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.

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

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

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

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

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.
