in a similar vibe, i would have actually preferred pesci to de niro

If Hannibal was supposed to be from Brooklyn, De Niro would be the go-to guy

i think he would have been fine and would have played hannibal more charming that creepy.
sean wouldn't have taken the role because he wouldn't have understood it.
the only actor i've heard of who i'm glad he turned down that role would be deniro.

Silence of the Lambs was beneath his lofty standards anyway

Praise the Lord Connery turned the part down. He would have been terribly wrong for it.

Nahhh AH was perfect.
Ho Ho Ho

She was a bit too much of a grown woman by then to be playing a rookie.
Jodie's about the same age, but she seemed younger.

I'm sure they both do Toasted
But, before something is made it's all up in the air

Perhaps, but I wonder if both Connery and Michelle Pfeiffer regret turning down Lambs.
It works just fine as it is, yet Demme apparently wanted Pfeiffer for Clarice but she didn't want to do it due to the dark subject matter. She then did a dark take on Catwoman a year later and gave one of her best performances.
Norman! What did you put in my tea?

I agree that Hopkins is a much stronger performer across a variety of roles and that he easily bests Connery's attempts at a role like Lecter
But, going on accent alone, we are looking at a mid-Atlantic accent with a Lithuanian lilt, I'm sure Sir Sean could pass for that

Hopkin’s film is pop culture. Cox’s take is a minor cult film.
No, Connery wasn’t the actor that Hopkins is. Not that Connery wasn’t a commanding presence as an actor, he had his limitations. Like I mentioned, he couldn’t even act with an Irish accent. He just played the role as himself in The Untouchables.
In a year with much better support performances, Connery was middling at best.

A mid-Atlantic accent with a Lithuanian lilt?
Nobody found issue with Brian Cox or Mads Mikkelsen
Gaspard Ulliel got a bit of a ribbing for his French portrayal I suppose, but only when compared to Anthony Hopkins take
The big question is, could Sean Connery have portrayed him as well as Hopkins?
To that I'd say no

I'm pretty sure Connery's accent was both scottish and scotch

‘scotch accent’

It’s clearly a scotch accent you dumb Ameri****

Cox played him with an English accent ya dumb **** ‍️

Hopkins, didn’t. The point was, could Connery have done any accent at all, except his own?
Norman! What did you put in my tea?

And your point is?
Norman! What did you put in my tea?

Brian Cox played Lecter/Lector, and with a Scottish accent to boot

Could he have done the accent? Connery couldn’t even do Irish for the undeserved Oscar he won for The Untouchables.
