\n\tAdam Scott<\/a> revealed that he once tried to sneak his way back into the Hellraiser<\/a> franchise, despite previously getting killed off.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Severance star made a recent appearance on Late Night With Seth Meyers<\/a>, where he shared that he auditioned for 2002\u2019s Hellraiser: Hellseeker, even though his character Jacques \u2014 a servant who helps his aristocrat boss summon a demon \u2014 died in 1996\u2019s Hellraiser: Bloodline.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cMy agent sends an audition for Hellraiser 6, and I\u2019m like, \u2018Wait a second\u2026 I was in Hellraiser 4,\u201d he recalled. \u201cBut I need a job. So I\u2019m like, \u2018Screw it.\u2019 And I go to the audition just thinking, \u2018Maybe they won\u2019t notice that I was in\u00a0Hellraiser 4.’\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tScott said he even tried to avoid making eye contact with one of the Bloodline producers, whom he recognized at his audition. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI remember being in the waiting room, kind of looking around and seeing a door ajar to someone\u2019s office and seeing a producer from Hellraiser 4 in the office. And just like holding my papers up, just like, \u2018OK, if he doesn\u2019t see me, and they think I do a good job, maybe I\u2019ll get in Hellraiser 6 as well,’\u201d the Hokum actor explained.<\/p>\n

\n\tUnfortunately for Scott, he didn\u2019t book the job in the end.<\/p>\n

\n\tWhile reflecting on his experience in the popular horror franchise with his role in Bloodline, Scott was still appreciative of the opportunity early in his acting career.<\/p>\n

\n\tHe told host Seth Meyers, \u201cI didn\u2019t know about Hellraiser, but I was like, \u2018Oh, this is an acting job?\u2019 And so I was so excited.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Hellraiser franchise, based on Clive Barker\u2019s 1986 novella The Hellbound Heart, includes 11 movies, with the most recent being released in 2022<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Adam Scott revealed that he once tried to sneak his way back into the Hellraiser franchise, despite previously…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":564580,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[21971,6491,96,129516,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-564579","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-adam-scott","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-hellraiser","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/564579","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=564579"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/564579\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/564580"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=564579"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=564579"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=564579"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
