While re-reading Hannibal the other day I noticed some similarities. Both are very wealthy, have @!#!-ed up visages, like spending time with children, have cameras set up to watch children, and invite underpriviledged children over to play.
There isn’t any proof on Micheal though, and he didn’t get his spine snapped by a doctor, so the similarity ends there.
Of course, this could be a product of a really bad flu and a good bit of cough medicine.
