Titan of an actor. His Lecter is still by far my favourite, I don't think Brian Cox's is better. Dr. Lecter is a supernatural creature of superhuman abilities, he's more than a normal man, which is what some people seem to like about Cox's performance. But more than anything Hopkins instilled his with an intangible intimacy and a lust for life equal parts impish and tender similar to Caliban musing on his island... I read the book and the only difference is the colour of Hannibal's eyes, everything else is Hopkins. He wore Harris' prose like it was his own skin.

Little did they know..... they WERE stupid and wreckless enough to try for a different Hannibal. The first time they tried (handful of years later) they failed EPICALLY! Gaspard Ulliel (whoever th he is, I still dont know) was NOT the right choice! It took them a decade or so before they finally found the right actor that made them confident to take the leap again...... Mads Mikkelsen!!! He IS a well known actor and a D@MN good one, at that!!!! He NAILED it as Hannibal. No one can EVER outshine (or out crazy) Anthony Hopkins..... but Mads sure as hell did an outstanding job trying! He was fantastic in his own right!!! I hope they dont try recasting again though.... leave Hannibal as the classic that it is because it was perfect to begin with.... that means there isnt any room for improvement!
