One of Hollywood's rising stars, Tom Hardy has consistently been churning out quality performances for years now, only his willingness to blend in to the fabric of a film has made sure he's not as well known as he should be. His outstanding performance as Bane in The Dark Knight Rises, for example, required him to wear a mask the whole film, making it hard for some people to tell who the actor was. Hardy is known for throwing himself into his roles as he put on massive amounts of weight for his portrayal of both Bane and Charles Bronson. He has turned in great performances in Inception, Warrior, and Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy and he has shown himself to be excellent at picking demanding and interesting scripts. Hopefully, with his starring role in the upcoming Mad Max sequel will propel him more into the public consciousness. Hardy's dedication, intensity, and commanding screen presence make him on of Hollywood's best rising stars.
