My Girl and “Veep” star Anna Chlumsky will guest star on NBC’s “Hannibal,” an hour-long crime drama chronicling the early days of Hannibal Lecter, the notorious cannibal/serial killer first introduced in the Thomas Harris novels “Red Dragon” and “Silence of the Lambs.”

Chlumsky will play FBI trainee Miriam Lass. She joins a cast that includes Lawrence Fishburne as Jack Crawford, Hugh Dancy as FBI agent Will Graham, Aaron Abrams as forensic investigator Brian Zeller, Caroline Dhavernas as profiler Dr. Alana Bloom and Mads Mikkelsen as Dr. Hannibal Lecter.

“Hannibal” is written by Bryan Fuller, creator of the ABC Emmy Award-winning series “Pushing Daisies” and Showtime’s highly underrated “Dead Like Me.”
