David Hyde Pierce Joins Hellboy Cast Source: Superhero Hype! Monday, November 10, 2003
Superhero Hype! reports that Frasier star David Hyde Pierce will voice the character of Abe Sapien in the upcoming Hellboy comic book adaptation from writer/director Guillermo del Toro. Doug Jones performed the part of Abe on the set, but the voice you will hear will come from Pierce.
Born in the flames of hell, and brought to our world in a pagan ritual, the fierce red hero, Hellboy (Ron Perlman), was saved by his friend and mentor, the benevolent Dr. Broom (John Hurt). Raised in Broom's Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense, Hellboy joins the likes of the "Mer-Man" Abe Sapien, Liz Sherman (Selma Blair), the woman he loves who can psychically control fire, and Myers, the FBI agent who is his rival for Liz's affections. Together, our heroes must come to terms with fantastic powers that prove to be both a blessing and a curse. In the process they discover that their abilities serve to benefit mankind but may also keep them forever isolated from the society that only they can protect.
Hellboy, for which you'll get a first glimpse at the trailer in theaters with The Missing, opens on April 2.
