Early life and education

[edit]

Tom Keir Blyth was born in Birmingham on 2 February 1995 to Charlotte and Gavin Blyth.[3] His father and paternal grandfather both worked in the media industry. Blyth has two younger siblings, a sister and a half-brother from his father's second marriage.[4] Blyth spent his early childhood in Derbyshire. When his father was hired as a writer for the soap opera Emmerdale, the family moved to Tockwith, North Yorkshire. After his parents divorced when he was 11, Blyth moved with his mother and sister to Woodthorpe, a suburb of Nottingham, to be closer to her parents. Blyth was upset by the move; his mother tried to enroll him in an acting class, though he was initially reluctant.[5] When he was 12, he started work on a paper round as he wanted to provide for himself. He would visit his father's house and writing studio in Leeds, two hours away. It was there that Blyth began to take an interest in storytelling; his father made it clear that he detested nepotism and would not pull any strings on Blyth's behalf.[5]

In Nottingham, Blyth attended Arnold Hill Academy and later Bilborough College. Blyth's mother and a family friend managed to get him an audition at Nottingham's Television Workshop. At age 15, Blyth was pulled out of school and told his father had been taken into the hospital. Blyth's father died of non-Hodgkin lymphoma.[5] After the loss of his father, Blyth returned to the Television Workshop[5] and joined the National Youth Theatre,[6] appearing in the productions Twelfth Night, Hay Fever, and A Clockwork Orange.[2] Although he applied and was accepted to several drama schools, he turned them down.[5] In 2016, after spending a summer volunteering for an on-the-move charity fundraiser, Blyth decided to pursue acting as a career.[7] At 21, he auditioned for the Juilliard School in New York City, where he studied on a scholarship.[5] Whilst at Juilliard, Blyth appeared in productions such as Twelfth Night and Antony and Cleopatra.[2]

Career

[edit]

In 2010, Blyth began his on-screen career with small supporting roles in the films Robin Hood and Pelican Blood. In the years after graduating from college, he appeared in the short films Fibs (2014), Fluffy (2015), and Wash Club (2016), all while working odd-jobs in Nottingham.

In 2018, Blyth had his first lead role as Sid Sadowskyj opposite Richard Mason in the autobiographical coming-of-age film Scott and Sid. That same year he appeared in Hazey Eyes' music video for "Scars" featuring Yoke Lore, as well as in the television short Rise.

Upon graduating from Juilliard in 2020, Blyth was cast as Glen Byam Shaw in Terence Davies' biographical drama film Benediction, which premiered the following year.[7]

In 2022, Blyth began starring as the titular William Bonney in the MGM+ series Billy the Kid.[8] For the role, Blyth learned how to ride, shoot, and talk like a "proper cowboy" with an Irish-American accent.[9] That same year, Blyth made a guest appearance in an episode of the HBO series The Gilded Age. In 2023, Blyth portrayed young Coriolanus Snow opposite Rachel Zegler in The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes, an adaptation of The Hunger Games prequel of the same name.[10][11]

[12][13] In 2025, Blyth starred in the drama film Plainclothes opposite Russell Tovey,[14] the prison film Wasteman opposite David Jonsson, Claire Denis' The Fence, based on Bernard-Marie Koltes' play Black Battles With Dogs.[15] For his performance in Wasteman, Blyth was nominated for the British Independent Film Award for Best Supporting Performance. Also in 2025, he appeared in Paris Paloma's music video for "Good Boy".[16][17][18]
