I dont know if this was mentioned already on here or not...but I have a question:
I always thought Mr.Lee was never shown in the series and it might be someone from asia...but we never saw him.
Now I got the idea that maybe Hannibal is Mr.Lee??? Because in this episode Amy goes to what seems to Mr. Lee´s laundry(?) but the person in the shop is not a Mr. Lee himself...it is Hannibal....does someone know anything more about this? Thank you!

Yes, Mr. Lee is always Hannibal (who, IMO, is not even remotely convincing as an Asian person*, but, it's not the only time in this series that blackface is shown). I think we see Mr. Lee in at least one more episode.
*(I can't remember-- does Hannibal at least wear colored contacts so "Mr. Lee" doesn't have blue eyes??)
Sometimes I do wonder what they do with the laundry storefront the rest of the time. I suppose it's possible it's an actual functioning laundry most of the time, but I always sort of assumed it was one of those businesses that people in the neighborhood are used to always being closed...

I go back and forth on this one.
Some days I believe it's what Hannibal does when not being the leader of the team. He makes his living that way and has part-time help when he needs to be gone.
Other days I believe it's similar to the hot dog vendor in RANGE RIDER. They pay the real guy to step away for a bit so that Hannibal can check out a client.

In my A-TEAM world, it is a real laundry run by a real Chinese man who lets Hannibal use it as a front and lets Hannibal portray "Mr. Lee" when needed. But the show never gives us much to go on. Unless I've forgotten something, we only see "Mr. Lee" (Hannibal as him) in the pilot episode and never again.
