Resident Evil (バイオハザード, spelled Baiohazādo or simply Biohazard in Japan) is a survival horror game by CAPCOM and is the first game in the Resident Evil series. It was originally released in 1996 for the PlayStation and has been subsequently ported to the Sega Saturn and PC, then re-released twice on the PlayStation in the form of a Director’s Cut. This game has many modified versions. Resident Evil Director’s Cut was released in 1997 and it was a modified version of the Original game. In 1998, Resident Evil Director’s Cut with Dual Shock version was released. Dual Shock version also contains new soundtracks. Resident Evil: Deadly Silence is an enhanced version of the original Resident Evil for the Nintendo DS port and it was released in 2006. In 2002 Capcom made a remake of the first Resident Evil game on Nintendo GameCube. This game is often known under the informal titles of Resident Evil: Remake or Resident Evil: Rebirth (abbreviated REmake and REbirth respectively). In 2015, Resident Evil HD Remaster was released for Playstation 3, Playstation 4, Xbox 360, Xbox One and Microsoft Windows.

This game has exceptional graphics, characters have different voice actors and face models, the live action movies are replaced with animated cutscenes. Also, in Spencer’s Mansion new rooms are added.

Here is a page, which is about the face models and voice actors, who were in Resident Evil Remake (2002): https://gamesandmoviesblog.wordpress.com/resident-evil-remake-video-game-2002-face-models-and-voice-actors/

First Resident Evil has live-action movies during the game opening and ending. Actors and actresses who portrayed characters in the live-action movies, weren’t voice actors in this game. Their voices were dubbed over with voice actors voices. Actors and actresses were listed with the first names or pseudonyms. They were random models. Now we have found five live-action actors, but we know full names of only three of them. These actors are Charlie Kraslavsky, Greg Smith and Eric Pirius. Voice actors weren’t credited for this game.

Jill Valentine’s and Rebecca Chambers’ live-action actresses have been found, however we still don’t know their full names. It seems that Rebecca’s actress doesn’t want to reveal her real identity.

Jill Valentine’s live-action actress was found by Talonide and was posted by dr_raichi on Twitter on August 28, 2020. It would be good if Inezh tells us her full name, however if she doesn’t want to reveal her real identity, we can’t do anything about it.

Fred_Derf found how to contact Inezh

I would like to thank all the Resident Evil fans, who found the live-action actors:

I contacted Ward Sexton, who was a narrator in this game and he told me that the cast below is correct.

Ward is credited in this game

Here is my email conversation to Ward Sexton

The voice cast is confirmed by Ward Sexton. The left side of the picture below is from the end credits of the game, which shows the list of live-actors (they were credited with only their first names), and the right side of the picture shows the list of voice actors.



Note: Shinji Mikami and Ward Sexton didn’t say that the voice actors were different people, however according to voice actor Barry Gjerde’s and several live-action actors’ interviews Scott, Barry and Lynn are only voice actors. Also Jill’s actress and voice actress is not the same person.

Shinji Mikami’s word from the interview:”That cheap filming was completely my mistake. I did not have enough time or money, and should have chosen the actors according to their acting skills, but now it’s too late for that “… -SHINJI MIKAMI

Also here is Barry’s interview

Three live-action actors have been identified. Their full names are shown on the picture below

Scott McCulloch – Chris Redfield (voice) (uncredited)

Scott McCulloch was a canadian DJ, narrator and voice actor. Scott was Ward Sexton’s good friend. He did voice acting in several video games like: Tekken, Tekken 2, Time Crisis, The Note, Castlevania : Symphony of the Night, Castlevania : Legacy of darkness and etc.

In 1995, Scott did voice over roles in two games Tekken and Tekken 2, where he voiced Paul Phoenix. Then in the same year he voiced Chris Redfield in Resident Evil. After that his most notable video game role was Richter Belmont in Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (1997). Scott was an intro narrator and Paulo’s voice actor in The Note (1997). Then he was an opening narrator in Castlevania: Legacy of Darkness (1999). He also voiced Wild Dog in Time Crisis (1997), Time Crisis II (2001) and Time Crisis 3 (2003). In Tekken 5 (2005) he did additional voices. In several games Scott was working with Barry Gjerde and Lynn Harris.

Unfortunately, Scott McCulloch passed away on September 27, 2000.

I’ve created a memorial page for Ramsay Scott McCulloch: https://gamesandmoviesblog.wordpress.com/ramsay-scott-mcculloch-memorial-page/

IMDb page says that Scott McCulloch voiced some roles in Time Crisis II, Time Crisis 3, Time Crisis: Crisis Zone and Tekken 5. But Scott wasn’t alive at the time, so either this information is wrong or maybe Scott’s archive voice was used in these games.

Below is a photo of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night credits and Castlevania: Legacy of Darkness credits, where Scott is credited as a narrator and Richter’s voice actor.

Facebook memorial page for Scott McCulloch.

Note: Not to be confused with a Canadian actor Scott McCulloch (see below).



Below is a Canadian actor whose name is Scott McCulloch too and he plays in movies, TV shows and theater roles. He has never done any voice acting in video games, but people often confuse him with Scott McCulloch who was a voice actor. IMDb has incorrect information about him. He is not Scott McCulloch from the video games.



Inezh – Jill Valentine (found by Talonide and posted by dr_raichi)



Jill Valentine was played by Inezh, who was a high school student at the time. In 1995 Inezh portrayed Jill Valentine. Live-action intro where she played Jill, was shot on the bank of Tama (River Bay Tokyo, Japan). Back then, she was a student and it’s natural that she didn’t have much experience, so a director Shinji Mikami didn’t like her acting. In an interview Shinji said that he didn’t have enough money or time, otherwise he would have chosen actors according to their acting skills. According to Shinji Mikami all these actors were chosen because of their appearence.

Jill Valentine’s live-action actress was found by Talonide and the information was posted by dr_raichi on Twitter on August 28, 2020.

I would like to thank the Resident Evil fan – Talonide, who found Jill’s live-action actress and dr_raichi, who posted this information on Twitter.

Fred_Derf found how to contact Inezh

Here is a screenshot below, which shows us dr_raichi’s post on Twitter

It is a shame that we still don’t know Inezh’s full name. And it would be good if Inezh tells us her full name, however if she doesn’t want to reveal her real identity, we can’t do anything about it.

Anyway, I’ve created a fan page about Inezh: Inezh’s fan page

Also some information about Inezh was written on this website: https://www.biohazardcast.com/resident-evil-inezh-has-been-found/

Note: Not to be confused with an Irish actress Una Kavanagh (see below)

Below you can see an Irish actress whose name is Una Kavanagh and she plays in movies, TV shows and theater roles. Resident Evil fans found resemblance between Una and Inezh, so for many years fans thought that Una was Inezh, and it was written on IMDB too, however I’ve contacted her on Twitter on August 12, 2015 and asked her if she was Jill. Then on August 13, 2015 Una told me that she wasn’t Jill. So Una Kavanagh is not Inezh. She neither played Jill, nor voiced her.

Here are the screenshots below, which show us my Twitter conversation with Una Kavanagh

Inezh and Una Kavanagh comparison

Inezh who is Jill Valentine’s live-action actress is on the left side, and the Irish actress Una Kavanagh, who plays in movies, TV shows and theater, is on the right side. For many years, Resident Evil fans saw similarities in facial appearance between Inezh and Una, so it was believed that Una was Inezh, and it was written on IMDB too, however, later it was confirmed that Inezh and Una Kavanagh are not the same person.

Unknown Canadian voice actress – Jill Valentine (voice) (uncredited)

Here is Barry Gjerde’s interview, where he mentioned Jill’s voice actress: Barry’s interview

Unfortunately, we don’t know who is Jill Valentine’s voice actress, however we know that she comes from Canada.

I uploaded her voice sample on Youtube. If you know who Jill’s voice actress is, please write it on this blog or comment on this Youtube video linked below.

Jill Valentine’s voice sample from Resident Evil 1996: Jill Valentine’s voice sample from Resident Evil 1996

More details about the unknown Canadian voice actress

The name, Una Kavanagh, was mentioned in the list, which I sent to Ward Sexton. According to Ward, the list was correct, so it was believed that Jill’s voice actress was Una Kavanagh, however Barry Gjerde didn’t say her name. He only said that Jill’s voice actress comes from Canada.

We still don’t know whether the name of Jill Valentine’s voice actress is Una Kavanagh or not. I think that the voice actress, who voiced Jill Valentine, could have a different name.

Greg Smith is an actor who played Barry Burton in the live-action sequence. He leaves in Australia. He is a principal in a School at South Wagga.

I hope Linda decides to reveal her full name as well! It’s quite funny – 23 years passed since the game was released and we still don’t know Linda’s full name and we don’t have any information about Inezh and Jason either.

If someone knows Linda’s full name or has any information about Inezh and Jason please write it on this blog!

For many years, Resident Evil fans saw similarities in facial appearance between Eric and Sergio, so it was believed that Sergio Alarcon both played and voiced Wesker.

Jason – Joseph Frost

Jason is an actor, who played Joseph Frost in the live-action sequence of Resident Evil 1996. The character of Joseph Frost was voiced by an unknown voice actor in the live-action cutscenes of the game.

According to several interviews, the live-action actors from the game were listed with their first names. The actor, who played Joseph Frost in the live-action sequence of Resident Evil 1996, was credited as Jason. So his real name is Jason, however the last name is still unknown.

More details about the live action actor who played Joseph Frost

For many years, Resident Evil fans thought that the full name of the actor who played Joseph, was Jason Wool. I wanted to check the rumor and I mentioned the name, Jason Wool, in the list which I sent to Ward Sexton. According to Ward, the list was correct, so it was believed that Joseph Frost was played by Jason Wool. However later it was confirmed that the list which I sent to Ward was a list of voice actors and not the live-action actors, so we still don’t know who played Joseph Frost in the live-action cutscenes.

Note: According to Ward, Dean was a voice actor in this game.

Ward E.Sexton (Narrator)

Ward E.Sexton is a voice actor and was Scott McCulloch’s close friend. In Resident Evil, Resident Evil Director’s Cut and Resident Evil 4, he was calling a title of the game. Ward did many voice over roles in Japanese games: Deadly Arts, Silent Hill 2, Bloody Roar 4, Time Crisis: Crisis Zone, etc.

He has his own website: http://www.wardsexton.com/

Below is the information from some forums , but according to several interviews all of this is incorrect.

Lisle Wilkerson (voice of Jill) (some people’s opinion)

Some people asked Lisle if she was Jill’s voice and Lisle said that she didn’t remember, but maybe. Lisle Wilkerson is an actress and a voice actress. She grew up in Tokyo, Japan and has worked in the entertainment industry for over 20 years. She did voice over roles in many Japanese games: Tekken 4, Tekken 5, Garasu no bara (Glass Rose), Virtua Fighter 5, etc. Her most notable role was Nina Williams in Tekken 5. She also voiced Christie Monteiro. In Garasu no bara (Glass Rose) she voiced Emi Katagiri and Emmy. Lisle played in some movies as well. These movies are Lost in Translation, where she played sexy businesswoman and Kamataki, where she played role of Rita. Lisle was working with Scott McCulloch, Lynn Harris and Barry Gjerde in some games. She moved to US in 2008.

On some forums Resident Evil fans said that Lisle was a voice actress of Jill Valentine. Also, there is a video link below, where the voice samples from Glass Rose and Resident Evil are compared. In Glass Rose, Lisle voiced two characters – Emi Katagiri and Emmy. Resident Evil fans found similarities between the voices of Jill Valentine and these two characters, so it was believed that Lisle Wilkerson voiced Jill Valentine in Resident Evil 1996.

Glass Rose & Biohazard/Resident Evil Audio Comparison

Later I decided to check this rumor, so I contacted Lisle and asked about it. I also sent her Jill Valentine’s voice sample video, which I have on my Youtube channel. Lisle listened to Jill’s voice sample and told me that she didn’t do a voice over role of Jill Valentine in Resident Evil 1996.

So, according to Lisle Wilkerson she didn’t voice Jill Valentine in Resident Evil 1996.

Here, I would like to thank Lisle, as besides confirming that she didn’t voice Jill, she also helped me find Rebecca’s voice actress too.

According to Barry’s interview Jill’s voice actress is from northern Alberta, Canada. She studied at the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology, which is in Edmonton.
