Mads decided to join the cast of the upcoming Silence of the Lambs prequel TV show playing Dr. Hannibal Lecter.

hadn't googled it yet so thanks for the info Tom. I don't have TV service so I know nothing about this series but that's great to see him on American TV on a regular basis.

Yep. Destro will always being a hulking white guy with a silver mask and black dude's voice.

Change silver to black and you've got a great Darth Vader description.

I love Eccleston but I hate the fact that everyone on social media is posting "Doctor Who is in Thor 2!" Mainly because he was famous before and after Doctor Who but also because there is no Doctor Who, the character's name is The Doctor.

He is intense, I'm glad to see him in the Marvel U but Thor 2 is probably the one I'm looking the least forward to.

So rather than possibly owning his own iconic villain he passed in favor of living in the shadow of Anthony Hopkins on a *television* show? Crazy.

Maybe he was looking for longer term employment and income.

I'll be surprised if the show makes it through the first season before getting the axe.

 

[The Mike]

Who has the show? If it's on NBC or FOX it might not even make it out of the first four episodes.

 

[tomandshell]

It's going to be on NBC.

 

[thenammagazine]

It's going to be on NBC.

Produced by Lifetime. So it might be on both? That should win over the middle-aged woman demographic.

One more OT Mads question. How would you rate him as a Bond villain?

Not the best but not the worst.

I love Mads.

 

[tomandshell]

I thought he was great in Casino Royale. Better than the villain in QoS. Not over the top to the point of being ridiculous, not so goofy that he isn't threatening. Few Bond villains got to torture 007 like that. I am bummed that he won't be in Thor 2, but Eccleston isn't a bad replacement.

 

[jye4ever]

I was so stoked for Mads to slap Thor's nuts, dammit.

The whole torture scene in CR was great. "I've got an itch down there, do you mind?"

 

[Khev]

So he's the leader of the "Dark Elves?" Can we assume that Thor will go do battle against an entire world of angry Legolas's?

Oh man that show was over before it even started.
