But he also got his\u00a0start\u00a0in the world of scares, with an early film role in 1996\u2019s\u00a0Hellraiser: Bloodline, the fourth film in the increasingly \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.avclub.com\/inventory-films-made-only-to-preserve-their-copyrights-ashcan-copies\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">made mostly out of contractual obligations<\/a>\u201d horror franchise. His character, Jacques, did not survive that brush with the Lament Configuration\u2014which didn\u2019t stop Scott from deciding to say \u201cScrew it\u201d and audition to be in\u00a0Hellraiser 6, in the hopes that, hey, maybe nobody would notice.<\/p>\n<p>\ufeff<\/p>\n<p>This is per an interview Scott gave to Seth Meyers on\u00a0Late Night\u00a0this week, describing how badly he needed a job during the lean, post-Party Of Five years circa 2002, causing him to see if he couldn\u2019t just sneak his way back into the franchise that had gotten him his start after his agent offered him an audition. Scott describes having to literally hide his face from at least one long-time producer on the franchise while at the audition, in the hopes of impressing the filmmakers enough to overcome any other worries about who did or didn\u2019t get their hearts yanked out of their chests by Valentina Vargas a few years previous. Tragically, the ploy failed, thus depriving internet wonks everywhere of the fun of trying to figure out how Scott\u2019s immortal party boy somehow survived to the events of the later film. (Actually, now that we think about it, the plot of\u00a0Hellseeker\u00a0is eventually revealed to be set entirely in Hell, so\u2026)<\/p>\n<p>Elsewhere, Scott\u2014who confirmed that, yes, the third season of\u00a0Severance\u00a0is filming pretty soon\u2014also described recently getting to meet with the Pope, which sounds a lot more chaotic and less directed than you might expect a papal meeting to be. (Also, there\u2019s more Alison Brie chit-chat than you were probably assuming.)\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Adam Scott has dipped in and out of horror throughout his career, making appearances in\u00a0The Twilight Zone,\u00a0Krampus, and,&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":620126,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[52],"tags":[88,206],"class_list":["post-620125","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-entertainment","tag-movies"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/620125","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=620125"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/620125\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/620126"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=620125"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=620125"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=620125"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
