At the same time, Emmi's brother was becoming a police officer, and he was in the process of coming out as gay.

For almost 10 years, Emmi worked to bring the story to life, in what would become his debut feature-length film, "Plainclothes."

"Plainclothes" stars Tom Blyth and Russell Tovey in a gritty depiction of queerness.

At least 20 of those apprehended were turned over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Acknowledged that “we’re in a really dark time,” Tovey would like viewers to see a message of “hope” in the film’s deliberately chaotic ending. This has been my dream since I was a kid. "This is a sort of coming of age, coming out film, but it is more than that, I think it's...

But he finds a glimmer of happiness, peace and serenity through Lucas. To get to premiere my first feature that I wrote and I directed at this festival is the biggest honor of my life."

"I think we spotted in each other a kinship in wanting to tell authentic, honest, truthful, necessary, vital stories, and the script just sings, so it was really easy for us to connect," said Tovey about working with Blyth.

He went on to say, "It's a queer movie, but all the themes in it are universal - Love, unrequited love, lost love, desire, passion, pleasure - It's humanity."

Co-star Christian Cooke echoed the same sentiments.

What’s heartbreaking is what he does to himself, the rules that he gives himself. The film’s steamiest moment ― hailed by LGBTQ+ outlet Queerty as “the hottest movie scene of the year” ― finds Andrew and Lucas sharing a kiss in the lobby of a movie theater before heading to an abandoned greenhouse and, later, a car for a tryst.

In rehearsals for the scene, Blyth worked with Emmi and an intimacy coordinator to come up with “a backstory for Lucas, where he’d maybe had a drunken kiss or a moment of touch with a friend that led up to this moment, his first proper experience with a man.”

“We built some tension underneath, and just let it unfold,” he said.

As it is, he now does acting for a day job, and through his social media pages, he has, in the past, endorsed or promoted for several reputable brands, including;

  • Giorgio Armani
  • Boglioli
  • Cartier
  • Tom Ford
  • Hermes
  • Ralph Lauren
  • Coach

Tom Blyth Net Worth 

Tom Blyth’s net worth is $900k thousand and his annual salary is $400k thousand, as estimated in 2025.

Emmi wrote “Plainclothes” with Tovey in mind, having been a fan of the actor’s smoldering portrayal of video game guru Kevin in “Looking.” Tovey says he was instantly captivated by Emmi’s script, describing Andrew as a “flawed, fascinating character who is kind and loving,” but also “very, very damaged.”

“As a gay man myself, growing up in a society that didn’t feel like it was built for me or welcoming or inviting for me, I carried around a lot of shame,” he told HuffPost in an interview.

As a matter of fact, he is a little bit conservative when it comes to sharing details about his personal and dating life with the media. The only catch is that Andrew is one of his targets in an ongoing sting operation.

While filming Plainclothes, Blyth and Tovey made use of an intimacy coordinator who helped them with their sex scenes.

Blyth told Variety: “It was really intimate, really vivid, and Joey [Massa, the intimacy coordinator] was incredible.

“Is it going to get worse? So, if the rumors are true, Britt Berke is Tom’s girlfriend. 

On another note, Tom has been alleged to be gay. Probably,” he said.

I think it works best when the actors feel emboldened to be able to take control of the choreography and make it feel organic,” he said.

Emmi first “got the idea” for Plainclothes in 2016, when he “read an article in the Los Angeles Times about undercover police officers who were arresting men in a Long Beach park bathroom”.

“Around that time, when I read the article, my brother was becoming a police officer and through my conversations with him and thinking about my own coming out experience, the character of Lucas was born,” he said in a piece posted to the Sundance Film Festival website, where the film is due to premiere this week.

Emmi set the film in his hometown as well and set it in the 90s, “which was around the time that I started suppressing my feelings as a boy,” he said.

“I think that I made this as a way for my 7-year-old self to finally exhale,” Emmi added.

Blyth was unaware that the sting operations depicted in Plainclothes happened as late as the 90s when he first accepted the offer to play Lucas.

Speaking to Variety, he said: “I knew about it happening up until the ’50s, but I think I wrongly and naively assumed that it died out.
