You may recognize her from her 2024 TedX Talk on "The Power of Bravery," her breakout role as Wovey in “The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes," her viral "Barbie" movie premiere appearance, her Scholastic book series, and so much more! Fellow "Hunger Games" alum Woody Harrelson rose to fame playing bartender “Woody Boyd” on the beloved TV series “Cheers.” Since then, he has earned several awards and nominations for his roles in television and film. Recently, he starred in Bobby Farrelly's heartfelt comedy "Champions" as a disgraced basketball coach tasked with leading a team of young adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Harrelson’s performance helped bring warmth and humor to the story, earning praise for its authenticity and heart. The GLOBAL Family just keeps getting bigger and better!
