Adam Scott Says He Auditioned for 'Hellraiser 6' After His 'Hellraiser 4' Character Died

His late-night recollection spotlights the grind of early‑career actors in franchises where continuity often bends.

Overview

  • During a recent Late Night With Seth Meyers interview tied to his new film Hokum, Adam Scott recounted trying to reenter the Hellraiser series.
  • He said his agent sent him in for 2002’s Hellraiser: Hellseeker even though he had already appeared in 1996’s Hellraiser: Bloodline.
  • Aware his earlier character did not survive, he went anyway and tried to avoid a Bloodline producer he noticed through an office doorway.
  • He did not get the role and joked that the decision came down to his acting rather than a continuity snag.
  • Coverage placed the story within the long‑running Hellraiser franchise, which is based on Clive Barker’s The Hellbound Heart and now counts 11 films, the most recent released in 2022.
