Hardin started off his acting career mostly in film roles, appearing in the Kirk Douglas western "Last Train From Gun Hill" (1959), "Merrill's Marauders" (1962) and "The Chapman Report" (1962) with Efrem Zimbalist Jr.. He also appeared in "PT109" (1963) and the Troy Donahue comedy "Palm Springs Weekend" (1963). Hardin worked in television around the start of his acting career with a role on "Bronco" (ABC, 1958-1960). His film career continued throughout the sixties and the seventies in productions like "Battle of the Bulge" (1965) with Henry Fonda, "Berserk" (1967) and the historical film "Custer of the West" (1968) with Robert Shaw.
