Tom Blyth says he ‘took control’ in ‘intimate’ sex scene with Russell Tovey in new gay cop movie

Tom Blyth, of The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes fame, is starring in a new gay romantic thriller about cops called Plainclothes.

Directed by Carmen Emmi, Plainclothes sees Blyth playing Lucas, a working-class undercover police officer who is tasked with entrapping and apprehending gay men for public indecency in 90s Syracuse, New York.

But, Lucas discovers he himself might be closeted when he falls in love with Andrew (Russell Tovey). The only catch is that Andrew is one of his targets in an ongoing sting operation.

Blyth said that he was immediately keen to do the film when he read the script, and luckily he found himself to be a “creative match” with Emmi from the “get-go”, according to Variety.
