Blat was born in São Paulo, Brazil. He studied law at the University of São Paulo, the largest and one of the most prestigious universities in Brazil, but dropped out because of his acting career. Caio is cousin of the playwright Rogério Blat and actor Ricardo Blat. The surname Blat is of Catalan origin and means 'wheat'.

Blat was discovered at the age of eight, when he accompanied his sisters to an audition at an advertising agency at their mother's suggestion. He was cast in a commercial and soon became a familiar face in advertising. Since then, he has appeared in over 200 productions across various media. A self-taught actor, Blat never completed a degree in Performing Arts nor the Law program he began. He has established a significant body of work in television, film, and theater. In 2006, Blat joined the cast of the remake of the telenovela Sinhá Moça, as the abolitionist Mário, and also participated in two plays, Mordendo os Lábios and O Mundo é um Moinho. In 2007, he was in the TV production Amazônia, de Galvez a Chico Mendes, as the rubber tapper Xavier. He was also acting in the theater with the plays The Two Gentlemen of Verona and Chorin. In that year, he won the São Paulo Citizen of the Year Prize in the actor category, for his contribution to the city. Blat never played a stereotypical lead role, yet he always played some important role in the telenovelas. He says he prefers to work on stage and film rather than on TV.

Blat also works as a volunteer in a charity which caters for 400 needy children in Campinas, São Paulo. It was there that he met his adopted son, Antônio. In 2006, Blat began dating actress Maria Ribeiro, whom he married in November 2007. Their son Bento was born in January 2010. Caio Blat is a Spiritist.
