Tom Hardy Is A Great Actor

He is clearly dedicated to film as he changes so much for films, I can't believe that was Hardy in Bronson (2008) and The Dark Knight Rises (2012), he gained so much muscle for the roles, similer to De Niro when he prepared for Raging Bull (1980) and Cape Fear (1991).

He has a certain masculinity that is rare today, I never liked Leonardo DiCaprio, he always seems to be Leo, in The Revenant (2015), I just saw 'Leo begging for an Oscar', I even thought Hardy was better in the film.

Not surprised critics have said he is similar to Brando, but his dedication to roles is similar to Robert De Niro.

Best films

Warrior (2011)
Bronson (2008)
Inception (2010)
Mad Max Fury Road (2015)
Legend (2015)

He is good in The Dark Knight Rises (2012), better than Bale.

Might be the greatest actor to be able to portray other, completely different characters, the world has ever seen. And do them exceedingly well. Tell me of someone else if I am wrong.

Daniel Day Lewis, Gary Oldman, and Oscar Isaac are all pretty amazing at transforming into different characters. Bryan Cranston probably deserves a mention as well.

A group if my family and friends became Tom Hardy fans. Most of them will tell that his best performance is Bob Saginowski in The Drop. Such an understated performance, quite unlike what he usually plays.

Yes he is a very gifted superb actor. He becomes the character he plays. He is right up there with the best.
