Who did his original voice in RE1? What's Eric's real name or surname.

[Helegad]

Well, I wouldn't reckon they'd be anyone recognizable (like a popular movie artist or singer), so I think their full name will remain a mystery.

[kevstah2004]

Yeah but why use aliases? we only know Barry Gjerde cos he's a translator.

i really dont care weither they change someones appearance or voiceing as long as they are sitll in the game and doing what they are ment to do (wesker= bad deeds as always) then im just happy with the game, and i am a kind of RE fan that dont care what happens with the games and if they trail of on plot from the original games cause i beleive in following in what they do and introducing somehting new (like las plagas for instance) is always good no mater how far off from the original stuff it is ... i just love resident evil period simple as that >.>

The problem is, the VA becomes a part on that character and when the voice is different, it just not the same for me anyway. As far as them trailing off the plot well that is just laziness. Now a days we expect more from a game and if the people making the games can't remember their own story or want to change it something without ending something else, well that shows they just don't care.

Barry's original voice actor was an American who did voice work for commercials and stuff in Japan. Someone from Bioflames found his webpage a while back, but it was taken down. I think some members tried to contact him about his role (as if he'd remember). Anyway, All the actors in the original used surnames to hide their identities. Its likely that they did this so that their "stage" names wouldn't be tarnished with video game work. I'd assume that back then video game voice acting was looked at with a bit of disdain by companies who would hire voice actors for the commercials and such.

Someone also posted that he passed away a few years back, but I can't find any working links these days.

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1404097/ he's still alive.
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0016015/ = og wesker not to be confused with a pornstar with the same name.
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1418006/ = og Jill??? looks nothing like Jill from the live action, I've always thought my sister looks like Jill from the live action with the beret still on.

I think maybe jill's voice is dubbed and the live action Jill didn't record any va she only says "Joooseph", pant, pant, out of breath.
Has anybody noticed the bloke who did the va of the Biohazard / Resident Evil intro screen sounds a lot like the bloke from tekken 3 that says fight, round 1 etc - Dean Harrington

Scott McCulloch - Chris Redfield (voice: English version)
Ward E. Sexton (Narrator (voice)

How can be Chris be two people, ugh???

[Helegad]

Just remember that IMDB and Wiki can both be edited by anyone, anywhere, anytime.

[Red Queen]

Ward Sexton is the narrator of RE titles on REØ, RE1, RE2, RE3, RE4, Rebirth and RE5.
Yes, he's doing RE5. His contract covers titles from 0 to 10.

Resident Evil 10? WOW!

I've got to agree that the voice acting has to be from the same person, take for example solid snake, if they changed his voice, in mgs4, then I wouldn't like it one bit, because I grew up knowing that rough voice and would just be sad if they changed it, this would be the same with Wesker, i'm happy they have a english voice in the games, makes it special to be english
Also you must agree that nemesis voice in U.C, wasn't as scary/amazing as the voice used in R.E 3.
