Buffalo Bill?

Couple of pages back, but as of right now, anything explicitly introduced in The Silence of the Lambs is off-limits for this show, as that book and any adaptations of its material are the sole domain of MGM. That means Benjamin Raspail, Jame Gumb / Buffalo Bill, Clarice Starling, etc., cannot legally be used. This can change, of course -- Fuller has said they have gone to MGM multiple times and been rebuffed -- but at this point in time, they're limited to Red Dragon, Hannibal, Hannibal Rising and anything they come up with on their own.

They recast her because she refused to do it if they kept the ending from the book.

Other way around -- as I recall, Foster insisted on doing the book's ending because she wanted to play it, and she walked when de Laurentiis and company insisted on the script's ending (which had Lecter handcuffing Clarice to a fridge handle, then he cuts off his own hand because he realized she didn't love him -- very Phantom of the Opera).
