The best Tom Hiddleston movies and TV shows are often overshadowed by his most popular role, Loki, in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Hiddleston was born in London, England, and studied acting at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art before getting his career start on television in small roles. He got his first film role after graduating college, appearing in Unrelated, and then he began accepting leading roles in several stage plays. However, his breakthrough came when the MCU signed him up to play Loki, the God of Mischief.
