Amandla Stenberg — Hunger Games' Rue! — Joins Sleepy Hollow

Do you watch Sleepy Hollow? Great, neither do I. But I might now. Seeing as an absolute gem of a young actress — Amandla Stenberg, who played Rue in The Hunger Games’ and made me cry forever when she died COME BACK RUE I WAS ALWAYS ROOTING FOR YOU — is joining the cast.

From The Mary Sue:

…Sleepy Hollow is getting a pair of new characters in the form of Captain Irving’s (Orlando Jones) ex-wife and teen daughter. The wife’s still a mystery, but the show’s tapped Amandla Stenberg, best known for playing Rue in The Hunger Games, to play his daughter Macey.

The Hollywood Reporter says that Stenberg’s character “feels disconnected from her dad since he has taken up his post in Sleepy Hollow.” Okay, but she gets to live, right? RIGHT?
