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.
Pierce also had the chance to revisit another character he’d played previously only to turn it down. Kelsey Grammer has revived Frasier with an all-new series on Paramount+, and it was such a hit that a second season is in the works. There have been some special appearances from Frasier characters, but Pierce has not appeared. Grammer has since said that he was told directly that Pierce just wasn’t interested in playing Niles again, but that the door will stay open in case the actor changes his mind.
