Eddie Izzard has nab a role.

'Hannibal' casts Eddie Izzard -- EXCLUSIVE

Eddie Izzard, meet Hannibal Lecter.

The Valkyrie and The Riches actor is coming to Bryan Fuller’s promising-sounding NBC thriller Hannibal in a guest-star role.

Izzard will play an inmate at the Baltimore State Hospital for the Criminally Insane — yes, the very same facility where Hannibal Lecter is eventually incarcerated. Izzard’s character is claiming to be “the infamous Chesapeake Ripper.”

You’ll recall that Izzard was recently on NBC in another Fuller project, starring as Grandpa Munster in Fuller’s Mockingbird Lane, which aired as a Halloween special last month. Previously announced Hannibal guest stars include Gina Torres, Molly Shannon, Ellen Greene and Chelan Simmons. There’s no premiere date yet for Hannibal, but we’re expecting a midseason release.

Gillian Anderson Joins NBC's Hannibal
BY KIMBERLY ROOTS

Special Agent Dana Scully is back on duty.

The X-Files‘ Gillian Anderson has joined the cast of NBC’s Hannibal, EW.com reports.

In a multi-episode arc, Anderson will play the personal therapist of the titular Dr. Lecter.

In the decade since X-Files wrapped, the actress has stayed away from American broadcast television, choosing instead to focus on projects like Encore’s Moby Dick and the British TV series The Fall.

Oh ****, son...

Exclusive: Hannibal Feasts on Lance Henriksen

Lance Henriksen is the latest sci-fi staple to pay a visit to Hannibal.

The Aliens thesp has been tapped to guest-star in an episode of NBC’s Bryan Fuller-produced drama, which is being billed as a contemporary take on the characters from Thomas Harris’ Red Dragon novel that focuses on the fledgling relationship between FBI agent Will Graham (Hugh Dancy) and Lecter (Mads Mikkelsen), his mentor.

NBC confirmed Henriksen’s casting but provided no details about his top-secret role.

Henriksen joins an impressive genre-drenched guest cast that includes X-Files vet Gillian Anderson, Firefly‘s Gina Torres and Wonderfalls’ Caroline Dhavernas.

NBC has yet to schedule a premiere date for Hannibal, but network president Robert Greenblatt told reporters last week that it “might” debut by the end of the season, but added it “could fit really nicely” in the summer.

Dat Henriksen.

Hannibal will have a field day with Dana Scully and Frank Black. They'll be wearing facepaint and red and black tights in no time.

Exclusive: Ellen Muth to Visit NBC's Hannibal
BY KIMBERLY ROOTS

A grim reaper is on her way to see Hannibal.

Ellen Muth, who played soul escort George on Dead Like Me, will guest-star in an episode of the forthcoming NBC drama, TVLine has learned exclusively.

Muth’s new character is named Georgia, a nod to her role on Dead Like Me, the Showtime series created by Hannibal writer and executive producer Bryan Fuller.

The upcoming serial killer drama, a contemporary take on the characters from Thomas Harris’ Red Dragon novel, focuses on the fledgling relationship between FBI agent Will Graham (Hugh Dancy) and Lecter, his mentor.

Muth is the latest Fuller alum to feast at Hannibal‘s table: Wonderfalls‘ Caroline Dhavernas and Chelan Simmons and Pushing Daisies’ Molly Shannon, Raul Esparza and Ellen Greene are already on board; so are The X-Files’ Gillian Anderson, Firefly‘s Gina Torres, The Matrix‘s Laurence Fishburne, Veep‘s Anna Chlumsky and Aliens‘ Lance Henriksen.

Hannibal doesn’t yet have a premiere date, but network president Robert Greenblatt recently said it might debut by the end of the season or sometime this summer.

Muth’s resume also includes Law & Order, Law & Order: SVU and the film Dolores Claiborne.

Goddammit, NBC, you give me a premiere date and you give it to me right the hell now!

Do No Harm bombed last night so we may be getting Hannibal real soon!

10:00 PM ABC Scandal 2.7 8 8.10
CBS Elementary 2.2 6 10.80
NBC Do No Harm 0.9 3 3.13

Now it didn't exactly have great lead ins with the 30 Rock finale and an hour of The Office but it wasn't anywhere near the The Office's 1.9.
Maybe this show gets another week but this show is toast and NBC is hoping The Voice and Revolution come back with decent numbers.

No clue why NBC thought this would be better than Hannibal. The name recognition alone would get better numbers.

Dual personalities or worlds just don't work on NBC.

Love it!

Mark Your Calendars: Thursday, April 4th, 10 PM

It is going up against Scandal, but it would be going up against anything anyway, so...

 

[Shifty]

Good to see it on the schedule, it will have a terrible lead in but hopefully enough people will still tune in to keep it around for a second season.

 

[Sawyer]

I just hope NBC doesn't half-ass the promotion between now and April.

 

[Shifty]

They've got to go all out after the failures they've had this year.

 

[steintym]

This sounds so cool. I had no idea about this show. Adding it to my viewing list for sure.
