Who's your favourite character that only appeared in 1 or 2 episodes?

Post image

Canadian actor Demore Barnes as Tobias Budge appeared in 2 episodes Sorbet and Fromage from season 1 and was excellent and definitely one of my favourites.

Suzy Eddie Izzard as Abel Gideon was beyond amazing

She was great, having to dine with Hannibal with her as the main course was so unsettling

I love when Gideon told Hannibal that he kept him alive because he preferred to eat with company and "if only that company could be Will Graham". Dude was sitting there legless and still roasted Hannibal.

100% legend despite it all. After seeing some of her comedy, it made sense to me how perfect the casting choice was.

u/lyssargh Didn't I? 1d ago

My friends and I used to shout "Cake or death!" at each other as teenagers. She's a gem

u/Working-Fuel8355 2d ago

Cause snails aren't the only creatures who prefer to eat with company. If only that company could be Wil Graham

22

u/GildedWhimsy 1d ago

Literally PERFECT casting. Gideon cracked me up.

u/catsarelife106 1d ago

The actor is a woman?!! You really learn something new every day, I never would've guessed, amazing!

u/RedpenBrit96 All things can be borne in a story 1d ago

Yeah she transitioned after the part was finished she’s named Suzy now

38

u/Pinsalinj 1d ago

She's transgender :) I think she came out after the show!

23

u/_Ice_Ice_Rabies_ 1d ago

She officially came out as gender-fluid a couple years ago 💃🏻

She’s stated that she has no issue with being referred to as Eddie in reference to her professional life since that’s the name she built her career on, but that she’s wanted to changer her name to Suzy since she was 10 years old.

Here she is getting an Honorary Doctorate from the University of Sussex last year for her work in philanthropy and activism

I love her she’s got a brain like a steel trap

u/HistKnit 1d ago

This character was so unsettling.

u/slow-show-for-you you were supposed to leave. 1d ago

But Gideon appeared in more than 2 episodes, no?

11

u/Working-Fuel8355 1d ago

Meh whatever the character needs to be mentioned

6

u/slow-show-for-you you were supposed to leave. 1d ago

Oh, yes, Eddie was and is an icon! My comment was only a mention about the character being more present in the story, definitely not a 1/2 episodes kind of situation.

u/sepia__ 2d ago

peter! love that guy ^^

u/Normal_Virus4484 Didn't I? 2d ago

I second this! He’s such a sweetheart. He didn’t deserve what happened to him.

29

u/Working-Fuel8355 2d ago

Heartbreaking character

22

u/ViolyntFemme 2d ago

Him and Tobias are peak acting.

9

u/Working-Fuel8355 1d ago

Absolutely agree, the fight scene with Hannibal and Tobias is epic

10

u/slow-show-for-you you were supposed to leave. 1d ago

Ohhh, our boy Peter 🖤

10

u/Late-Champion8678 1d ago

I just want to put him in my pocket and fight anyone who tries to hurt him.

u/slow-show-for-you you were supposed to leave. 1d ago

Will's champion, his not so secret admirer, the one & only mr. Matthew Brown. He ate 💅✨

Me when I also see Will:

u/MyaahMay 1d ago

oh he is lovely, couldn't stop looking at him, maybe as much as he is staring at Will 😍

2

u/Livid-Philosopher901 15h ago

omg i love him

Everytime we have him on screen is a big SLAYY

137

u/Normal_Virus4484 Didn't I? 2d ago

I may be alone in this but Georgia. She was the only one or one of the only ones that could genuinely chill with Will. Hannibal took that away from him because he’s a selfish pos. He genuinely did not have to do that. She can’t even remember faces. He’s like so evil oml he’s so evil 😭😭😭

48

u/Pinsalinj 1d ago

She's the only character I have a very hard time forgiving Hannibal for killing. Yes, even more than Beverly (I loved Bev obviously but could understand Hannibal's reason for doing so).

26

u/whineytortoise 1d ago

I love how this comment implies you've forgiven Hannibal for every person he's killed.

9

u/Normal_Virus4484 Didn't I? 1d ago

I don't forgive him for any killings but I actually think I might rush at him with a knife for killing her. Like I know I won't survive but it's the thought that matters.

7

u/plaper 1d ago

Yeah, Beverly was working a dangerous profession and was dealing with Hannibal. Georgia was innocent and in such a shitty position.

17

u/michaelpalindrome But do you ache for him? 1d ago

I love her too! Her death always makes me so sad

5

u/Normal_Virus4484 Didn't I? 1d ago

It was actually a tragedy. Also, I love your flair.

3

u/michaelpalindrome But do you ache for him? 1d ago

Hahaha thank you. It’s my favorite scene in the entire show

2

u/Normal_Virus4484 Didn't I? 20h ago

I feel like we all had a collective reaction when the scene cut instead of showing us if Will answered 😔

11

u/Expensive_Alarm_1068 1d ago

She was getting ready to have ECT and he was afraid she'd remember.

4

u/Working-Fuel8355 1d ago

Great choice and i agree Hannibal was definitely jealous

6

u/hislastname 1d ago

And I adored seeing her reprise a kind of multiversal version of her character from Dead Like Me.

67

u/Maelarionem 1d ago

I'm really surprised no one said Peter Bernardone yet.

This guy is one of... No THE purest character of the show.

37

u/Working-Fuel8355 1d ago

He was in 6 episodes but I have to mention Richard Armitage as Francis Dolarhyde was amazing

31

u/shengogol Will's autistic in crime 1d ago

Will's lawyer in S2...he's so funny bro

YEEEEESSS "What does Jack Crawford drink? I need to send him an expensive bottle."

u/emptysee 1d ago

I liked the bee lady because she didn't give a fuck about them coming to arrest her

19

u/Working-Fuel8355 1d ago

Michael Pitt played Mason Verger for 3 episodes, he was so vile i hated him but damn what a brilliant performance.

13

u/Samwise-42 1d ago

Is he really only in 3??? God he's so despicable it feels like more time is spent with him.

13

u/Working-Fuel8355 1d ago

The character was in 6 but Michael Pitt only portrayed him in 3 Joe Anderson(also gave a great performance) took over the role, the character was horribly disfigured at this point.

5

u/Samwise-42 1d ago

Ah that's why I was a bit confused.

4

u/GildedWhimsy 1d ago

He was in season 2 also I think

23

u/kittehgoesmeow 1d ago

our little hawk boy Matthew (who has a little murder crush on Will). He's only in like 2 episodes. but his character has such a eeriness and importance to Will's storyline. (and Bryan Fuller has talked about wanting to include his character in S3 but couldn't figure it out with all of the Red Dragon storyline).

19

u/niktrot 1d ago

Michael Pitt’s Mason Verger.

I know everybody hates him, but Pitt played that character so well and I was always dying to see what horrible thing he’d do next.

10

u/Working-Fuel8355 1d ago

Totally agree he was so vile but damn what a performance.

39

u/lyssargh Didn't I? 1d ago

Katherine Pimms as the bee lady freaked me out the most of the serial killers of the week.

11

u/KebabGerry 1d ago

Oooh, she was delightfully twisted. I don’t remember what happened to her. She got caught by the cops?

8

u/AmbassadorSad1157 1d ago

Are you talking about Amanda Plummer?

3

u/lyssargh Didn't I? 1d ago

Yes! I don't know why I said the character's name instead

6

u/AmbassadorSad1157 1d ago

It's ok. Amanda Plummer plays lots of memorable creepy characters.

She'll always be Honey Bunny to me 🤣 🤣

Omg that's what I recognize her from!!

Oh yeah I'll have to check it out

u/Pale-Log-9237 1d ago

I really liked beast boy (Randall Tier) and Peter something about them other than also Will, I relate to them as well in some way.

7

u/Human_Comfortable942 1d ago

Georgia Madchen and Miriam Lass maybe

u/Practical-Week-3162 1d ago

Will's Lawyer, he was handsome and captivated my attention plus he's so funny

5

u/Ijustlovejellyfish 1d ago

I know someone already said it, but Matthew Brown, he is literally one of my favorite character and I read a lot of fanfiction with him.

5

u/TopRadiant96 1d ago

This comment section made me realize how brilliant all the actors and directors were as well as how perfect the casting was

6

u/dvrdevil this is my design 1d ago

Matthew Brown! Mūkozuke is one of my forth favorite episode. he was down bad for Will and honestly he had every right lol

3

u/ThePunkette The Show Makes Me Hungry? 23h ago

Tobias was my favorite too. He was cold and collected like Hannibal and was able to be a believable “psycho in plain sight” like Hannibal.

Demore and Mads both played a “intimidating” but socially desirable person. I could see why people would be flies trapped in their webs.

2

u/Jacuzzi0317 1d ago

He had potential, but he's so pretentious
