Resident Evil (PS1) - Behind the Scenes of the Live Action Intro [Making of]

Some of these actors probably don´t know, but they made history.

warmecanic Inezh doesnt know that her identity is the greatest mystery in the whoke franchise. 😂

The actor Who's interprets Wesker here is the official voice actor from Wesker in all games, 1-5. I think the same from Rebecca Chambers.

Yeah, as I recall, she never went into the spotlight to talk about her experience

[@GivenToe]

I talked to Eric Pirius who played Wesker in the intro. Hes in banking now, and he had NO idea he was so impactful when I told him how much he means to this franchise. He is after all the first face of Wesker, EVER.

[@mordaciousfilms]

It seems like designers modeled Wesker in future games AFTER him rather than the original in-game model, too!

Eric IS Wesker.

Dude is THE only face of Wesker. Nobody else comes close.

[@Spiderdude57]

I remember buying my very first PS in 95 ar the Sony building in Manhattan and a friend of mines recommended RE to me. At first I was a bit hesitant but all he said was trust me. So i took a chance and bought the game. Till this very day i still have the long box of RE in my collection. It was like playing a horror movie. Norhing but fond memories. That moment i accidentally stumbled and opened the 2 books of doom to find the medallions that would open the entrance to the under ground lab above the water fountain. Was priceless. I was stuck for hours trying to figure out how to access the under ground lab. The internet was in its infancy stage back then so i couldn't look for any tips. Just pure luck.

@sadiq2008 : The lol part in all of this, is that there wasn't KZbin guides, even playfaqs wasn't at that time, or at least without any RE guide, so I really did play the game, but got stuck on the plant ( the one that you need to kill with a red powder ) then I left the game, my cousin started where I was, and he got stuck on caves where the waterfall is, I started playing from that point until I was able to end it to the very end, at that time with that game, full of puzzles and low on ammo and ribbons, it was a true miracle to end it.

I do not understand the reason for CAPCOM keeping so much secret about the real names of the actors who participated in the filming in Live Action of the opening of the original game, and this secret has extended to the present day, only if you have a vague notion of who they really were these actors.

[@Necrowolf81]

There are websites were some of the actors have been identified. Barry and Chris, they talk to one of both of them.

[@vladdraculLV]

About Barry, I read on a website that were two actors used to bring this character to life, one of them is what appears in the live action shoot, and the other just dubs his voice, although it looks a bit like barry who appears on filming, he denied being the one who appears in the live action shoot, but he confirmed that the voice is his. About the other characters, as I said before, one has only vague ideas of who they really are. They actually met actors and people very much like them, but all of them also denied having participated in the filming.

[@GQ1123ja]

Vlad Dracul makes it more mysterious and more epic

[@dodykusumanto8377]

I think CAPCOM is not actually keep it secret. Rather, they never care for it in the first place,not knowing that their low budget project becoming a legendary brand as it is today. The actors were hired from local talent agency, they get paid, played the sequences, and then their relationship ended. CAPCOM probably don't think they need to archived the data of theactors due to the fact it was a low budget project, using low budget actors back then. In fact, the actors also never even known that fans have been searching for them after all this years.
