Adam Scott's Hellraiser Flub to Hollywood Breakout

0:00It's May 2nd, you're listening to entertainment and celebrity news today, AI-powered pop culture updates. I'm Cory with the story. Adam Scott spilled some hilarious behind the scenes T from his early career on late night with Seth Meyers while hyping his new project, Hokem. Turns out, he once auditioned for Hellraiser 6, the sixth movie in the franchise, even though his character got brutally killed off back in. Hellraiser 4, his film debut as a demon summoning servant named Jacques. A few years later, his agent hooked him up with the audition tape, and Scott was like, wait, didn't I already die in that world? But gigs were scarce, so he shrugged it off, figured why not, and showed up ready to slate. In the waiting room, things got awkward fast, high-spotted a producer from the fourth film chilling nearby, so he huddled behind his script pages, hoping. No one would clock him and blow his cover. He didn't snag the part, but reflecting now, Scott calls that bloodmine role a huge break. The shoot was chaotic, with delays and reshoots.
