Tom Blyth has been cast as young Coriolanus Snow in 'The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes'

Tom Blyth, currently starring in Epix’s new Western adventure series Billy The Kid, has been cast as the young President Coriolanus Snow in the upcoming Hunger Games prequel film, The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes

“Tom's performance will both fulfill and disrupt everything you think you know about Coriolanus Snow. He's a tremendous talent who will show why Snow always lands on top.” said Nina Jacobson. Director Francis Lawrence added, "Coriolanus Snow is many things — a survivor, a loyal friend, a cutthroat, a kid quick to fall in love, and a young man ambitious to his core," Tom's take on Snow showed us all the complex ambiguities of this young man as he transforms into the tyrant he would become."

The film, based on the prequel novel by Suzanne Collins, tells the origin story of a teenage Coriolanus Snow (played by Donald Sutherland in the original movies) and how he starts down the path of becoming the tyrannical President of Panem.

Here's Tom talking about the role, the films and books. It seems like he completely gets why so many of us love The Hunger Games and the universe Suzanne Collins' created.
