Hiddleston was born in Westminster, London, on February 9, 1981, the son of Diana Patricia (née Servaes), a former stage manager and arts administrator, and James Norman Hiddleston, a scientist in physical chemistry who was the managing director of a pharmaceutical company. He attended The Dragon School in Oxford and then went on to study at Eton College. He studied for his Classics degree at Pembroke College, University of Cambridge, earning a double first. In 2005, he graduated from the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art.

In Hiddleston's second term at Cambridge, he was seen in a production of A Streetcar Named Desire by Lorraine Hamilton of the notable actors’ agency Hamilton Hodell, and was shortly thereafter given his first television role in Stephen Whittaker’s adaptation of Nicholas Nickleby for ITV. While still at university he appeared in Conspiracy (BBC/HBO), and as Randolph Churchill, the son of Winston Churchill the Wartime Prime Minister, in the BAFTA and Emmy award-winning BBC/HBO drama The Gathering Storm, opposite Albert Finney and Vanessa Redgrave.

On graduating from the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, Hiddleston won his first film role as Oakley in Joanna Hogg’s award-winning first feature, Unrelated. He also appeared in the leading role of Edward in Joanna Hogg's second feature, Archipelago. He has also had leading roles in Declan Donnellan's company Cheek by Jowl's productions The Changeling (in which he played Alsemero and for which he received an Ian Charleson Awards 2007 Nomenation), and Cymbeline (Posthumus Leonatus & Cloten), for which he won the Laurence Olivier Award for Best Newcomer 2008.

His Donmar Warehouse credits include Cassio in Michael Grandage's production of Shakespeare's Othello alongside Chiwetel Ejiofor and Ewan McGregor to much critical acclaim and later Lvov in their West End revival of Chekhov's Ivanov. These two roles earned him the Whatsonstage.com Theatregoers' Choice Awards for Best Supporting Actor 2008.

His TV credits include Magnus Martinsson in the BBC detective drama Wallander, Bill Hazledine in Suburban Shootout, John Plumptre in the BBC costume drama TV film Miss Austen Regrets and William Buxton in the Christmas edition of BBC costume drama series Cranford.

He portrayed Loki in the 2011 Marvel Studios feature film Thor directed by Kenneth Branagh. In 2011, he portrayed F. Scott Fitzgerald in Midnight in Paris, written and directed by Woody Allen, and is set to appear in War Horse, directed by Steven Spielberg, and the upcoming The Deep Blue Sea, based on the 1952 play by Terence Rattigan, alongside Rachel Weisz and Simon Russell Beale. He will reprise his role as Loki in The Avengers, to be released 4 May 2012 in 3-D. On May 13, it was announced that Hiddleston would star in Henry V as the title character, in a BBC film version of the play by William Shakespeare, in addition to a part in Henry IV alongside Jeremy Irons.

Tom has also joined the cast of Jim Jarmusch's Only Lovers Left Alive, set to shoot in 2012, and in February 2012 it was confirmed that he had been cast in the film adaptation of Elliott Chaze's 1953 crime novel Black Wings Has My Angel, which will co-star Anna Paquin and centers around a thief and a call girl whose lives are changed by an armored car hiest.

Tom Hiddleston has revealed he would like to step behind the camera as a director. The British actor, best known for playing villain Loki in Thor and Avengers Assemble, is helping to judge the Jameson Empire Done In 60 Seconds short films competition, and admitted he would like to make his own movies in the future. "I've never actually made one myself, apart from messing about on my phone. I've written stuff that has gone on to be produced, which is definitely for the best for all of us," he said. "I would love to do it at some point. The trouble is, I've just been so busy with acting that I haven't had the chance to take out the time to produce my own stuff." Tom insisted he won't be the Simon Cowell of film, and will instead be supportive of budding filmmakers entering the competition. "No way, absolutely not. I know how hard it is to make films and to be in them so I will be much more compassionate," he said. "I'm an ambassador for the competition so I hope I can encourage people to pick up a camera and shoot and send in entries so we can get as many films as we can." He added: "I'll be looking for confidence and style. Every filmmaker has an individual take on the world and what I find most impressive is when somebody has the confidence to put their own stamp on something." The closing date for entries to be submitted for the competition is January 20 2013. See Jameson Empire Awards 2013 Done In 60 Seconds for details.

#7 Tom Hiddleston - enters top 100 at 45 A villain you truly loved to hate, Hiddleston's Loki was a delicous Big Bad in Joss Whedon's The Avengers, more than holding his own against a cavalcade of superheroes; it's a role he's slated to revive in Thor: The Dark World.
