There is no shortage of movies and TV shows that highlight the work of the FBI. For instance, five Hannibal Lecter films -- “Hannibal Rising,” “Manhunter,” “Red Dragon,” “The Silence of the Lambs,” and “Hannibal” – showcase not only the bureau but its agents as well. In fact, many actors and actresses have made their mark in Hollywood playing famed FBI agents on film and TV. Below are some of them.

Clarice Starling: While many preferred Jodie Foster’s take on this very popular character, some fans are quick to point out how Julianne Moore also gave the role some justice as well. Clarice Sterling was Hannibal Lecter’s “muse.” She starts off as a naïve trainee, who eventually becomes a full-fledged FBI agent. Later in her career, she became quite the trigger-happy law enforcer, even being recognized as the FBI agent with most kills. Joe Cianciotto.
Fox Mulder and Dana Scully: For many fans, the pair is a perfect union. While the two first gained following in the cult TV series, they also had two movies together, “The X-Files Movie” and “The X-Files: I Want to Believe.” Long-time FBI partners Mulder and Scully went through countless adventures and even ended up together.
Agent J: Many movie fans consider “Men in Black” as part of a secret FBI organization. And Will Smith’s portrayal, alongside Tommy Lee Jones’ Agent K, is downright hilarious. Joe Cianciotto.
