Great actor

Sir Anthony Hopkins my all time favorite actor he never disappoints

:(Nancy E):
I could never watch it because I heard too much about it. I can’t get things like that out of my head, so I steer clear.

Lenny the Clam, I fully agree; he was awesome in that role. Some articles & interviews, following the film's release, quote cast & crew that Hopkins was so "into character" that he scared the crap out of them daily!

Colette
The brilliant Sir Anthony Hopkins. Such a lovely, humble man.

Taramaiden
what I find amusing is that in the film, he eats liver with a nice Chianti. The book however, pairs liver with Amarone (a much better choice!) but film makers found that too many Americans confused it with Amaretto ( di Saronno) which as you are all bound to know, is not appropriate at all!

Mr. Hopkins played well! I also loved him in 1978's Magic.

TJ SISTER

Fun guy,
I agree, but I bet he regretted turning it down after the accolades that the movie received (and the Oscar that he might have received)

:(Nancy E):, it was freaky. Nightmare city!!

Tony
Too many people idolize murderers. That's why this sick film made so much money. Having said that, I did enjoy watching it myself. Suspenseful and Hannibal was clever, just a total sicko.

CL53
One of my all time favourite movies!! In terms of a drama/thriller/crime movie it’s #1 in my book!

GEORGE
Fantastic film and brilliant actor.

Andy Traub Stewts

Sir Anthony Hopkins is a brilliant actor

Winning an Oscar for best actor - brilliant. He is only on screen for 16minutes! Just goes to show how powerful his performance was

Granny
In that film, Anthony Hopkins becomes Hannibal Lecter. The body moves, the eyes, even the breath is Hannibal Lecter.

AwesomeAnnie7
I guess I'm the only commenter who didn't like the movie and thus didn't find the acting "great". 🤷♀️
