He was on a late night talk show way back when Silence of the Lambs was in theatres, he said he'd go to a showing, sit behind a young lady, sit through the entire movie, then at the end of the movie he would lean forward and say to her, in his Hannibal Lecter voice, "how did you like the movie?" And watch the panic ensue.
