Superb Mason Verger


I love his acting in Hannibal as Mason Verger, very convincing and a great method actor to Gary Oldman's attempt in Hannibal movie.

His speech syntax and his whole persona was perfect.

I would love to see him in many more roles, a rare actor who can actually act. I stopped watching Empire Boardwalk because of his character being removed from it!

He does a terrific job because I despise Mason haha.

It took me a while to realise it was Michael Pitt - he does creepy very well. Although I can't believe this is the same guy who was lovely, sweet Henry Parker in Dawson's Creek!

Yes Boardwalk has lost its charm when he left

reply

Agreed, he is truly superb.

Michael's performance in Hannibal was unforgettable, as usual. It wasn't my favorite character, but he was the life of the party on screen.

A lot of people did; you didn't really miss much. I watched the series after he left...lets just say the charm/magic went along with him.

Seems like hes been replaced by joe anderson.

Do you happen to know why?

That was real? I saw that movie, I thought it was bullsh*t

reply

because he was making new movies in the times while season 3 of Hannibal had been shooting
