His interest in film began before the age of 12, when he shot several short films on his brother's 8 mm film camera. Rod has over 350 hours of credits directing television drama in his native Australia.

His first feature film, Thirst, won Best Picture in its category at the 1980 Asia Pacific Film Festival.

Having honed his directing and producing skills in Australia, primarily on the TV series, E Street from 1989 to 1991 of which he was the co-executive producer, Hardy moved to Los Angeles in 1992 to launch his American career. His first assignment was to direct Lies and Lullabies the traumatic life story of pregnant cocaine addicts, starring Susan Dey and Piper Laurie.
