7. Tom Hardy
Tom Hardy is a badass. He can do action, he can do lighter stuff, and hes got name recognition after his terrific turn as Bane this summer in The Dark Knight Rises. Hes also the last safe choice on this list. (Trust me, it gets crazier.) While Hardy has earned many a fan the last few years with his roles in Bronson, Warrior, Inception, Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy and of course, TDKR, hes been acting for far longer, appearing as a younger clone of Captain Picard in Star Trek: Nemesis, and as Clarkie in one of my personal faves, Layer Cake. Hes physically close enough to pull off Desmond, if not exactly a match for skin tone. But again, as I said, he's a badass.
