Hero Beauregard Faulkner Fiennes Tiffin (/fnz/; born 6 November 1997) is an English actor, model and film producer. He is most known for his starring roles as Hardin Scott in the After film series and for his portrayal of a young Lord Voldemort, in the film Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.

Early life

Hero Fiennes Tiffin was born in London on 6 November 1997, the son of film director Martha Fiennes and cinematographer George Tiffin. He has an older brother named Titan and a younger sister named Mercy. He does not hyphenate his name because his parents were never married. He was educated at Reay Primary School in Lambeth, Emanuel School in Battersea, and Graveney School in Tooting. He is a member of the Twisleton-Wykeham-Fiennes family; his great-grandfather was Maurice Fiennes, while his uncles are actors Ralph and Joseph Fiennes. His maternal grandparents were photographer Mark Fiennes and novelist Jennifer Lash.

Role in Harry Potter

Fiennes Tiffin made his first film appearance as Spartak in the 2008 drama film Bigga than Ben. He then landed the part of "11-year-old Tom Riddle" in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince out of thousands of young actors who auditioned for the role. Although at least one publication alleged that his family connections alone helped him get the part, director David Yates said he was cast due to his ability to find "the darker space" in his line readings, and that he did not get the role solely due to his relation to Ralph Fiennes, his uncle who plays Voldemort. However Yates did admit that the family resemblance was a "clincher". Yates described Fiennes Tiffin as "very focused and disciplined" and said he "got the corners and dark moods and odd spirit of the character", as well as having a "wonderful haunted quality that seemed to bring Tom Riddle alive on-screen for us".

Career

After Harry Potter, Fiennes Tiffin then landed British television roles in Private Peaceful (2012) and Safe (2018), as well as a short independent film called Possession with Intent to Supply (2016). In 2019, Fiennes Tiffin was cast in the lead role of Hardin Scott in the film After. The film's success lead to four sequels: After We Collided (2020), After We Fell (2021), After Ever Happy (2022), and After Everything (2023), in which Fiennes Tiffin reprised his role as Hardin Scott. The last three films were filmed simultaneously in Bulgaria in late 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Fiennes Tiffin also played Brooks Gustafson in the action-thriller film The Silencing (2020), Jim Albright in the romantic drama First Love (2022), Santo Ferreira in the historical drama starring Viola Davis entitled The Woman King (2023), and Henry Hayes in The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare in 2024.

In addition to acting, Fiennes Tiffin has modelled for Dolce & Gabbana, Dior, H&M, Hugo Boss, Fendi, Oliver Peoples, Superdry, Ferragamo, and David Yurman.

Upcoming roles

His upcoming projects include The Climb, a film based on the 2013 Greenpeace protest where activists illegally scaled The Shard in London in protest against Arctic oil drilling, Fackham Hall, a comedy film written by Jimmy Carr that spoofs period dramas such as Downton Abbey, Mr. .....

In April 2024 it was announced that Fiennes Tiffin would star as a teenaged Sherlock Holmes in an upcoming television series entitled Young Sherlock, directed by Guy Ritchie.

Personal life

Fiennes Tiffin resides in South London and is an avid football enthusiast. He outspokenly supports West Ham United F.C. (even joining their team during The Soccer Tournament in 2023), and made a guest appearance on Soccer AM in June 2023.
