Aries Targett Mads was very, very good in his role as Hannibal, but I understand exactly what you mean because I feel the same way. Mads did the best thing he could have done, he took the character of Hannibal Lecter and made the role his own by playing it in a completely different way, and his Lecter was amazing. Had Anthony Hopkins never played the role of Dr. Lecter first, Mads portrayal would be the one we all think of when we think of one of the books or films. It must have been quite a challenge to take on a role that had already been totally captured and "owned" by another actor. I must give Mads credit for even taking on the role, the same as Julianne Moore taking on the role of Clarice Starling. "Silence of the Lambs" is such an epic film that the thought of anyone else playing ANY of the characters in a sequel or prequel made me uneasy and a bit resentful about seeing them for the first time. I truly believe the only reason I love "Hannibal" and "Red Dragon" is because Anthony Hopkins again portrayed Dr. Lecter, if he hadn't neither film could not and should not have been made, they just wouldn't work. I'll also give a nod to Brian Cox, the very first to play the character of Hannibal Lecter, albeit in very few scenes which actually left me wanting to see much more of his portrayal while watching "Manhunter". Cox too made the character of Lecter his own, but I'll say it once more, there is only one actor that actually became Hannibal Lecter and is hard to imagine playing any other role, and that is and will always be Anthony Hopkins.

The way he doesn't blink, the way his eyes shine with madness. His melodic voice and the way he can turn it up into that creepy sneer, going from polite to horrific in .o seconds - "Did you breast feed her?" Mads is too charming.

Sorry to be the one to tell you this but Anthony Hopkins was not the first Hannibal, Brian Cox was in Manhunter (The red dragon) from 1986, and we'll a better portrayal psychologically of Hannibal Lecter then Mr Hopkins. From the original novel by Thomas Harris. I do feel mads (my favourite Lecter) and Brian Cox, get Hannibal perfect he's a psychopath. And has research as shown us through the years. psychopaths are not crazy. There more less really charming, have beautiful IQ.... That's what makes them scary, that's why there called psychopaths, you could be sat I a room with one, start a nice conversation, laugh even. But in there head, they are God and you are an ant. Mr Hopkins however... Come across bat shit crazy, even when he's not locked up, you spot him a mile away.

The greatest actors and actresses always seem to be either very humble or a little bit shy in interviews (or both).

It's scary how similar Hopkins is to Lector (all the positive qualities of course), they're both intellectuals, enjoy literature, the arts and have perfectionist tendencies. Couldn't think of a better actor for the role, absolutely immersed into the role and completely deserved all the accolade.

Wow. Anthony Hopkins always bowls me over with his fascinating combination of sincere humility, unsurpassed talent, refined intelligence and true class. I can think of no one else who embodies all these characteristics. He is my favorite actor. Maybe he's acting, but if not, he's a very special human being and a gallant knight.

This is Hopkins' perfect role that made us love the character of Dr. Lecter that made us love the acting of Sir Anthony. I mean all his roles are good, but Dr. Lecter immediately brought us close to the intelligent, witty soul of the actor and appreciate the other roles. It's a rare opportunity for any artist to attain that ideal platform.

I absolutely adore Anthony Hopkins :)

I think that lends more weight to his performance as Lecter. These days, Oscars are rarely given to people who completely deserve them but Anthony Hopkins' Lecter is just as beloved now as he was when he won his Award 28 years ago. Have you ever noticed how rare it is for Oscar winning performances to be remembered years later? Heath Ledger's portrayal of the Joker was the last Academy Award winning performance that became iconic. Every other Oscar winning role in the last 11 years has either been forgotten or caused people to wonder if the Academy is biased and isn't really looking for the greatest performances anymore. I hope that changes soon. Rosa Salazar deserves an Oscar for her portrayal of Alita just as much as Heath did for his portrayal of the Joker or Anthony did for his portrayal of Lecter - I guarantee that Alita will become iconic, just like Ellen Ripley (which earned Sigourney Weaver an Oscar nomination but not the award itself) and Sarah Conner - but she'll probably be overlooked in favour of an inferior actress.

My favorite Anthony Hopkins movies are "The Edge" and "A Bridge too Far". He excells in both! But the Character of Charles Morse in "The Edge" is so real, and down to Earth, he's completely relatable to me.

I would not say this. Lecter is a psychopath, even being somewhat fanciful. An idealized figure. They are like gods. They just do what please them. Concepts like right and wrong don't apply to them.

Samuel Atwood When you say final book, do you mean the final book chronologically or the last published one? Both reveal some aspects about Hannibal's motivations, I guess. However, it seems that psychopathology can be also caused by some kind of trauma, like Hannibal's sister's death, and added to this, Hannibal's discovery that he was feeded with her flesh. The psychopathology seems to be not only a condition you're born with.

Samuel Atwood I just saw the movies and I always got so much things to read that I couldn't read Hannibal yet. Well, I don't know if I understood, but let me see. Are you telling me that Hannibal eating human flesh (the rude ones) was just a form that he found to fix himself or maybe just mitigate the pains of the past? This sounds a little interresting. Well, I think I need to read this book sooner than I thought to understand better Hannibal's mind. Anyway, I'm afraid that this can become a disappointment. I don't like this idea of anti-hero about Hannibal. I don't like to see him this way. I see Hannibal as something beyond all of this. Maybe like you said, a force, but not of balance but a force completely or practically free of limits with no obligation with moral senses or any kind of conceptions. Like a ghost, a spectrum, a shadow of a god among mankind. The pure expression of nature, like a stormy, a powerful lightning, a tornado, a burning fire which doesn't need to feel sorry for devouring everything because this is its nature, this is what it is. When is said things like "origins of the evil" I don't see it like "Hannibal BEING evil". I see it like Hannibal being the pure personification of what we call/understand as "evil", what necessarily don't mean that this conception applies to him as we understand it. This is why I think this character is so poetic, so beautiful, so great.

He's a genius! From this interview alone you can tell he's an intellect. Hell, everything he does he has that... I mean that's why Hannibal was so scary, because not only was he insane (well, mentally unstable if you will) but he was a genius.

"I try learn a poem a week" What a beautiful man Also he speaks like his role in The Elephant Man wasn't itself legendary.

Definitely one of the finest actors ever

Hopkins wonders why this character has caught the imagination of so many people. I think it's because Lecter is so confident in his actions, and he almost always succeeds. Confidence leads to power, which is the ultimate aphrodisiac.

This was the first role I ever saw him in, and so to me that's like HIS character... it's hard to see him as someone else.

(Because the character's popularity took off, Harris was pressured to put out a novel shedding more light on Lecter's character- hence, Hannibal & Hannibal Rising. He didn't care for that, Hannibal was born not made, but did it anyway.) I enjoyed Hopkins' performance mainly because he's just that charismatic. I liked him as Zorro as well, what can I say?

There was no big ego or bluster. Just an ordinary guy with a very soft welsh accent. I remember writing to him in 1989 asking him for a signed photo. He sent me several, posted from Kensington beautifully signed. He was acting in M Butterfly at the time in London....and I believe that's when he received the Silence Lambs script. Always loved this guy's acting. Shame that he decamped to the USA but I can understand why

anthony hopkins is probably the most greatest actor who has ever lived

l would never get tired of hearing Hopkins read something or act a part he nails his role perfectly.

What an amazing actor! He can do anything from horror (Magic, The Silence of the Lambs) to war movies (A Bridge too Far) to drama (Meet Joe Black) to action (The Mask of Zorro). He's had such a long and varied career, and he's also done some good TV work (The Lindbergh Kidnapping Case). Great actor.

He is Hannibal.Truly a great actor!

He's one of the greatest actors of all time, hands down! I hope one day I will shake his hand, that would be a great honor!

The BEST ever actor, no one can beat him. He caught me with the scene behind the glass when I was 12 or 13 and hasn’t let me go since then…I watch all three series every Christmas. Thank you, Sir Anthony Hopkins ❤

Absolute genius.

Anthony is such a talented actor one of my favorites. I absolutely love him such a handsome man. And I absolutely love Hannibal Lecter

People love Lecter because he understands people fully. Who doesn't want to be fully understood? They fear him for the same reason: he looks right through them, knows all of their weaknesses and can and will exploit those.

It's takes a genius to play the best of fools or the best of psycos

This man scares me to death and satisfies me at the same time

I would not even approach him if I saw him out. I would maybe nod, or smile. He's done so much excellent work; ( I mean yes, the Lecter films are amazing! of course!) But he's stunning to me in everything he has done! I first fell in love with him in The Lion in Winter, even though I didn't even really realize that it WAS Sir Anthony as Richard (he's so very young! ) And lastly seeing him in WestWorld, where he steals every scene he is in. Thank you , to you , Sir, for sharing your talent with us, so generously.

there is no human being on this planet, or elsewhere, that could have played this role. Anthony Hopkins does not make bad movies or characters. He is magnificent

Hopkins take is the face anyone will think about when you hear Lector, it's just how it is. What I feel like is he's a version you do not want to show fear, even if he calls you out on it. Mads, I loved his take on Lector. It was great to see three whole seasons devoted to the character. While I would fear to be impolite to Hopkins Lector, I feel Mads Lector would kill you in a much more horrific way if you gave him an ounce of disrespect. Hannibal the Cannibal, forever in our hearts...Or eating them.

If you really were such a fan, perhaps you could've at least learned to spell Lecter's name correctly?

@@abigail_yang Oh no. I misspelled his name. Clearly I lost all credibility of being a fan of the character. Fuck off.

He's such a cool actor. Forgets his lines once he's done with the project. Doesn't believe in the concept of chemistry, just goes in and does the job. Very unique

The greatest actor who ever lived

whenever feasible one should always eat the rude.

For me, the top five movie actors who played great villains were, in no particular order: Anthony Hopkins, Gene Simmons (Runaway), Heath Ledger, Jack Nicholson, and Christopher Lloyd (mainly because of his voice!).

Oh, definitely!

he's an amazing actor, one of the best of all time

one of top 3 best role interpretation ever in entyre movie history.....absolutely stunning artwork.

Gosh, he sounds so humble. Well, Mads needs to do a lot of work before he can be on the same par with this man. Still, both are pretty awesome.

I am so glad Mads came through in his own way

Anthony Hopkins and Me!

Love Hopkins and love Hannibal . Great interview . So humble . I love him

I just love him! He's awesome!! He's one of my favorite actors, because he has this ability to just "make it work" with any role he's given. I totally agree that he did an amazing job with these movies, but silence of the lambs takes the cake. Best. Hannibal. Ever.
