The Clown Prince of Crime
Super Freak
The problem with Hardy is that he's too gruff at this point. He doesn't have that aristocratic aura about him that Bond is supposed to have. Or that sociopathic, cold gaze. Hardy's more of the hardboiled, rough around the edges, "could burst at any moment" type. Maybe he can pull it off though, because he is a good actor.
Also, he's 5'2''...
