In general, though, it seems like a lot of folks were pleased with RE5 and nobody’s been unkind or rude or anything like that. I’m sure there are folks out there that dislike my portrayal of Chris, just like there are folks out there that do like what I’ve done. But, I suppose that’s from the fans that like what I’ve done. There’s a massive group of fans that support the brilliant minds that have created this world of RE.Īs far as how I’ve been received, I’ve felt very welcomed at the conventions. It’s no wonder they can be successful with RE movies, games, spinoffs, etc. Love the fans! You guys are some die-hard folks and without you guys this franchise would be nothing! It wasn’t until my first convention after the release of RE5 that I saw first-hand how passionate the fans of this series really are. ROH: Have you had a lot of contact with fans so far? Have you been received well into the Resident Evil community? So, I’d love to say I’ll keep on as Chris, but I’ve got no clue if/when there’s gonna be another phone call for work as Chris. My job is to show up ready to go when the phone rings and hopefully the phone keeps ringing. While I’m immensely proud of the work I’ve done and honored to have all the opportunities I’ve had with the character of Chris, I’ve got no say in who gets to voice the character. I’m an actor hired to do a job and lots of decisions are made by lots of different people for lots of different reasons way before I step into a booth to voice a role. I’ve got ZERO control over what anybody does with this character. This is one of those situations where the reality of the business-side of this industry comes into play. ROH: Since you’ve reprised Chris in the most appearances that any of his actors have to date, is it safe to assume that you are the permanent voice of Chris Redfield? Either way, it keeps the franchise alive and relevant, which is great for the games-which is really all I’m concerned with. I’ve heard mixed reviews from lots of folks. ROH: What were your views on the movie version of Chris played by Wentworth Miller? He seems a bit stressed at times, am I right? Y’know, he gets to a door before Sheva and just instantly starts yelling, “HURRY!” It’s like, dude, relax a bit. ![]() I just know someone spends a little too much time in the gym and he might wanna back off the bicep curls for a bit and focus more on anger-management. Daddy issues? Wasn’t hugged enough as a kid? Was bullied a lot and is gonna make the bullies pay someday by squishing their heads in his biceps? I dunno. Given the size of Chris’ arms, I’d say he’s clearly over-compensating for something, I just don’t know what. I’m only 5’5” tall, so over-compensating for things comes naturally to me-So I can totally relate to Chris. ![]() ROH: Did you feel that voicing a character who is nearly twice your size in muscle intimidating or that you might under-perform? (Joke question!) I was like, “Hey, this is gonna be kind of like, a big game and stuff, eh?” I think he responded with, “Duh.” So, yeah, I was the only guy on earth that didn’t realize the scope and popularity of Resident Evil. I just didn’t get on the RE train until I was at about the halfway point in the recordings for RE5 and I remember asking Liam O’Brien about the series. I know this kills fans of RE to hear that one of the character voices really didn’t know to much about their beloved series, but I was a bit of a loser in that way. I had dabbled with RE4 a little bit, but I didn’t get too far into it at that time. Honestly, I didn’t have to much experience with the RE franchise prior to landing the role of Chris’ voice. ROH: Had you been a Resident Evil fan before playing Chris in Resident Evil 5? If so, how far back does your experience with the series go? All the way to the original game, the newer ones, or somewhere in between? ![]() I had a chance to interview the man behind the characters, and it ended up to be a pretty fun interview. He’s Ezio in the Assassin’s Creed series, the latest Sonic, and the latest Chris Redfield.
