Adam Scott tried to sneakily audition for Hellraiser 6 despite getting killed in Hellraiser 4

This is per an interview Scott gave to Seth Meyers on Late Night this 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’t 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’t 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’s immortal party boy somehow survived to the events of the later film. (Actually, now that we think about it, the plot of Hellseeker is eventually revealed to be set entirely in Hell, so…)

Elsewhere, Scott—who confirmed that, yes, the third season of Severance is filming pretty soon—also 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’s more Alison Brie chit-chat than you were probably assuming.)
