The books have all been made into films, most notably the 1991 Silence of the Lambs starring Anthony Hopkins as the unforgettable Hannibal Lecter and Jodie Foster as Clarice Starling. Since the success of the film, adaptations of the other three in the series have also been made, with Ralph Fiennes as the cruel Francis Dolarhyde, known as The Red Dragon. More recently, a TV series based on the four books starred Mads Mikkelsen as Dr. Lecter and Hugh Dancy as Will Graham, running from 2013 to 2015.
