So, you’re probably wondering why people are such huge fans of him. Well, he seems to be popular since he isn’t white, it’s a shallow reason, true, but it seems accurate. The fans don’t seem to want a white actor for Wyatt because he’s from the seam of district 12.
You may be asking yourself the reason behind that, and well, in the books, the scene seems to have more people of color and black people than white people. Which, again, shallow reason, but that’s what’s been noticed on platforms like Twitter. Overall, Ben seems like a good actor, and he makes the fans happy, so that’s what matters the most.
