Why was he not in the sequel. Did he not want to do it, or did the film makers not want him?
sharestudio couldnt afford him
shareyha, that's what I'm guessing too.
It seems as though they were bent on making the cheapest/most-ridiculous sequel possible - and that would of course include getting rid of Benjamin Bratt w/ a 2 minute phone call & throwing in Regina King with nothing funny to add to the movie whatsoever.
Benjamin Bratt's presence was sorely missed in this movie and the producers should have offered him the sun and the moon to appear.. I think his presence might have heped this movie a lot.
sharehis prescence may have helped but he was not NEEDED regina king was really good and i thought the film was really good but benjamin bratt wasn't able to appear in it for 'other' reasons!!!
shareRegina King was miscast in what was basically a very unpleasant character who I had a great deal of difficulty warming up to.
shareDidn't he take a break from acting or something?
I don't know, I think Regina King did a fabulous job being the new partner and stuff.

I think the OP understood what happened where the characters were concerned. I think they were wondering why the actor didn't appear in the movie.
