List #29: So You Love the Cast of Hannibal, but Wish Watching the Show Itself Weren't So Psychologically Damaging --- Part 5

Part 1 was Hugh Dancy.
Part 2 was Mads Mikkelsen.
Part 3 was Caroline Dhavernas.

Part 4 was the Sassy Science Squad, Plus Bonus Jack Crawford.



Bryan Fuller likes to gather his own little personal collection of actors to draw from --- like Caroline Dhavernas, star of Wonderfalls, whom Fuller summoned back nine years later.

Here's some love for more of the ever-expanding troupe of the Bryan Fuller Repertory Players.



Raul Esparza

Previous Bryan Fuller Show: Pushing Daisies (as Alfredo Aldarisio) [Rec. #233]

On Hannibal, he's Dr. Frederick Chilton, who runs the Baltimore State Hospital for the Criminally Insane.

Instead, Watch Him in


Company (2007)

It was Rec. #99.

Ellen Greene

Previous Bryan Fuller show: Pushing Daisies (as Vivian Charles)

On Hannibal, she's Mrs. Komeda, a novelist and frequent dinner party guest of Dr. Lecter.

Instead, watch her in


Little Shop of Horrors (1986)

See her battle a different kind of man-eater. (Heh. Sorry. [Not sorry.])

Eddie Izzard

Previous Bryan Fuller Show: Mockingbird Lane (as Grandpa Sam Dracula)

On Hannibal, he's Dr. Abel Gideon, a murderous psychopath.

Instead, Watch Him in



Dress to Kill (1999)

It was Rec. #152.



The Riches (2007)

It was Rec. #202.

Plus, there's also . . .

Ellen Muth, star of Dead Like Me, who did a version of that character on Hannibal.

Molly Shannon, who guested on both Hannibal and Pushing Daisies.

Chelan Simmons, who brought Gretchen Speck from Wonderfalls to Hannibal.

Gina Torres, who is Bella Crawford on Hannibal, and guested on Pushing Daisies.



But I would also like to request . . . 

Katie Finneran, who was a great foil to Caroline Dhavernas on Wonderfalls.

Beth Grant, who showed up on Wonderfalls, Pushing Daisies, and even Mockingbird Lane. Muffin Buffalo!

Lee Pace, who seemed to get even taller at some point between Wonderfalls and Pushing Daisies and is also a dreamy dreamsicle.

Tracie Thoms, who is amazing and another Wonderfalls vet. (Maybe I would just like a full reunion of the entire Wonderfalls cast? That sounds good.)

Audrey Wasilewski, who played criminals on both Wonderfalls and Pushing Daisies, so would probably feel right at home here.



and more singing, please --- surely there could be singing during a dream/hallucination sequence or something? Please?
