Making an iconic villain your own is no easy task, as Tom Blyth can attest. The actor plays Coriolanus Snow in The Hunger Games prequel, The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, which is set some 64 years before we meet him in the original films.
In this version, the future President of Panem is brought on as a mentor for the 10th annual Hunger Games. Given Lucy Gray Baird (Rachel Zegler) as his tribute, he must navigate keeping her alive while also stopping anyone from realizing the dire consequences that losing would have on his family.
