Last season NBC’s Hannibal cleaned house….OK! so maybe the house isn’t as much clean as it is covered in blood and guts, but you get the idea. With most of the main characters dead or maimed and Dr. Lecter off to a new location, there is plenty of room for some new faces. Now the show’s developer has opened up about his dream cast, including Broadway legend Kristin Chenoweth, Guardians of the Galaxy’s Lee Pace and the one and only David Bowie.
You can expect some “Changes” in the upcoming season of Hannibal, and one them might just be the addition of David Bowie. Executive Producer Bryan Fuller has tried to cast the legendary singer/actor in the past. Recently Fuller spoke to Collider about not giving up on his dream cast:
“We were told by his people, when we got the pick-up for the third season, to make sure to ask again about his availability. So, once we have our dates, we are going to ask again. I think the man walks on water, so I would love to be in his orbit, in some way… He’s very aware [of the offer]. But he’s also very, very busy. He’s got lots of exciting things coming out, musically. That was the block to the second season. He’s incredibly busy.”
Fuller went on to offer a laundry list of people he would like to join the series:
“I’m a huge fan of David Thewlis. I would love him to come and play with us. And Brad Dourif. So, there is no shortage of people on that list that I’m desperate to get on the show”
Fuller is not a man who gives up easy. Just like with David Bowie, he is still pursuing a few more actors who have had to say no in the past, including Guardians of the Galaxy villain Lee Pace:
“I would love to get Kristin Chenoweth on this show. I would love to get Lee Pace. I would love to get Anna Friel. Those are all people that we’ve gone down roads with, to try to secure them in the past, but scheduling hasn’t worked out. But, I’m never going to stop trying.”
