Tom Hardy

Tom Hardy is an English actor, producer, writer and former model whose career has skyrocketed to the heights of Hollywood stardom. From his start in Ridley Scott's Black Hawk Down (2001) to his Academy Award, Critics' Choice Movie Award, and BAFTA nominations, Hardy has proved himself to be a force to be reckoned with. He has appeared in a variety of films such as Star Trek: Nemesis (2002), RocknRolla (2008), Bronson (2008), Warrior (2011), Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (2011), Lawless (2012), This Means War (2012), Locke (2013), The Drop (2014), and the critically acclaimed, The Revenant (2015). Hardy is also known for his portrayal of "Mad" Max Rockatansky in Mad Max: Fury Road, and both Kray twins in Legend. He has also starred in three Christopher Nolan films; Inception (2010) as Eames, The Dark Knight Rises (2012) as Bane and Dunkirk (2017) as an RAF fighter-pilot. His television roles include the HBO war drama mini-series Band of Brothers (2001), the BBC historical drama mini-series The Virgin Queen (2005), Bill Sikes in the BBC's mini-series Oliver Twist (2007), Heathcliff in ITV's Wuthering Heights (2009), and the Sky 1 drama series The Take (2009). He is also the creator, co-producer and star of the eight-part historical fiction series Taboo (2017) on BBC One and FX. In 2020, Hardy contributed narration work to the Amazon docuseries All or Nothing: Tottenham Hotspur. But Hardy's acting prowess isn't just limited to the big screen. He has also made his mark on the stage. He was nominated for the Laurence Olivier Award for Most Promising Newcomer for his role as Skank in the production of In Arabia We'd All Be Kings (2003), and was awarded the 2003 Evening Standard Theatre Award for Outstanding Newcomer for his performances in both In Arabia We'd All Be Kings and Blood, in which he played Luca. He starred in the production of The Man of Mode (2007) and received positive reviews for his role in the play The Long Red Road (2010). A true Renaissance man, Hardy is not only an accomplished actor, but is also active in charity work and is an ambassador for the Prince's Trust. He was even appointed a CBE in the 2018 Birthday Honours for services to drama. Tom Hardy has set the bar high with his talent and charisma, and is a true example of the phrase "if you can dream it, you can do it". With a career as illustrious as his, it's no wonder why Hardy is the ultimate Hollywood triple threat. And if that wasn't impressive enough, he also has a rather dry sense of humour, which is sure to keep you in stitches!
