The actor who voices Charles Deetz and serves as his physical stand-in is uncredited inBeetlejuice Beetlejuice’s cast.

Considering Jeffrey Jones wasnt returning, it seemed there would be no way forBeetlejuice 2to include Charles.

Still, Charles return did require a voice recasting.

Tim Burton’s Beetlejuice stars Michael Keaton as the titular “bio-exorcist”, an obnoxious spirit who specializes in driving living occupants out of homes. When Barbara (Geena Davis) and Adam Maitland (Alec Baldwin) die suddenly, they pass into the spirit realm, and must stay in their home. However, in the living world, the Deetz family purchases the house and moves in, prompting the Maitlands to enlist the help of Beetlejuice to drive them away.
