Jared Harris scared the hell out of me last night!
The actor who plays Lane price portrayed a charismatic and very slick serial killer who developed a cult following (literally) while in prison. Pryce prides himself on being an actor rather than a movie star and you could really see it in that role: he was unnervingly creepy. I guess the obvious comparison would be to Hannibal Lector but I the performance reminded me more of Brian Cox portrayal of Hannibal in Michael Mann's 80's 'Manhunter' (one "n" in the movie), which is a version of the novel 'Red Dragon'. It is also quite good and shouldn't be overlooked because of the success of the Oscar winning movie. Where Hopkins mad doctor had an almost imperial bearing Cox and Pryce took on much more subtle façade only to show their true natures later.
William Petersen is also in "Manunter" and does an extraordinary job paying the criminal profiler who worked with Hannibal before Clarice Starling - the movie is really about his character. This was when Peterson could act even without benefit of sunglasses.
