Dreary dinner...ice storm...a long night at the Dolarhyde's
This was one of those shoots: a cold dark Toronto night. Gobs of food to schlepp – tons of dishware to fill. The set looked musty and dusty. The food looked worse. The extras holding area was set up facing my cooking station. So the actors who were playing the seniors at the dinner slumped in these chairs between takes and watched our every move as if they were front row at a tedious avante-garde play. Victoria, my assistant and I worked the whole night under the unamused glare of 16 glazed, bored, crabby eyes. The only break we got was an unexpected power failure when the entire building was plunged into darkness and everyone had to file out to the winter night. The crew moved on and shot the bus stop scene outside while we lounged in the craft truck waiting for the lights to come back on indoors.

On the plus side, it was my first time on set with Richard Armitage who is thoroughly charming and courteous. As well as the sweet actor who played Granny Dolaryde who was warm and bubbling with youthful exuberance until she was on camera and transformed instantly to a hollow-eyed evil harpy.

Thanks for the link! I love Esparza's singing and always thought we really needed a Hannibal musical episode - everyone on the show can sing or dance - Hugh has the sweetest voice and Armitage can really sing. Well everyone on the original Star Trek cut an album, so why not!

This is Dolarhyde's episode so there is no food for me to serve up this week - the only thing he eats is the Blake painting. Stephen Levitt, our intrepid props master, sourced edible rice paper from a company in Buffalo, New York. He had to drive to Niagara Falls to get the blank paper then have it printed in Toronto with edible ink on an inkjet printer. When we shot the scene, Richard Armitage wanted to get it perfect so he ate a real paper print as well. And that's why we love him.

When the stars threw down their spears
And water'd heaven with their tears:
Did he smile his work to see?
Did he who made the Lamb make thee?

Well, did he, Hannibal?

Next week: Just hide under the bed and scream yourself to sleep...

Außerdem sagt sie noch in den comments: Hat er am Set gesungen? Oder woher weiß sie das?

Of course rest of this season is all about the Red Dragon. And although he has the teeth to chew his way through anything I could concoct, I am sad to say he’s more into tattoos than tasty treats. So I give up. Here’s a lovely picture of his robe – since I know you were inspecting it closely and annoyed that he dropped it to reveal his muscled inked posterior.

For those of you who would like a closer look. (Hey, eyes, my robe is up here ^)


Robeless Red Dragon

By the way, I can see why Richard Armitage has such a loyal fan base. Not only is he a gifted and dedicated actor, he is a wonderful man. All the crew adored him - especially Hair Department's - talented Karola Dirnberger and Make-up's sweet Katie Brennan. (Hello: daily tattoo application/removal)

ProTip: for a modest fee, @RCArmitage can fix your phone & internet connection

@RA_Central @ide_cyan @BryanFuller @RCArmitage The whole crew loved working with Richard. Full of awe and respect for his formidable talent.

Viel Lob für Richard- einzelne Szenen werden genau besprochen. Die Martiniglas-Szene hätten die Zensoren fast nicht durchgehen lassen, anscheinend hat Bryan Fuller dafür gekämpft.
Mich wundert das bei den Amerikanern sowieso immer- Gewalt zu zeigen ist o.k.- aber wehe, etwas ist zu sexy... dann kommt die Zensurkeule.

I approve of Richard Armitage in figure hugging pants. I know it’s supposed to be scary but wowsers! #Hannibal

@daleaaron81 Yeah he’s a great actor. Bit wasted in some roles. But pants apart, he’s delivering some next level shit as Red Dragon
