I watched the scene recently for the first time. I had seen pics of the character, but I couldn't recall him from the theatrical release and had no idea that it was Spence. In the scene, I can just barely make out that it's him. I'm pretty certain it's his voice, albeit altered almost as much as his features. He uses an accent, and they have heavy effects on it. They also have the mouth itself (which appears to be an attempt at exaggerating one of Spence's most distinguishing features) motion-altered to creepily accentuate the act of speaking. I may be misinterpreting, but it seemed to me they were trying to produce the effect that the words were coming from elsewhere, as if Sauron were actually speaking directly through the warped man (and I wonder if this is the origin of the rumored scene of Aragorn actually fighting Sauron at the gate.) All things considered, I think they should have left the scene in. GoedGuyA's point of "why bother" is taken. However, I think the character as depicted has the creepy, almost Clive Barker aura that Jackson will be shooting for with the Dol Guldur content (Yazneg has the same feel, to me ). I also have a feeling we won't be seeing a single incarnation of the Necromancer (which would raise the issue of why doesn't he take form in LotR) but various "aspects" of him, and I think the Mouth may fit into such a scheme..
Man is but an ass if he go about to expound this dream.

Perhaps they re-learned you can't separate the body and the voice?

That's because the classification system is seriously out of date.

That's correct, Dinosaurs are now largely considered to be neither reptiles nor birds, but their own specific clade inbetween. //
