Comparing The Voices - Leon S. Kennedy (Updated)

[@GenerationWest]

From rookie cop, to agent, to one of the greatest zombie killers with the best hair around! I'll be covering Resident Evil characters with new entries, already did Leon, so next up is Claire Redfield (who I haven't done yet), a Ada Wong update, and a brand new one for Sherry Birkin. After that, more Transformers, and a new Voice Cast Comparison on Kingdom Hearts.

Absolutely false. He did have throat cancer but recovered from it. He died from a botched surgery involving an implant in his brain that was being used to treat his extreme case of OCD. He had stated a GoFundMe weeks prior to his death to help with his medical bills that explains this fully. Not sure why people are spreading misinformation.

[@ginogatash4030]

Yeah I think I like Nick the most, he sounds like a more fleshed out version of Paul Hadda, with a touch Paul Mercier's humor, Hadda did a pretty good job in the original, but you can hear that the VAs didn't have a strong direction, which is why the dialogue sounds a little awkward in context, but is fine on its own. The other actors are also pretty good, but they're all just doing a "cool guy" voice without much personality, with the exception of Paul Mercier who gets some pretty funny one liners in RE4, but he too suffers from generic cool guy performance in other resident evil games and movies, mainly because the dialogue in Darkseid Chronicles and Degeneration is so strictly serious 24/7.

[@jamesmonroe1538]

[@flamerollerx01]

Eh I think the live action performance was the second worst, even if it was better than the original. Also, the live action RE movies should be stricken from the cannon (if they aren't already). As movies, they're okay. As resident evil story, they're dog shit. I mean, the first one effectively ended the fucking world, but they still had the gall to make more. I admit I never watched the ones after the first, but I can't imagine any Deus Ex Machina could fix the world ending nature of the first damn movie. Also, Mila Jovovich is so damn hot.

[@japanlove6226]

@@flamerollerx01 You can't trash the movies then end it by saying Milla is hot like that fixes it. It doesn't. I personally love the games, live action, and the capcom movies, but if you were a real fan, you'd know that the Alice version of the RE movies are in it's on world anyway and NOT canon. That's literally the fucking point. When they asked for the rights to make them, they agreed that the Live action movies would not be canonical to the Capcom series at all. It was literally one giant AMAZING fanfiction that yes, got bumpy, confusing, and down right stupid in some parts, but as someone who grew up with it, i savored every fucking minute and hung on to every release and now proudly own the entire collection of Live action movies.

Yeah, I agree

[@sofidrake7513]

Matt Mercer is my FAV Leon. (Also because he does Levi in Eng Dub of AOT) But I do like the new RE2 remake guy too!!

[@bagofchips8399]

[@Yobidefy]

In resident evil 6 he kinda looks like Chris Hemworth

I love how Leon goes from sounding like a grown ass man to a teenage boy. 🤣 He's actually low-key cute in the RE2 remake.

Nick did a really great job in the RE2 remake! He’s not my favorite though, but they’re honestly all pretty good.

Wow. Love how they are consistent with his voice even with different actors.

I really loved the Nick Apostolides voice acting i hope Capcom hires him for a future RE4 remake 😃

[@ryanbush6118]

He was great as a young Leon but either Matthew Mercer or preferably Paul Mercier should be in the RE4 remake imo

[@akfm31]

Nick will automatically reprise his role as Leon because of Infinite Darkness for the sake of continuity details.

[@blueflare3848]

@@ryanbush6118 Based on what we've seen so far, he absolutely nailed it for the RE4 remake.

[@pappico]

I love Haddad, Mercier, Mercer, and Nick! They all did a great job with Leon, but Paul Mercier has got to be my top favorite because RE4 Leon is also my most favorite version of him. And Nick is just too adorable as young Leon. I noticed he's the only one who made Leon go with F-bombs in RE2 Remake and RE Infinite Darkness lol.

[@lightstalker1214]

Rip Paul Haddad :(

[@MV-bb5xj]

Paul Haddad is the best Leon. RIP Paul Haddad, we will miss you ❤️

[@severdnerv]

agree...not that the others arent good i mean they all were but RE2 ps1 meant alot to me at that time has so many hours played so for me he deserves to be the first and best one RIP

[@WheelDirection]

@@severdnerv TOTALLY Agree Bro.

[@cantstandurbs876]

Man I really hope Paul Mercier makes a return, not saying that the other voice actors are bad, not at all, but his voice fits almost perfectly with the character of Leon after maturing going forward from Resident evil 4, not only does it fit but his voice sound so cool, it's just a perfect match honestly. Paul absolutely would have to make a return, otherwise it would feel really odd.

[@noran2285]

Fun fact: Matthew Mercer is also Maccready’s voice actor from Fallout 4!

I love Nick Apostolides quote as leon in re4 remake at the beginning and when he carry Ashley to the surgery chair“This time it has to be different” with the tone he used making him the best voice for Leon❤
