English actor Tom Blyth plays Coriolanus Snow in The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes. The English actor is 28 years old but portrays Snow as an 18-year-old. He grew up in Nottingham, England, and trained at Julliard in New York City.

On being cast as Snow, he told ET Canada, "I feel over the moon to be able to kind of dig deep with [Coriolanus Snow] and follow in the footsteps of Donald, who did such an incredible job in the first movie." Blyth's career has been on the rise since graduating from Julliard in 2020, but he did appear in a few movies and TV shows as a teenager. However, there's no doubt that the Hunger Games prequel is his most significant role to date.

Blyth's first two film roles were as "Feral Child" in Robin Hood (2010) and Young Nikko in Pelican Blood. He has appeared in a few short films, but his first starring role in a full-length feature as Sid in Scott and Sid, a 2018 British coming-of-age film. In 2021, he had the ing role of Glen Byam Shaw in the biographical romance Benediction. He appeared in The Gilded Age episode 5, "Charity Has Two Functions," as Archie Baldwin.

Blyth is probably best-known for starring in the titular role of Billy the Kid on MGM+ (previously Epix). The series premiered in April 2022 and has been renewed for a second season. The role of the infamous outlaw has certainly prepared Blyth to take on an even more notorious killer, albeit a fictional one, in The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes.
