So true, lol!! I was thinking that the whole time watching season 2. Mason Verger (mainly Michael Pitt in S2) was by *FAR* the creepiest psycho out of all of them. He drinks martinis made of children's tears for fuck's sake! Lol😨😱💀
@@Iamnotabug That's the only moral improvement between him in the book/film and him in this series (at least I don't think the show's version was a sexual predator towards children), but he still gets off on bullying kids.
He raped her is what actually happened within the book hannibal all of this is loosely based around just like will is suppose to be starling when he tries feeding hannibal to the pigs
Michael Pitt is possibly the most underrated actor of his generation, or at least one of the most underrated in film over the past decade. He consistently gives strong, unique performances.
Verger: “I torture people and use their tears to flavor my martinis.” Hannibal: “Hold my beer aged in Cabernet Sauvignon barrels and flavored with human in some undisclosed capacity.”
I disagree Mason is way worse than Hannibal in every way he is a true sadist even Hannibal would never molest, torment kids his own family or torture animals Mason's a piece of shit
3:32, when he mentions the children, Hannibal turns his head and you can read "I will kill slowly, painfully and ensure that I enjoy every second of it." A consistent trait with Hannibal has always been his sympathy for children so Mason is a dead man when he says that he got away with abusing children.
So disappointed they replaced Pitt in the role. I know they can get away with it now that his face is messed up, but I absolutely love what he did with the character.
Woah, I didn't even know they changed him. I could tell he was distinctly different in the third season, but I thought it was just his character's demeanor changing.
I was pretty pissed when I heard Pitt wasn't returning for season 3. He was amazing as Verger and really brought some much needed dark humour to a really intense season.
Gosh girl,I just tweeted that about him before coming here. guess us fanboys/girls think alike. (ps. this video should have had that 'psychedelic' scene, that one was priceless too)
"I'm hungry." "Eat your nose then." "I'm full of myself!" This is the only show where people get to say things like, "Is your social worker in that horse?" Or, "Eat your nose", and people actually get it. XD
Michael Pitt is actually an amazingly talented actor. Unfortunately, he has a lot of personal problems. He could have been a *huge* star if he wanted to and was well on his way after Boardwalk Empire. But he stepped on a lot of toes and burned a lot of bridges. It’s also very rare you see him doing any sort of publicity for his movies or projects which is how you have to play the game if you want to be successful. Even Joaquin Phoenix, who notoriously hates the publicity tours, sucks it up and promotes his projects which is why he is where he is now. But unfortunately for us, Pitt just doesn’t have it in him to do that. He could have easily played a character like Joker if he really wanted to. But when you have demons in your personal life as bad as Pitt does, it’s nearly impossible to break out and “play the Hollywood game” Its our loss really. Just working 4 days on the Hannibal set proved very hard for him
like someone said on Twitter, Pitt could be the only actor, ever, to look at a Gary Oldman performance, and say, "Nah, I could go bigger!" top performance
Oldman's Verger IS rather disturbing, especially in the scene, where he reveals what he has in store for Hannibal, as revenge. That "tarTAR" always sends shivers down my spine. And I think, that Gary Oldman did the job so well, since he had to have this mega makeup on, and STILL be able to make Verger a person, who you'd NEVER want to meet.
"What is your secret?!" The way Michael Pitt delivered that line made me think of Heath Ledger Joker. Everything he says actually when I think about it.
I think this guy is the most despicable character out of the entire Hannibal universe. Masterfully written as someone everyone hates for one reason or another. It's hard to create a character this disgustingly real, and I applaud the original creator of the Hannibal novels for his brilliant portrayal of a genuinely horrible, sorry excuse for a human being like Mason Verger.
One of my greatest 'criticisms' of the entire Hannibal show is that we didn't get to see more of pre-mutilated/disabled Mason Verger played absolutely perfectly by Michael Pitt! This was one of the most interesting and expertly portrayed villains I've seen in a long time, and it absolutely sucked that he got such a tiny amount of screen time. Joe Anderson was perfectly fine as a mutilated/disabled Mason Verger in season 3, but there's only so much you can do with a bed-ridden/electric wheelchair bound villain with a heavy speech impediment. Someone like that needs other people to do everything for them and that's just not the same as the autonomous healthy Mason who I wish we got WAY more time with!
I like how Pitt modeled his performance from Oldman's in Hannibal. It's cool that the show gave some respects to the films every now and then. Especially Hannibal (2001), which is criminally underrated.
During his sessions with Dr. Lector, even the doctor himself seemed shocked at Mason's admissions. That's really saying something for Hannibal to be shocked at anything with all he has seen, heard and done.
It's too bad the actor was replaced. He did a difficult and excellent job of making an absurd character believable and creepy. I hear he's a pain in the ass, but he does great work.
Oh, God. I close my eyes and it's like Ramsey Snow talking. Their voices are so much alike, and of course, the fact that both are sadistic psychopaths. Daaaamn
Oh Thank you for this. ... This show presented characters with a different of psychological issues labelled as psychopaths but Mason Verger is 'The Psychopath' ... That is pure evil. Hannibal Lecter is a saint.
I've watched almost every other movie that Michael Pitt is in and every time I watch this I honestly don't believe it's Michael. He's that good of an actor, I can't even see the real person in there at all. He's a genius.
Mannn I really wish they kept that actor for season 3. He was charismatic and enigmatic in the worst and most despicable way so that he wasn’t a “likeable” villain but was incredibly entertaining to watch.
Michael Pitt would make a fantastic Hobgoblin in Spider-Man. He’s got the style of Roderick Kingsley and the ability to go from normal to batshit crazy.
gloomyharlow I love that show, but not just because of him! I have always been a huge fan of gangster genre, and even if I werent, it's still a great show! But, you're right about MP! He's sorely missed!
Michael Pitt was the perfect actor to play Mason, too bad he quit (he has had a history of being hard to work with) I hope Joe Anderson is just as good.
Mason Verger is the best/ worst thing about this show IMO, they've clearly chosen not to go into too much detail re the kids that 'would do anything for a candy bar', I can understand why that might be a necessary omission, but he's still mad as a box of frogs & I can relate to him as the younger version of Gary Oldman's portrayal..not so convinced by the other character changes tho, Margot was a lesbian yeah, but she was infertile because of steroid abuse & wanted an heir with her lover using Mason as an unwilling donor, sleeping with Will Graham to get his sperms then having her left infertile by Mason's doctors...?! Not sure....
Big fan of that “anything for a chocolate bar” line, in don’t remember if it was in the book but both pitt and oldman say it in their respective preformances and i find its such a succinct way of letting you know just how evil he is
![[ASMR] hannibal lecter cooking](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/lOIZmoOhJik/mqdefault.jpg)
mason verger is the character who made even doctor lecter uncomfortable
true
So true, lol!! I was thinking that the whole time watching season 2. Mason Verger (mainly Michael Pitt in S2) was by *FAR* the creepiest psycho out of all of them. He drinks martinis made of children's tears for fuck's sake! Lol😨😱💀
Yes 😰😰
The original was a pedophile, and that’s why Hannibal made him eat his own face. “To show the ugliness on his inside, on the outside.”
@@Iamnotabug That's the only moral improvement between him in the book/film and him in this series (at least I don't think the show's version was a sexual predator towards children), but he still gets off on bullying kids.
You just know Mason was one of those kids that must have killed all of Margot's pets. And made it look like accidents.
Awful but probably true
He raped her is what actually happened within the book hannibal all of this is loosely based around just like will is suppose to be starling when he tries feeding hannibal to the pigs
He was never told no
Michael Pitt is possibly the most underrated actor of his generation, or at least one of the most underrated in film over the past decade. He consistently gives strong, unique performances.
I know, I desperately wish he could have stayed with the part until the end
@@Jms-mx8to I heard that he was very conflictive to work with, that's why was fired and a second actor takes his role
@Resterminador Yeah, it sounds like Larry Clark really hated working with him too.
This is what you call underrated, pleb?!?
Mediocre at best.
I feel he doesn't get the acclaim he deserves either
Verger: “I torture people and use their tears to flavor my martinis.”
Hannibal: “Hold my beer aged in Cabernet Sauvignon barrels and flavored with human in some undisclosed capacity.”
I disagree Mason is way worse than Hannibal in every way he is a true sadist even Hannibal would never molest, torment kids his own family or torture animals Mason's a piece of shit
The mega-psychos' version of comparing cars! 😄👍 You're funny.
3:32, when he mentions the children, Hannibal turns his head and you can read "I will kill slowly, painfully and ensure that I enjoy every second of it." A consistent trait with Hannibal has always been his sympathy for children so Mason is a dead man when he says that he got away with abusing children.
Probably reminds him of Mischa.....
He was very sympathetic of that child on the plane who he fed a piece of brain to.
Yawg moth
Wasn't that in the movies
Yup
Absolutely . Actually he left him alive so he’d suffer
So disappointed they replaced Pitt in the role. I know they can get away with it now that his face is messed up, but I absolutely love what he did with the character.
He was doing that other thing origins
Woah, I didn't even know they changed him. I could tell he was distinctly different in the third season, but I thought it was just his character's demeanor changing.
He didn’t want to do the role anymore
Oh absolutely I agree. He was wonderfully evil. It’s my understanding that he was too much of a dickhead to work with, ditto for boardwalk empire.
@@emilymathews7073 Yeah I heard Pitt was horrible to work with
I was pretty pissed when I heard Pitt wasn't returning for season 3. He was amazing as Verger and really brought some much needed dark humour to a really intense season.
You missed the best part where he feeds Will's dogs and becomes full of him self.
Yeah I actually made this the day that episode aired... So I'll probably make a new version with all the awesome Mason from 2x12.
Mason Verger looks like an evil version of John or Hank Green.
well now I'll never get that image out of my head
Mission accomplished.
Oh my god
Who are they ?
@@BlackangelKatakuri Brothers, John wrote the fault in our stars and Hank is very scienc-ey. They both have YT Channel, Johnschannel and Hankschannel
Michael Pitt's acting is so amazing. I really hope he gets more recognition.
He would make a perfect Joker. He’s straight out of Batman: Endgame.
He was great in Bully
Michael Pitt is fucking brilliant.
is a the best
Best character in Boardwalk Empire!
I didn't even recognize him until I looked him up and shocked that it was him. He really disappears into the role
He would make a perfect Joker
That's exactly how I felt when I saw this scene
funny i was thinking the exact same thing!
And we all know how HE got his scars lol
Gosh girl,I just tweeted that about him before coming here. guess us fanboys/girls think alike. (ps. this video should have had that 'psychedelic' scene, that one was priceless too)
According to Bryan Fuller, that was the idea. xD
The new actor seems to be doing a pretty great job in getting the tone of voice and speech mannerisms right
Making Mason goofy was a good balance for all the seriousness in the show already
"I'm hungry."
"Eat your nose then."
"I'm full of myself!"
This is the only show where people get to say things like, "Is your social worker in that horse?" Or, "Eat your nose", and people actually get it. XD
HAVE A CHOCOLATE
I bet the chocolate has, like, hot peppers in it.

Where is the evidence? I keep hearing he's hard to work with but no one gives examples. I really think he's great I wanna see him in more stuff :(
“He could play the joker” 🙄 I’ll never understand why everyone likes to give this “compliment” to actors
@@jims7383 I agree. Just because an actor laughs or a has a big smile doesn't mean they can follow in Nicholson's footsteps.
And this little piggy went EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
all the way HOME
I wonder how she was able to go through that without laughing
@@autumnwinters9366 I would have been dying
Margot having a Bloom has a new meaning thanks to Dolce.
Mason says "Riding agrees with you"
I don't think enough people realize how jaw-droppingly brilliant an actor Michael Pitt is.
Damn, Pitt is such an incredible actor. Criminally underrated. I love how weird and bold his performance as Mason is.
like someone said on Twitter, Pitt could be the only actor, ever, to look at a Gary Oldman performance, and say, "Nah, I could go bigger!"
top performance
Benjamin Jack Kata Finau bigger, but not better.
Oldman's Verger IS rather disturbing, especially in the scene, where he reveals what he has in store for Hannibal, as revenge. That "tarTAR" always sends shivers down my spine. And I think, that Gary Oldman did the job so well, since he had to have this mega makeup on, and STILL be able to make Verger a person, who you'd NEVER want to meet.
@@SomeKindOfScum nah Michael pitts was wayy better.
And way scarier and disturbing oldman only had like 2 scenes where he was scary and cool lol
there is a lot of heath ledger in there. in a good way. very engaging!
WeeeeEEeeEeEEEeeEEEee all the way home.
Poor Margot. :(
Ikr - I want to take her away from him, wrap her up in a blanket and give her some cocoa
Laura Lynn Mason gets his in the end
what? mason is a the best !
what? hahahahah
She won in the end at least.
Is it just me or Mason could be a really good Joker ?
If you looked in the comment section, you'd know you weren't.
Oh my Michael Pitt is such a good actor.
Michael pitt can play psychopaths very good. Beautiful actor in a crazy way...
When the fox hears the rabbit scream, he comes a-running. But not to help.
Michael Pitt is maniacal as Mason Verger. Brilliant.
"What is your secret?!" The way Michael Pitt delivered that line made me think of Heath Ledger Joker. Everything he says actually when I think about it.

So glad this was a series of two second clips. Exactly what I was looking for
HAVE A CHAWKLIT
this guy is a truly fine actor and we will see much more of him in the future.
During his sessions with Dr. Lector, even the doctor himself seemed shocked at Mason's admissions. That's really saying something for Hannibal to be shocked at anything with all he has seen, heard and done.
Good point. Mason is disgustingly rude.
J Tee I disagree. He talked about subverting kids. What's interesting is Will doesn't seem to know that Mason drinks tears.
J Tee
fun fact: apparently that chair is mahogany XD
It's too bad the actor was replaced. He did a difficult and excellent job of making an absurd character believable and creepy. I hear he's a pain in the ass, but he does great work.
Oh, God. I close my eyes and it's like Ramsey Snow talking. Their voices are so much alike, and of course, the fact that both are sadistic psychopaths. Daaaamn
I was watching the episode today where he said he wanted to have a baby with his sister, I yelled *"SWEET HOME ALABAMA"*
No it is rape and molestation perv
I feel like Michael Pitt would make an excellent Joker for Batman after seeing his performance as Mason Verger in Hannibal.
Pitt's performance is so underrated. When Joe Anderson took over it really affected the character.
HE MUST BE THE JOKER
Mason wound make a great joker
Oh Thank you for this. ... This show presented characters with a different of psychological issues labelled as psychopaths but Mason Verger is 'The Psychopath' ... That is pure evil. Hannibal Lecter is a saint.
I totally agree
mason verger pshychotic + james darmody hairstyle = new JOKER.
Pitt would’ve been perfect as Joker. Surely I’m not the only one that sees it
Mason doesn't have best moments, just worst ones. I mean, he exists just to make gorram Hannibal Lecter look like a hero in comparison.
I liked Mason Verger way more before he fed himself to Will's dogs. Like the way he was in these scenes.
Getting a real Joker fibe here. Also I want my season 4.
When Arthur Fleck gets adopted by Thomas Wayne after his abusive mom gets institutionalized, but still gradually turns into The Joker...
I'm a simple man.
I see Mason Verger, I get homicidal.
Mason really was the Joker to Hannibal's Batman.
If Hannibal was Batman, then Mason Verger is definitely the Joker...
Does that make Will commissioner Gordon?
@@ToastOnSmores
Robin probably.
The way he acts towards his sister is sicker than Hannibal's dietary preferences.
I've watched almost every other movie that Michael Pitt is in and every time I watch this I honestly don't believe it's Michael. He's that good of an actor, I can't even see the real person in there at all. He's a genius.
At least Hannibal has fucking standards...
Indeed
ok I seen some messed up crap in my life on TV and movies but this guy takes the cake
Michael Pitt Is the most under appreciated Actor out there right now!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can't stop thinking that he would do great as the joker
Just started watching Boardwalk, and 9 episodes in realised Michael Pitt's in Hannibal too. Pretty nice acting skills
anybody else love how he tells Margot she's got a BLOOM about her...a certain Bloom that becomes her wife in the next season ;)
More important lesson ,
Psycho beats maniac.
He just wanna have fun.
But hannibal is FCKIN INSANE , he plan for one year before actually happens.
Imagine having a brother like him
Mannn I really wish they kept that actor for season 3. He was charismatic and enigmatic in the worst and most despicable way so that he wasn’t a “likeable” villain but was incredibly entertaining to watch.
I can't believe he quit Hannibal. I really liked him.
If The Joker and Harley Quinn had a son.
I bet this is what Elton John is like behind closed doors
Heath Ledger's Joker even more deranged brother.
2:44 "i hate you so much istg"
Michael Pitt is such a great actor, from Dawson Creek, to Bully, Boardwalk Empire, I love his style.
THANK YOU SO MUCH for uploading this! LOVE Mason! Pitt did an OUTSTANDING job with this creepy hot character! LOVE his messy hair too! Sexy!
U need to raise your standards! 😂
mickyjoe97 perhaps ;)
too bad he's mostly into kids.
Your definition of sexy is disturbing...
I can tell someone was abused or an abuser himself
Michael Pitt would make a fantastic Hobgoblin in Spider-Man. He’s got the style of Roderick Kingsley and the ability to go from normal to batshit crazy.
All I remember from this show is, "USE THE LADIES ROOM!!"
This little piggy went weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee all the way home! XD
Cant wait to see him return Season3
This isn’t a “best of” compilation, this is just every bit of dialogue from Mason Verger from one episode.
Because he’s always the best
"M a r g o. SayhellotoPavlov."
He and Will are my favourite characters on this show.
"you've got a Bloom" Nice.
Mason Got His.
Michael Pitt is the ultimate Mason! Complete perfection 🤌🏼
Thanks for this vide! I am not crazy about the show itself, but Michael stole every scene he was in! Pity he left the cast!
Stefan_Tomislav_Tvrtko It's like when he was in Boardwalk Empire, he always stole the scenes. Brilliant actor.
gloomyharlow
I love that show, but not just because of him! I have always been a huge fan of gangster genre, and even if I werent, it's still a great show! But, you're right about MP! He's sorely missed!
The moment he entered Hannibal's office and was kind of rude he was a dead man
And many children cheered.
"Tough as a livery pony, who is resentful of...the BIT" hahaha, love the delivery on that one.
I can't unsee Michael Pitt in this role. I watched the Dreamers recently and all I saw was Mason Verger except younger.
I will never forgive Michael for not being in season 3. I adore him
Michael Pitt was the perfect actor to play Mason, too bad he quit (he has had a history of being hard to work with) I hope Joe Anderson is just as good.
Maddox And he is just as good.

"Have a chocolate!"
I don't know who looks more handsome in glasses...Michael or Cillian Murphy?
4:30 I was hoping you had this clip, so good. "I'm gonna feed you to my pigs"
woow he reminds me of Mark Hamill
hair goals
MIssed the bit where he stabbed the knife into hannibals chair, where lecture was absolutely stunned with his behavior
A KITTY CAT, YES.
I don't know why. But in some way, this Mason Verger reminds me of Dr. Strange love.
Must be the hair.
Michael Webb I do agree, I believe Pitt's acting is inspired by that dandy manierism of dr.strangelove.
0:43 Do you want a list Mason?
he can be another version of joker
Big fan of that “anything for a chocolate bar” line, in don’t remember if it was in the book but both pitt and oldman say it in their respective preformances and i find its such a succinct way of letting you know just how evil he is
Michael Pitt is fantastic actor
