Ben Hardy

Ben Hardy strikes me as a slow-burn talent worth betting on. A Bournemouth-born graduate of the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama, he didn't shortcut his way in, he trained properly and broke through playing Peter Beale on EastEnders before moving into film. That stage grounding shows: there's real backbone to his performances. He could easily coast on looks alone, but I like that he keeps choosing to act rather than just appear. My instinct is that his most interesting roles are still ahead of him, and he's one I'll be watching closely.
