NBCOne of the characters most transformed in Thomas Harris’ novels, the Hannibal Lecter films, and Bryan Fuller’s Hannibal series is Frederick Chilton, administrator of the Baltimore State Hospital for the Criminally Insane. In The Silence of the Lambs, he’s a preening, arrogant overseer who hits on Clarice Starling, and is the object of Hannibal’s final line in the film, “I’m having an old friend for dinner.” But as played by Raul Esparza on Hannibal, he’s given both a depth of manicured, jealous boorishness and a history of systematic torture and disfigurement to fuel his inferiority complex. When he was first introduced, it was as a failed surgeon who accidentally killed a patient before switching to psychiatry. Chilton was then tortured and had a kidney removed by Abel Gideon (Eddie Izzard) in the first season, framed and attacked by Hannibal and shot in the face by Miriam Lass (Anna Chlumsky) in the second, and in Saturday’s “The Number Of The Beast Is 666,” Chilton was burned beyond recognition after Francis Dolarhyde (Richard Armitage) bites both of his lips off and sends them to Hannibal (Mads Mikkelsen). Dolarhyde biting Chilton’s lips is at least as gruesome as Hannibal and Will Graham (Hugh Dancy) watching Mason Verger (Joe Anderson) cut off his own face last season, but Chilton has endured so many acts of violence that it’s impossible not to feel sympathy as he deludes himself into believing he’s on the same intellectual level as any of the other characters. One can only hope his graphic punching-bag status is finally over.
