Ever since his earliest appearances as soldiers in Ridley Scott’s “Blackhawk Down” and the miniseries “Band of Brothers” and as the villain in “Star Trek: Nemesis,” Tom Hardy has possessed a uniquely off-kilter screen presence (and a penchant for weird voices).
Although his career began when he won a modeling competition, Hardy has pursued challenging and even abrasive roles, playing shady characters with complex moral values.
He’s led blockbuster franchises, including the questionable but popular “Venom” superhero movies, and he’s been Oscar-nominated for his intense role in Alejandro González Iñárritu’s grueling drama “The Revenant.”
