Watch Woody Harrelson bring the tragic drunk mentor, Haymitch Abernathy, to the big screen in the The Hunger Games Series. Across the four
original films, Woody Harrelson played the fan-favorite mentor exactly as described on the pages of Suzanne
Collins’ books—drunk and depressed but surprisingly filled with wisdom and useful insight. Woody
Harrelson was the perfect casting for Haymitch Abernathy. Stream The Hunger Games series on Lionsgate Play with PLDT Home.
True Detective

The first season of True Detective was can’t miss
television. Though many remember the series’ first season due to the ‘McConaissance’ of Matthew
McConaughey, Woody Harrelson was also a tour-de-force in the series. Both actors were cast against
‘type’ in this show, both being known as ‘laid back dudes’, but both proved that they have
serious acting chops in this series. Stream the True
Detective series on HBO Go with PLDT Home.
Now You See Me

Woody Harrelson is better known for comedy thanks to his breakout role in the classic sitcom ‘Cheers’.
Just like in ‘Cheers’, Harrelson is the scene stealer in the ensemble cast in Now You See Me as the mentalist/hypnotist
Merritt McKinney. He even steals more scenes in the sequel, Now You See Me 2, as he tries to
play two different characters. Stream the Now You
See Me series on Lionsgate Play with PLDT Home.
White House Plumbers

Making an audience, whether a character is a competent buffoon or an incompetent genius, can be difficult to pull
off, but not for Woody Harrelson. White House Plumbers
is a satirical look back at the Watergate scandal in the US through the eyes of the men tasked to ‘plug the
leaks’. Harrelson plays one of those men, E. Howard Hunt and Harrelson’s charming portrayal of a
character doomed to fail but still doing whatever he can is remarkable. Stream the White House Plumbers series on HBO Go with PLDT Home.
No Country for Old Men

Much of the attention in No Country For Old Men
deservedly goes to the masterful performance of Javier Bardem as Anton Chigurgh, but don’t sleep on Woody
Harrelson’s performance. The scene Bardem and Harrelson share together is one of the tensest and most
well-paced scenes in the film, and Woody Harrelson is the perfect scene partner here. Stream the No Country For Old Men series on HBO Go with PLDT Home.
