A character who can be monstrous, tragic and weirdly relatable all at once, Clayface isn’t a standard cape-and-hero gig, rather an anti hero (or outright villain) whose power is pure nightmare fuel. He uses shape-shifting, body horror and identity as weapon. That’s prime territory for a breakout performance because it demands a bit more than swagger. Harries could turn Clayface into the kind of fan-favorite villain audiences obsess over."With early film credits including the Baz Luhrman short, The Secret Life of Flowers and the Simon Pegg/Nick Frost produced Slaughterhouse Rulez, Tom Rhys Harries showing he’s as versatile as he is passionate about finding roles that push him as an actor.
