Animal actor who won critical acclaim for his role in the 1960s frontier drama Daniel Boone. Despite getting more fan mail than any cast member of the show, Hannibal was a temperamental sort who was difficult for directors and fellow cast members to work with. He found himself out of a job in the series' second season. From there, it was a long, slow personal decline for Hannibal. Unable to find work in Hollywood because he'd been blacklisted, Hannibal ended up as the main course for Christmas Dinner in a Los Angeles homeless shelter in 1971 having been donated there by his heartless agent who was fed up with trying to find him employment. Nevertheless, with the upcoming release of Daniel Boone on DVD, younger TV viewers can discover for themselves just how talented Hannibal was when he was on his game as an actor. He might even get that long awaited and well-deserved star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
