* [[Enforced Method Acting]]:
** [[Anthony Hopkins]] deliberately provoked [[Jodie Foster]] off-camera by mocking her rendition of a West Virginia accent, which helped her convey Clarice's outrage when Hannibal taunted her for hiding her ''in-character'' accent.
** And taken [[Up to Eleven]] by [[John Douglas]], whom the character of Jack Crawford was modeled on: Scott Glenn consulted Douglas as part of research. Douglas played him tapes of a young teenager being tortured by serial killers Lawrence Bittaker and Roy Norris; Glenn left the office in tears. He refused to take the role in the sequel as a result.
** When filming phonecalls, it is standard practice to film both sides separately and have the actors pretend they're having a phone call. At the end of ''Silence'' they hooked up the phone to the phone network and had Hopkins call from the set of another movie across the country. When Jodie Foster picks up the phone and Hopkins speaks back to her the look of surprise on her face is genuine.
* [[Executive Meddling]]: There was not going to be ''Hannibal Rising'' except execs told Harris someone else would write the book if he refused.
* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]: [[Monk|Captain Stottlemeyer]] is gonna {{spoiler|skin you and make a woman suit out of you}}. Also, he's a dad in ''[[The Hills Have Eyes]]'' remake. And the hero of ''[[The Mangler (film)|The Mangler]]''.
** That crazy team leader from ''Vertical Limit'' is Jack Crawford?? Or wait a minute, am I thinking of Donald Rumsfeld from Oliver Stone's ''W''?
