but for the Lecter character in a Red Dragon adaptation, I prefer Cox.

What isn't better about the Manhunter adaptation? Other than not quite being as true to the source material (story-wise)?

Siskel & Ebert review from February 1991.

Eugene Siskel was always a dick to Ebert. Of course Ebert had the last laugh because Hopkins and Foster both went on to win Oscars for performances which Siskel referred to as "decent" and "overplayed."

I was just making the point that Hopkins is basically essential to the development of SOTL's plot and assisting Clarice whereas Cox plays more into the back story of Will Graham and his mental scars.

Because they serve completely different roles to each film, I think it's rather pointless to compare the two. It made more sense to me to compare Cox in Manhunter to Hopkins in Red Dragon because of the source material.
