Konami announced today that the actors from the film adaptation of Mike Mignola's
Hellboy will reprise their roles in the upcoming
Hellboy game from Konami. The press release details that Ron Perlman, Selma Blair, and Doug Jones will reprise their roles as Hellboy, Liz Sherman, and Abe Sapien respectively. While we certainly can't complain about the gravelly wonder that is
Ron Perlman's voice, we're curious about Doug Jones.
Hellboy afficionados will know that Abe Sapien was indeed played by Doug Jones but was
voiced by
Frasier's David Hyde Pierce, who refused to be credited for the film as not to detract from Jones' performance. So, here's the question: who will actually voice Abe Sapien?

Jones is going to be doing his own voicework in the Hellboy sequel, I think. So its likely Jones here, too.

Doug Jones did the voice work for the two animated movies and he'll do it again for The Goldnen Army.
I'm assuming he'll do it for the game as well.

Yes it has been confirmed that Doug Jones will have a speaking part in Hellboy 2. And given that Hellboy 2 is already going ahead getting the cast to do the voices for this was probably not that hard since they will all be in one place.
