Tom Hardy is proof Hollywood casting directors are either insane or on drugs

Just look at the type of roles that film directors hire him for...

Stuart Baird: Hmmmm... y'know what? I think Tom could be a dead ringer for PATRICK STEWART!!! Bald, classically trained, urbane, Shakespearean Actor type!!

Christopher Nolan: Really? Well I think he looks JUST LIKE Bane from the Batman comics! Nothing says 6'8, ripped, steroid-pumped South American Hispanic dude like TOM HARDY!

George Miller: Hey guys... I got it!!!! Tom Hardy IS Mel Gibson's TWIN!!!! It's like looking at Mel's reflection in a MIRROR!!!!!! I haven't seen anyone that close since Danny DeVito was a practical real life clone of Arnold Schwarzenegger!

I'm not saying he wasn't good in these roles or that he shouldn't have been cast, but I cannot fault the specifics of what you say!
