Hunger Games actor Ethan Jamieson was arrested for assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill, Us Weekly can confirm.
Jamieson — who played the District 4 male tribute in 2012’s The Hunger Games — is facing three counts of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill, according to the arrest report obtained by Us on Wednesday, April 15.
The actor, 27, was arrested on March 23 in Raleigh, North Carolina. According to TMZ, which was first to report the news, Jamieson allegedly assaulted three men identified as “E.F., J.M. and K.W.,” using a 9mm semi-automatic handgun.
Jamieson is no stranger to run-ins with the law. He was previously arrested in March 2025 for “resisting a public officer,” according to his arrest report.
The alleged incident also took place in Raleigh, North Carolina, where Jamieson currently resides.
Us Weekly has reached out to a representative for Jamieson and the Raleigh Police Department for comment.
Prior to his back-to-back arrests, Jamieson has flown under the radar after making a brief splash as a child actor.
Jamieson made his acting debut on a 2009 episode of One Tree Hill playing “Kid No. 2.”
The following year, Jamieson starred in the TV movie The Rusty Bucket Kids: Lincoln, Journey to 16 and the short film Gravity.
In 2012, Jamieson played Tribute Boy District 4 in The Hunger Games, which starred Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson and Liam Hemsworth. Jamieson appeared as himself in 2012’s The World Is Watching: Making the Hunger Games, which gave fans a behind-the-scenes look at the hit movie. He also appeared in 2017’s Extras: The Hunger Games.
His last acting credit was in 2013 when Jamieson had a guest role on an episode of Justified. He played Milo Truth.
Following the success of The Hunger Games, Jamieson spoke with LancasterOnline in March 2012, telling the outlet, “I knew that the books were popular, but I didn’t know that the movie was going to be so big.”
Jamieson told Clevver TV that same month that he had a great time filming the big box office hit. “There are a lot of good things [about that time], but pulling pranks on each other was pretty fun,” he gushed.
While he called signing autographs at the movie’s red carpet premiere “pretty awesome,” Jamieson noted in his LancasterOnline interview that he didn’t see acting as a full-time job.
“I want to be just a normal person,” he added.
