Tom Blyth has an opinion on Ralph Fiennes
President Coriolanus Snow. Don’t like him, wish I didn’t know of him, and also wish that I was not fascinated with him because of who they keep casting as the man. Donald Sutherland was an icon, Tom Blyth is one of the hottest men I have ever seen in my life, and now, Ralph Fiennes.
We all know that when you mention the name Fiennes, you think of entertainment royalty.
Also, you wonder if Ralph Fiennes likes playing the worst of the worst characters. Voldermort and Snow both suck.
The actor is taking on the role of Snow in the upcoming movie, The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping. Blyth, who was the last actor to play Snow, was asked about Fiennes’ casting.
“Well, you know, I can probably teach him a few things. He’s still on the rise as an actor, yeah, he’s fairly unknown. But, like, I think he’s gonna have a great career,” he joked when speaking to Screen Rant. “In all seriousness, we don’t know that we’ll never be back. There’s a good chance that Suzanne [Collins] might choose to write another book that features Snow, and his story, and Tigris and everything. There’s a lot to be explored there.”
He continued, “I’m also excited to see this story because Haymitch is obviously a fan favorite, and I, for one, am excited to see this jump ahead and see what his story unfolds. But yeah, when they told me Ralph Fiennes was going to take over the character, I was like, ‘Okay, cool. I’ll sit this one out. There was a time where I literally texted Francis Lawrence and Nina Jacobson and said, ‘Look, I’m happy to go through six hours of prosthetics every morning to make me look like a 55-year-old, 60-year-old man.’”
Though we’d love to see Blyth as Snow again, we are excited to see him in the upcoming movie, People We Meet On Vacation.
What do you think of Fiennes’ casting? Did you love Blyth as Snow? Tell us all the things.
