Tennant as Hannibal Lecter is an undeniably enticing idea, but it probably worked out best for everyone involved.
David Tennant nearly made the leap from Doctor Who to Doctor Lecter.
Tennant, of course, became wildly popular for his portrayal of the Tenth Doctor on Doctor Who from 2006 to 2010.
In an interview with EW promoting his new film Bad Samaritan, Tennant reveals he almost portrayed Hannibal Lecter on NBC’s 2013 reboot of the infamous cannibal serial killer.
