He also chose to stand when we first see him, though the original actor playing Lector was sat down in Manhunter. He believed his anticipation of Clarice would intensify the tension. He was bang on.

Incredible craftsmanship. Like TMNT and so many other cartoons from the 80s, the intro was a work of art before CGI, AI or even Windows 95.

Kids today will never know how awesome this intro is.
