Hopkins reveals who Hannibal Lector is based on

Anthony Hopkins says he based his portrayal of Hannibal Lecter on Royal Academy acting teacher Christopher Fettes, who “would just take you apart intellectually. He’d just smirk, and he’d say, ‘No. Do it again.’ ‘” In this interview, Hopkins and co-star Jodie Foster share their memories of “Silence of the Lambs” on its 30th anniversary.
