* There are a lot of similarities between Will Graham from ''Series/{{Hannibal}}'' and the younger Professor X in ''Film/XMenFirstClass'' and ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast''. Will's "pure empathy" is not unlike Charles' mind-reading power (and since Will's brain contains an abnormally high number of mirror neurons, this would make him a genetic mutant), their BlessedWithSuck "gift" can cause them a tremendous amount of agony, and they're both tormented by a love-hate, emotionally intimate, homoerotic friendship with a violent man of equal intelligence who has physically harmed them (Lecter for Graham, Magneto for Xavier). Both characters are dedicated to saving the lives of others, but occasionally their actions are morally questionable. In terms of their altruism, Will takes care of numerous stray dogs, while Professor X provides shelter and education to runaway mutants. As a bonus, Hugh Dancy looks somewhat like Creator/JamesMcAvoy (both actors are brown-and-wavy-haired, blue-eyed and possess PrettyBoy-like features), so after ''Series/{{Hannibal}}'''s debut, Dancy became a very popular fan casting choice for Brian Xavier should the film series ever decide to show Charles' father in a flashback.
