Q: Is "Hannibal" coming back for another season?
NBC left fans on the edges of their seats, gripped by suspense -- almost like an episode of a good thriller, come to think of it -- before it finally renewed "Hannibal."
The serial-killer drama is based on the Thomas Harris books that previously spawned a series of films, including the Oscar-winning 1991 picture "The Silence of the Lambs."

Q: Jason Isaacs has a heavy English accent in "The Patriot" and the "Harry Potter" movies, but in "Awake," there's no accent. Can he turn it on and off like Hugh Laurie? Which is his real accent?
Jason Isaacs is British to the core, hailing from Liverpool, England, the port city that gave us the Beatles.
It's not surprising that he would be able to keep his native accent for his film career, but have to drop it for TV -- the small screen is famously unwelcoming of other voices. This goes to the extent that commercials from other English-speaking countries such as Britain and Australia are often dubbed over with Americans -- and, to be fair, they do the same there.
