Fassbender 'was first choice' for spy film role

Tom Hardy claims Michael Fassbender was the first choice for his role in 'Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy'.

The 'Dark Knight Rises' actor stars alongside Colin Firth and Gary Oldman in the British spy thriller and although director Tomas Alfredson says he got his first choice of actors for each of the main roles, Tom believes his part of British agent Ricki Tarr was originally due to be played by Michael.
