Tom Rhys Harries

Biography

Tom Rhys Harries is a Welsh actor who has steadily built a reputation for playing charismatic, often troubled characters before landing his biggest role to date in 2026. He first gained international attention playing Power Noel in Guy Ritchie's action-comedy film "The Gentlemen" (2019) and later starred as the hedonistic DJ Axel Collins in the Netflix hit series "White Lines" (2020). In 2026, he takes on the lead role in the DC Universe's horror-thriller "Clayface" (September 11, 2026). Harries plays Matt Hagen, a fading B-movie actor who, in a desperate bid to maintain his youth and career, becomes the tragic, shape-shifting monster known as Clayface. His casting came after an exhaustive search for a "classic Hollywood" leading man type who could also convey deep physical trauma, beating out several high-profile actors for the part. This role marks his transition from a respected character actor to a major franchise lead.
