Tom Hardy - Nemesis actor does incredible performance
Tom Hardy, the guy who played Picard's clone in Nemesis, has done an incredible performance in a film called Bronson. He plays Britain's most violent prisoner and he does it with splendid force and presence and a deftness that is notable, not to mention a wicked sense of fun at times. He looks totally different, massively bulked up with muscle, and he's much more forceful than he was as Shinzon, though he wasn't bad as Shinzon. I never expected this of him, but actors can change and develop quite a bit.
Btw, apart from Data dying, I liked Nemesis. I never understood why it got all the hate. I wish we could have another TNG movie, rather than this pseudo-TOS stuff. __________________

I'm going to edit "Tom Hardy" into the title so other fans will know which actor. It's always nice to be able to tell that an actor is actually acting and improving at his craft.
Personally, I didn't care much for Nemesis. If the movie had done better at the box office, I imagine that there would have been more with the TNG cast. Tom Hardy Born - September 18, 1977 "The Take" (2009) as Freddie "Cape Wrath" aka "Meadowlands" (2007) as Jack Donnelly "The Virgin Queen" (2006) as Robert Dudley Star Trek: Nemesis (2002) as Praetor Shinzon "Band of Brothers" (2001) as Pfc.

I suspect he may have been a degree better than I thought as Shinzon, with the stereotypical bad guy aspect of the character making it hard to see how good he was. Reflecting back over my memories of his Shinzon performance, I do see it in a different light now. I'll have to rewatch Nemesis. His performance in Bronson is quite amazing. It's a nice epitaph to the TNG movies. Back when I saw Nemesis my mine concern with Shinzon was that I couldn't buy Hardy as Stewart's clone because of the physical difference, but Hardy was good as Shinzon -he convincingly made him driven, strong, intelligent and psycho. But he's way better as Bronson.

Bronson doesn't look like a movie that would appeal to me. I was surprised to discover how many other roles he's had.

One of my acquaintances is on friendly terms with Tom. I hear from time to time what projects he's got going. I really loved his Shinzon performance, so it's always a pleasure to know the guy is still acting.
The occasional personal life bits that come my way... not so much. I don't need to know about his private life. |

Do you know how he felt about the role of Shinzon? Does he have a favourite role?

You're welcome. I think it's cool that he's costarring in something with Chris Pine.

I wonder if This Means War will inspire new fans to check out his role in Nemesis?
