Bradley, of London, will record the voiceover work at an undisclosed studio in the City of Washington this morning—and Knotts said the actor who once played the character Pinhead in the "Hellraiser" movies is doing the work as a personal favor to a member of the "Lucifer's" film crew.

In addition to starring as the leading role in the "Hellraiser" horror series, Bradley also starred in Cliver Barker's 1990 movie "Night Breed" and myriad other films.

"We are thrilled to have him," Knotts said early Tuesday. "It makes 'Lucifer's' that much more likely to be successful."

Reached Tuesday afternoon, Bradley said he was more than happy to stop in to help out in a small role where his voice will be heard during a telephone conversation in a scene in which he does not appear.

"I read the script and I was interested," he said, mentioning that fim crew member Vince Rufallo had sent him the document and asked him to consider lending his voice for the bit role. "I was intrigued in this concept of appearing in a film but not appearing in the fim."

Bradley said he will be in town until Thursday, when he needs to travel to Canada for an event before flying back to England.

Knotts also added that another "major" cast announcement would be forthcoming.
