French actor Gaspard Ulliel, best known for playing Hannibal Lecter in “Hannibal Rising,” has died at the age of 37 after a skiing accident in southeastern France. “Gaspard Ulliel grew up with cinema and cinema grew up with him. After Ulliel left the top of a blue ski run, he collided with another skier and both fell to the ground, the statement said. When the emergency team arrived at the scene, Ulliel was lying still in the snow, unconscious, according to the statement. And French minister of culture Rosalyne Bachelot called Ulliel “an exceptional actor” in a tweet published Wednesday.
