Artist I Admire

Not until recently have I noticed how well Tom Hardy does what he does.  He's an English actor whose first breakthrough performance was in the legendary Christopher Nolan's Inception.  Which is saying a lot because he was co-stars with Leonardo Dicaprio.  If that was his breakthrough roll, living up to Leo's ability, he's going to go far.  And he has, in 2011 I saw Warrior at this theater convention I go to every March in Vegas.  That movie was amazing!  Tom plays a boxer.  In one of the scenes he finally gets to have a deep conversation with his father.  The guy who plays his dad does most of the talking but the camera cuts to Tom a lot.  The way he reacts to what his father says is so realistic and deep.  You can see the truth in his eyes in that scene.  Then Tom was in the new Batman movie where he had to act with his eyes again.  He plays Bane, the bad guy who wears a mask the whole movie.  My old acting coach always said the eyes are the windows to the soul.  Tom really lives up to that.  Just yesterday I saw the movie Lawless, Tom is also in that.  It's a western movie that just proves Tom can have a wide range of character rolls.  I don't use this word a lot but I would have to say that the way Tom Hardy preforms is brilliant.  I have loved every movie he was in that I saw.  I recently read that he likes coffee too and thats a plus in my book!  And if that's not enough, Tom's pretty cute as well.
