I’m totally onboard with Lock being THE actor of his generation

Hardy should have been cast as _Jack Reacher_ in the Reacher series, instead of Tom Cruise.

I only noticed him recently. He was fantastic as Fitzgerald in _The Revenant_.

He was even more impressive in [_Legend_,](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3569230/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_5) which I recently saw on a plane. I didn’t think the film itself was that good, but it was worthwhile watching because of Hardy’s performance as Reggie and Ronnie Kray, identical twin British gangsters in the 1950s.
