8 Reasons Why Tom Hardy Will Be The Biggest Actor Of 2015

6. ...And He's Not Forgetting TV Audiences Either

Though it seemed like Hardy's TV days were behind him after the likes of Lawless and The Dark Knight Rises made him one of the most in-demand actors of his generation, a pivotal role in Peaky Blinders Season 2 last year put paid to that idea. Having struck up a bond with Blinders creator Steven Knight on Knight's sophomore feature, Locke, Hardy put in an appearance as gangster Alfie Solomons in the BBC's faux-western crime saga in 2014. As Season 3 is currently filming with Hardy back among the cast, fans should expect the actor back on the small-screen in autumn of this year, only adding to one hell of a packed schedule. If they find the time, there might also be some activity this year on another small screen collab of Hardy and Knight's: Taboo, a project announced by Knight last year, with Hardy in the lead as a 19th-century adventurer. It's currently in development, but the rate at which Knight and Hardy work together (they shot Locke in just a week) could see this going before cameras late this year.
