“I’d already noticed Tom at one time, when he was doing a shoot for Vogue. I offered him a role in an independent film but he declined in order to continue his training [at the Richmond Drama School]. When I asked him if he was interested in a role in Band of Brothers, an American-British co-production, he left school.
For his very first scene, he had to be naked. I remember that he rehearsed on set with a sock in front of his genitals.”
- Gary Davy, a casting director on Band of Brothers in Snatch magazine (translated by me).
Tom Hardy’s very first movie scene was naked - it set the tone for the rest of his career. *g*
