Career-Defining Roles and Topical Authority
Claflin has strategically built his career by taking on roles that are both commercially successful and critically challenging. These key performances have established his topical authority in the film and television world.
The Beloved Heartthrob: Finnick Odair and Will Traynor
Claflin first achieved worldwide recognition as Finnick Odair in The Hunger Games film series, starting with Catching Fire. The role cemented his status as a charismatic leading man.

The Golden Globe Nominee: Billy Dunne in Daisy Jones & The Six
His portrayal of the troubled rock star Billy Dunne in the Amazon Prime miniseries Daisy Jones & The Six, based on the novel by Taylor Jenkins Reid, earned him his first Golden Globe nomination.
