Career

[edit]

Thames was featured in three episodes of the first season of the Apple TV+ series For All Mankind in 2019.[4][citation needed]

Thames played the lead role in Scott Derrickson's horror film The Black Phone (2021),[5] alongside Ethan Hawke.[6][7] The role garnered him widespread acclaim, and the film received generally positive reviews from critics.[8] On casting Thames over hundreds of other applicants, Derrickson stated that "he has a gift that very few actors, even adult professional actors, have, which is the ability to truthfully and emotionally process every moment, one shot at a time, without overacting. It’s in his eyes and in his countenance, and his ability to do that in an honest, real way is something you can’t teach."[9] He is set to reprise his role in the sequel.[10] He also featured as a Young Walker in the first two seasons of Walker.[11][12] He starred in the 2024 high school comedy Incoming.[13]

Thames will next star alongside Mel Gibson in Monster Summer, an indie feature directed by David Henrie.[14] He will also star in a live-action adaptation of How to Train Your Dragon as Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III, alongside Nico Parker, who would be playing Astrid Hofferson.[15]
