It's really weird... this guy has a HUGE fan base on the internet ever since he played "Bane" (in name only, the comic book version is a Latin American body builder who is addicted to a uber-steroid type drug called "Venom") in that Dark Knight sequel I STILL haven't bothered to watch:

Real Bane vs. Bane In Name Only movie version

Hardy's first "starring role" was as "Picard's evil clone" in 2002's Star Trek: Nemesis. I've seen that one. The behind-the-scenes featurette says they had a hard time casting the role because some of the actors looked just like Stewart but couldn't sound or act like him, and some of them acted and sounded exactly like him but didn't look like him, so they needed to find a balance. The compromise decision must have been to find someone who doesn't look OR sound like Stewart, hence Hardy's awful casting.

Shaved head = Patrick Stewart!! Ummm, no.

In addition to the creepy homo blowjobs rumor, Hardy was also apparently addicted to crack cocaine after Nemesis bombed, but recovered and made a "comeback" in Hollywood when he played Bane In Name Only.

I've now heard "rumors" they want to cast the guy in every major Hollywood role, from Wolverine to James Bond.

Congrats, Hollywood. You finally found a way to make me root for Daniel Craig to keep playing Agent 007.

I keep meaning to watch Dark Knight Rises. I was pissed they moved filming to Pittsburgh. I'll let you know what I think of it when I do.

LMAO! I can't get passed what a stupid idea that character that was, evil younger Picard, raised as slave by Romulans, takes over a previously unmentioned slave race and intends genocide towards humanity because...........uh....beats me.....the Space Cloud in Star Trek 4 had a better motivation. He had reason to hate Romulans, but not humans. The only sillier villain in Trek movies, Spock's previously un and never again mentioned half brother.

If they wanted an evil Picard, the could have used the Mirror Universe (where per DS9 Humans were enslaved at this point in time and were rebelling against their masters) and had Patrick Stewart be hero and villain both, that could have been cool. It seems like they used that idea, minus the Mirror Universe part. Picard even says to clone boy "I'm a mirror for you as well.". It was like a tease, "we could have had an interesting plot but we chose this crap instead."

Anyway, I find Hardy unlikable and a bizarre choice for Bond, hopefully he doesn't get it.
