The Hannibal TV series already has quite an impressive list of recurring and guest actors, including Laurence Fishburne, Mad Mikkelsen, Gillian Anderson, and Eddie Izzard. However, the show continues to add new guest stars and it has been revealed that Lance Henriksen will appear on the show.

Other actors who will be appearing on the show include Eddie Izzard, Gillian Anderson, Gina Torres, Molly Shannon, Ellen Greene and Chelan Simmons.
