Will, I think we need a key shot of you here in your Washington hideaway.

“Caroline Dhavernas starred in your series Wonderfalls. Did you write the role of Alana Bloom specifically for her?”
Bryan Fuller: “Well, Alan Bloom exists in the book [Red Dragon] as a supporting character, and I thought, “We should have more female energy on the show – we have Jack Crawford, we have Will Graham, we have Hannibal Lecter, and now we need to have the female point of view represented on this show,” and so I had called Caroline and said, “I’m doing this show Hannibal, and I would love for you to be on it, and there are a couple roles that I’m thinking about that you would be right for, and which do you want to do?” And she said, “Oh, Alana Bloom, absolutely.” And I was like, “Great.” Done and done.”
“You made Freddie Lounds a woman, played by Lara Jean Chorostecki.”
Bryan Fuller: “Yes. She’s kind of modeled after Rebecca Brooks, who was the editor of the News of the World, who had all of the scandals with the wire-tapping. I thought, “Oh, the tabloid journalism of the novel is from a different era,” and so I thought, “Okay, I want her to be slightly more savvy and political than the tabloid journalism that we saw with Freddie Lounds, who was played by Stephen Lang in Manhunter. I thought, we can make her just a little smarter, no less manipulative, no less a galaxy-class schmoozer, but effective in her own right. She is going to have a big role coming up – she’s peppered in throughout the first season to great effect and she’ll have a much more significant role in Season 2. I wanted to have more of a [gender] balance. In the last six episodes, I was so happy with the richness of the female characters and how they were representing many different points of view of the world’s stories, and I was excited that I was seeing such great actresses as Caroline and Kacey Rohl and Lara Jean Chorostecki and Hettienne Park and Gillian Anderson, and also that they were so different from each other.” [Bryan Fuller interview for Assignement X on June 20, 2013]

Are you Freddie Lounds? This is unethical, even for a tabloid journalist.
