LOS ANGELES, Dec. 20 (UPI) -- Michael Pitt, who played wealthy villain Mason Verger on Hannibal, has decided not to return for the third season of NBC's serial killer drama.
The actor will be replaced by Joe Anderson, TV Line reported, noting the switch should go smoothly since Verger was greatly disfigured at the end of Season 2 and will look quite different when the show returns next year.
