Danish actor Mads Mikkelsen seems like a fascinating human being, and whenever he opens his mouth, we are intrigued all the more. Mikkelsen, who is thankfully replacing Johnny Depp as Grindelwald in
Fantastic Beasts 3 and will join Harrison Ford in the next Indiana Jones installment, is on everyone’s radar these days. But one of his most memorable roles remains his turn as the title character on NBC’s late, lamented, elegant, bizarre, and super-intense
Hannibal series, which ran for three seasons between 2013 and 2015 before being unceremoniously canceled.
Hannibal was always a strange fit for a traditional TV network, sometimes immensely gory and disturbing, at other times highly sophisticated and stylish. All these disparate elements came together in Mikkelsen’s riveting performance, and his chemistry with Hugh Dancy’s FBI profiler Will Graham was electric. It turns out the actors thought so too.
