Thomas William "Tom" Hiddleston is an English actor, who is well-known for playing Loki Laufeyson in the Marvel action films: Thor, The Avengers (which earned him the 2013 MTV Movie Award for Best Villain), the 2013 film Thor: The Dark World, the 2017 film Thor: Ragnarok, in the 2018 film Avengers: Infinity War, the 2019 film Avengers: Endgame, and the 2023 film Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. He also stars in the Disney+ series Loki (where plays both the main character and President Loki), and he voices Loki in the What If...? series. In addition, he makes a cameo appearance as "Great Escapo" in Disney's 2014 musical comedy film Muppets Most Wanted, and played James, a young Captain Hook in The Pirate Fairy.

After filming his role for Muppets Most Wanted (and having become well known for his celebrity impressions), ShortListMag asked him to do an impression of Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy. Attending the 2012 BAFTA Awards, Hiddleston gave Miss Piggy a kiss on the red carpet. Later that year, he tweeted a photo of himself and a Kermit doll dressed as Loki at the premiere of The Avengers in Rome. He called it the "one of the greatest moments of my life". He also played Captain James Nicholls in Steven Spielberg's war drama film War Horse.
