It was during the Spring of 2012 when Tom Rhys Harries got his chance to appear in the theatre play of Torch Song Trilogy. He was studying at the reputed Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama at the time but left his studies in order to pursue an opportunity which eventually propelled him to become a successful actor as we have come to know him now.
Tom Rhys Harries was born on 8 October 1991 to his parents, father Rhys and mother Ffion in Cardiff, Wales. He was raised in the place, and he stayed there even after finishing high school, opting to study in a drama school in Wales, instead of moving to London. The home connection was probably also because he was raised alongside his younger sister Beca and younger brother Gruff, and staying far from home was never in the itinerary early on his career.
