Why did he stop acting?

Dude, he's incredible.

He is like... And not only do I wish that we had just gotten to see him continue to act and perform, because he's just very compelling.

I really wish we had gotten to see him in another Nolan movie, because he is such a classic Nolan chameleon.

Yeah.

Like, he is such... Listen, I'm on the record over the course of this Nolan rewatch run of saying...

And maybe I'll not only change this at the end, but probably have contradicted this five times already.

But I think you can make the case that, like, Hardy as Eames in Inception is, like, maybe the single most perfect casting of anything in the run.

It's just unbelievable and undeniable.

I think I agree with you.

But I'm like, could this guy have, like, played Eames?

He definitely could have been in The Prestige.

I mean, Inception most of all, I think.

But he could have been in Dunkirk?

Literally everything is my bullet point.

You know, we've talked about it already.

I think we've also talked about my insomnia pick, but just to kind of, like, reiterate it here at the end, you outlined this earlier, the measuring stick men.

Like, this idea of Dormer and Finch.

Measuring stick men is such a good way to put it.

Thanks, buddy.
