The Beetlejuice sequel introduced several new characters, resulting in many fans wondering who voices Bob in Beetlejuice Beetlejuice. The long-awaited sequel brought back several characters from the original Beetlejuice movie, with Michael Keaton back as Betelgeuse, Winona Ryder back as Lydia Deetz, and Catherine O’Hara back as her mother, Delia. However, there were several newcomers, including Jenna Ortega as Lydia’s daughter Astrid and Monica Bellucci as Delores, Betelgeuse’s ex-wife.

Another newcomer is a character that most fans recognized from the first movie but who had a bigger role this time around. Beetlejuice fans might remember the shrunken-head characters in Neitherworld, but this time, the character took on a name and a personality. This character is Bob, a shrunken-headed employee at the Neitherworld’s call center. He was one of the fan-favorite characters from the new movie, but at the same time, he was also someone with a tragic ending, showing the evil of Betelgeuse.

Beetlejuice Beetlejuice’s Bob Is Voiced By Nick Kellington

Bob Worked With Betelgeuse In The Call Center

Bob is a shrunken-headed employee at the Neitherworld call center in Beetlejuice Beetlejuice. Bob is one of several employees who have shrunken heads thanks to the witch doctor while their mouths are also sewn closed. It remains unclear why Betelgeuse worked with them. Either Betelgeuse was put in charge since he had experience as a shrunken-headed person, or he chose them because they couldn’t talk, and that fit his personality better since he didn’t have to listen to anyone else speak.

However, unlike the other employees, there was a moment when Bob did at least make a sound. Sadly, that happened when Bob tragically died in Beetlejuice Beetlejuice. Betelgeuse left Bob to be his stand-in, showing Betelgeuse is a villain, not a hero. Bob was there when Betelgeuse’s ex-wife showed up and killed him. Bob, who had already died once and ended up in the Neitherworld, died again when Delores sucked out his soul, ending him forever. Bob screamed as he died, with Nick Kellington voicing him at that moment.

It also wasn’t just Nick Kellington’s voice. The actor not only voiced Bob in Beetlejuice Beetlejuice but also wore the outfit under the shrunken head, using practical effects to create the specter. In an Instagram post, Kellington wrote, “I really want to say a special thank you to puppeteer Neil Sterenberg. Together we perform Bob for the movie. Myself in Bob’s body and Neil animatronic puppeteering Bob’s head and face.”
