2. We Have a Ghost reer moving, Hardy would be handed his big break almost immediately with a role in the high pro le science- ction lm Star Trek: Nemesis: “I think I had only been working nine months when I got ‘Star Trek,’ and it was huge,” he once said. “It was very overwhelming. So that opened my eyes a bit at an early age, kind of how not be frightened when walking into a responsibility of something like that.” From that moment on, Hardy didn’t look back. Working with some of the biggest names in the business, the actor has forged a career built on his vividly intense portrayals of characters and has done so all while forcing himself into a new direction. “It’s funny in that because it is acting, and playing pretend, but I didn’t see myself being synonymous with these tough-guy roles,” he once said. “ at’s not really me.

I really enjoyed it. [Director] Brian Helgeland’s awesome, and everyone in it is awesome. It’s a really cool project.” e complicated part was to make an audience believe it wasn’t one performer doing both parts.” e iconic roles have gone down as part of Hardy’s growing lexicon of lm. He may have taken on one of the most deadly chalices in cinema, but he delivered one of the nest performances of his growing career — two-fold.

He also explained, “ e two characters, they were pretty easy to slip between.
