With Silence of the Lambs turning 30 on Valentine s Day, actress Michelle Pfeiffer recently revealed that she turned down a lead role in the epic film.
While chatting to The New Yorker recently, Pfeiffer detailed how she was originally the top pick for the movie.
But she turned down the role because of its evil storyline.
Though a promising student – and, it should be said, clever and cunning enough to attract Lecter’s interest – Clarice has already been cast as the rube before Lecter gets a look at her. Her superior in the bureau’s Behavioral Science Unit, Jack Crawford (Scott Glenn), has sent her to Lecter with a questionnaire that might help the FBI in its pursuit of Buffalo Bill, a serial killer who has been targeting young women and removing their skin. Crawford privately has no expectation that he will get a questionnaire back, but he suspects that Clarice will provoke him, which is exactly what happens.

You never know what’s going to happen with an audition,” actor Ted Levine remembers of the first time he portrayed Jame Gumb,
The Silence of the Lambs villain also known as “Buffalo Bill.” “I just pulled something out. It was scary. It felt kind of magical.”
“I read with the three final guys who were going to be Buffalo Bill,” says Brooke Smith, who played Catherine Martin, the U.S. senator’s daughter whom Gumb abducts in the movie. “When Ted walked in, it was so crazily obvious. I asked him, ‘What the hell did you do in that audition? You were so amazing.’ He was like, ‘Well, you know, I wasn’t sure what I was gonna do, so I just drank a lot of coffee.’ He was amazing.”
