10 Supporting Film Characters Who Completely Stole The Show
8. Anthony Hopkins The Silence Of The Lambs
Should Hannibal the Cannibal have won an Oscar? No question. Hopkins performance speaks for itself. But should it have been for Best Actor? That ones a little more difficult to answer. Despite only being in the film for about a fifth of its running time, Hopkins portrayal of Thomas Harris psychiatrist cannibal serial killer, Hannibal Lecter, was and remains revered amongst audiences and critics alike. Even Mads Mikkelsen, who is currently on TV in NBCs Hannibal, isnt as widely known today for his work playing the character, in spite of the fact Hopkins hasnt played the role in over a decade. That the Academy saw fit to put him in the running for Best Actor, rather than Best Supporting Actor, just goes to show what a remarkable job he did with the little screen time he was given opposite Jodie Fosters more central Clarice Starling. Signature Steal: I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti.
Movie / TV enthusiast with a DVD and Blu-ray collection bigger than I'd care to admit. If anyone is offering creative / furniture solutions to house them, I'm all ears.
