List #29: So You Love the Cast of Hannibal, but Wish Watching the Show Itself Weren't So Psychologically Damaging --- Part 1



Is Bryan Fuller currently trying to ruin your life? I have some suggestions.

To start us off, I'm going to focus on one actor per day, because it turns out I have a lot to say.



Hugh Dancy

On Hannibal, he's
Will Graham --- protagonist; tortured criminal profiler; sleepwalker; dog collector; man perpetually on the verge of a complete breakdown

Instead, Watch Him in

Daniel Deronda (2002) 

Dancy is so young! (Still kind of tortured, though.) Plus, Romola Garai is in this. We love Romola Garai. Also, the miniseries is available to stream on Netflix.




Hysteria (2011)

You know how Dancy does some line readings in Hannibal that are just off-kilter enough to feel more real than they should? He does that here, too, and gets a much happier ending for his trouble.




Tomorrow: We'll look at Hannibal himself, Mads Mikkelsen.
