Tom Blyth as Alex in Netflix's People We Meet On Vacation In the last few years, Tom Blyth ’s career has truly blown up, beginning with his role as the young Coriolanus Snow opposite Rachel Zegler in The Hunger Games: The Ballad Of Songbirds & Snakes . Later this year, he’s also set to star in the prison drama Wasteman alongside Bafta winner David Jonsson and the film version of the video game Watch Dogs, and he can currently be seen in Netflix’s hit adaptation of Emily Henry’s People We Meet On Vacation. However, the Birmingham-born actor is far from an overnight sensation. Tom started his career in his early teens with background roles in Hollywood productions, before moving into the world of indie cinema, long before he landed his breakout role in the Hunger Games franchise. Here are nine more Tom Blyth roles you’d probably forgotten he once played… Robin Hood (2010) Tom started his career with a minor role in Ridley Scott’s 2010 adaptation of Robin Hood, starring Russell Crowe as the mythical hero. The then-14-year-old Tom is credited as “Feral Child”, and despite it being a small, unnamed role, he still had to undergo training to shoot bows and arrows as part of his work in the movie. Robin Hood featured an impressive star-studded cast including Cate Blanchett, Oscar Isaac and Mark Strong, and reinvented the classic Robin Hood story, turning it into something much grittier and darker.

The troubling film follows two birdwatching enthusiasts with self-destructive tendencies who connect on a website for people with suicidal tendencies. Scott And Sid (2018) The British coming-of-age drama Scott And Sid marked Tom Blyth’s first leading film role. Based on the lives of filmmakers Scott Elliott and Sid Sadowskyj in their younger years, the 2018 movie follows two teenagers who aim to complete a list of accomplishments before they turn 15. Upon its release, both of its leads, Tom and Richard Mason, were praised for making their misfit characters likeable and investing audiences in the story. Benediction (2021) Tom played Glen Byam Shaw in the 2021 biopic Benediction, which starred Jack Lowden and Peter Capaldi as the real-life war poet Siegfried Sassoon at different stages of his life. Sassoon was an English poet and war veteran who became famous for his anti-war stance after fighting on the Western Front in World War I. Tom’s character, Glen Byam Shaw, was a real-life actor and theatre director who was a close friend of Sassoon. Although Tom’s role was minor, Indiewire ’s review singled out his “wonderful” performance and highlighted the scene when the two men go for a late-night drive as being “a rare moment in which Siegfried is able to reclaim a measure of the certainty that he lost after the war.” The Gilded Age (2022) @hbomax He's just like his father. #TheGildedAge #TomBlyth #MorganSpector ♬ original sound - Max - HBO Max Tom made a one-episode appearance in the lavish period drama, The Gilded Age. He appeared in the fifth episode of season one as Archie Baldwin, an investment banker and one of Gladys’ suitors. He goes to dinner with the Russell family and is discouraged from pursuing Gladys by her overbearing parents, Bertha and George, played by Carrie Coon and Morgan Spector, respectively. Billy The Kid (2022) A big moment in Tom’s career came when he took on the titular role in the streaming series Billy The Kid. He starred as the iconic outlaw and gunfighter for all 24 episodes of the series, which ran for three seasons between 2022 and 2025. Created by Michael Hirst (whose past work includes Vikings and The Tudors), Billy The Kid was a coming-of-age take on the legendary story, exploring the central character’s journey from New York City to New Mexico, and detailing his upbringing, romances and what led him to become an outlaw. Despite lukewarm reviews , the show helped train the actor for his role in The Hunger Games franchise. He filmed the prequel between seasons of Billy The Kid, and his time on the show prepared him for blockbuster stardom. ”Billy The Kid was the thing that started that process. It was my first lead role… There was no better training than that huge set with hundreds of people, horses, weaponry… It was a magical experience.” he told the New York Post in a 2024 interview. Tom was also consistently praised for adding “depth to the character through his sensitivity and idealism” . Bull Run (2024) Another leading role for Tom came with the 2024 workplace comedy Bull Run. The British actor played a former hockey player who takes on a role at a high-profile bank and must navigate the quirky world of investments. Bull Run follows the aftermath of the mysterious death of one of its managing directors, with Tom’s performance being praised for the way it “balances comedy with genuine vulnerability”. Plainclothes (2025) Tom co-starred with Russell Tovey in the underrated 2025 drama Plainclothes, playing an undercover cop in 1990s America, whose job it is to entrap gay men in a shopping mall bathroom. After meeting during one of these missions, the cop falls in love with Russell’s character, a closeted married man. Empire called the film “beautifully performed” and praised Tom for playing “repressed romanticism masterfully, at once a dutiful and caring man-of-the-house and a barefaced kid experiencing real love for the first time”. Paris Paloma’s Good Boy music video Scottish singer-songwriter Paris Paloma enlisted Tom Blyth and Emma Thompson for her Good Boy music video , which was released towards the end of 2025, with both the clip and the song acting as an unflinching critique of patriarchy. Tom is seen in a workplace setting, acting like a feral dog before being chased across the field by real-life dogs. Emma Thompson provides the spoken-word intro to the video , quoting writer Rebecca Shaw: “I knew that one day I’d have to watch powerful men burn the world down – I just didn’t expect them to be such losers”. “Good Boy is a message to men that you have more in common with me, more in common with everyday women, than you do with men in power pushing capitalist patriarchy; so don’t be their good boy,” Paris explained about the concept behind the song and video.
