"Chilton's role is to torment Hannibal," continued the actor. "His role in the end is to be his captor and his tormentor. And now I certainly have reason for revenge."

But in order for him to exact his revenge he might have to change his perspective to what Dr. Hannibal Lecter (Mads Mikkelsen) is capable of doing.

"Hannibal is smarter than him, and he's playing against a monster," Esparza explained. "And that in order to deal with a monster, you have to become one."

The interview went on to probe more changes made upon his character to which the actor teased some "Cronenberg-like stuff."

"I remember when I said to Bryan, 'I think I should have a scar or something.' And he said, 'I think a scar is a great idea, why don't we earn it,'" he said.
