David Bowie offered role in 'Hannibal'

Legendary rocker David Bowie has been offered a chance to make a comeback to the small screen with US horror series 'Hannibal'.
The 'Under Pressure' hitmaker has acted in several movies and TV shows over the years but has not appeared on TV since he last voiced children's cartoon character 'Sponge Bob Square Pants'.
Creator and producer of the show, Bryan Fuller, is making all efforts to rope in Bowie to play Count Robert Lector on season two of 'Hannibal'. It is based on characters from book Red Dragon penned by Thomas Harris, reported Contactmusic.
"We have reached out to David Bowie to see if he's interested and available. We would love for him to play Hannibal's uncle, who is a character from the literature and in the books," said Fuller.

Bowie is yet to reply to the offer, but show producers are optimistic that the pop star would agree.
The new season of 'Hannibal', starring Hugh Dancy as FBI agent Will Graham and Mads Mikkelsen as forensic psychiatrist Dr Hannibal Lectar, is scheduled to begin in Toronto, Canada in August.
