Hellraiser 6: Dead Character Didn’t Stop Star From Auditioning

Severance star Adam Scott revealed that he tried to sneak his way into Hellraiser 6 despite his character being killed off in the fourth part of the film. During a recent appearance on Late Night With Seth Meyers, Scott said that he hoped “they won’t notice” that he was already a part of a previous film in the same series.

Adam Scott explains why he auditioned for Hellraiser 6 after his character died in fourth movie

Adam Scott revealed on Late Night With Seth Meyers that he tried to sneak back into the Hellraiser franchise after his character was killed off in Hellraiser: Bloodline. Despite the character’s death, Scott tried to audition for 2002’s Hellraiser: Hellseeker unsuccessfully.

Scott originally played Jacques, a servant who helped his master summon the demon, in the film. Speaking about the experience, Scott explained, “My agent sends an audition for Hellraiser 6, and I’m like, ‘Wait a second… I was in Hellraiser 4,…But I need a job. So I’m like, ‘Screw it.’ And I go to the audition just thinking, ‘Maybe they won’t notice that I was in Hellraiser 4.'”

This was quite a difficult prospect, and Scott tried his best to avoid looking at anyone who might recognize him from the previous film. “I remember being in the waiting room, kind of looking around and seeing a door ajar to someone’s office, and seeing a producer from Hellraiser 4 in the office.” Scott continued, “And just like holding my papers up, just like, ‘OK, if he doesn’t see me, and they think I do a good job, maybe I’ll get in Hellraiser 6 as well.'”

In the end, the Severance star did not book this job. But Scott was appreciative of the opportunity to work on Hellraiser. “I didn’t know about Hellraiser, but I was like, ‘Oh, this is an acting job?’ And so I was so excited,” he said.
