In the movie Hannibal, Dr. Hannibal Lecter was played by Mads Mikkelsen in a smooth, chilling tone with elegance and menace. However, off-screen, Mikkelsen's Danish accent and casual demeanor are a far cry from his most famous roles. He is known for playing enigmatic villains, and Mikkelsen has a knack for transforming his voice to suit his characters' complexities. In his most recent stint as Gellert Grindelwald in Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore, he played much more understatedly, yet his use of vocal timbre was equally riveting.
