David Hyde Pierce Explains Turning Down Role Reprisal for Hellboy 2
Frasier star David Hyde Pierce had a role in Guillermo del Toro's first Hellboy movie, providing the voice of Abe Sapien with Doug Jones physically portraying the character. However, in Hellboy II: The Golden Army, Pierce did not return, leaving it up to Jones to also voice the role.
In an interview with ComicBook.com, Pierce reflected on turning down Hellboy II: The Golden Army. While he said that he couldn't remember for sure, the actor said it was probably out of respect for Jones. Pierce shared how it didn't feel right to continue voicing the role with Jones "doing all the heavy lifting," so that's the most likely reason for why he would step aside, allowing Jones to take full control of the Abe Sapien character.
