Anthony Hopkins improvised Hannibal making fun of Clarice’s accent in The Silence of the Lambs.
Fans of TV's Hannibal series may advocate for Mads Mikkelsen's portrayal, but when people hear the name Hannibal Lecter, they think of one performance in particular: Sir Anthony Hopkins in The Silence of the Lambs. It was the role that won Hopkins the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor despite his mere 16 minutes of screen time.
Hannibal Making Fun of Clarice Wasn't in 'Silence of the Lambs' Script So much of The Silence of the Lambs is iconic by now, with lighting-in-a-bottle details burned into the zeitgeist. It's hard to imagine that so many of those moments were not intricately planned. In her Masterclass episode, "Jodie Foster Teaches Filmmaking," the actor-director recalls specific moments from her own career to relate to the lessons learned throughout her development.
His unpredictability, as fueled by his improvisation, contributes to the character's fear factor. It's techniques and charatcer quirks like these that likely led to the awards' success with the film. To this day, The Silence of the Lambs still remains the only horror film to win the coveted Best Picture award at the Oscars. It would go on to inspire a sequel, two prequels, and the previously mentioned NBC television series from Bryan Fuller called Hannibal.
