The problem may be the microphone being used. Maybe it's too hyped in the annoying sybilant frequency range, then any compression is going to emphasize that. Maybe your buddy could experiment with some different microphones and compression settings when the talent is not there.

Just a thought.... I used to record a lot of v.o. and we never used a de-esser. I believe the mic of choice was always the Sennheiser 416. That's your typical voice over choice.
