"Hannibal" Recruits The Hobbit Star Richard Armitage for Killer Role
by Michael Slezak
January 13, 2015
Richard Armitage has found a role into which he can really sink his teeth. The Hobbit actor will join NBC’s "Hannibal" in Season 3 in the terrifying role of Francis Dolarhyde (aka The Tooth Fairy).
The main villian of Thomas Harris’ Red Dragon, one book in the series on which "Hannibal" is based, the hulking Dolarhyde is a serial killer with a set of chompers that would make the Big Bad Wolf a little envious — and a penchant for targeting entire households for slaughter.
The role was previously played by Tom Noonan in Manhunter and Ralph Fiennes in Red Dragon. Both feature films were adapted from Harris' novel.
"Hannibal" will return to NBC’s schedule at midseason.
