What happened to Carlos?

He does look like Barry, eh? Good choice for the role.

Barry is supposed to be older, but since he's been involved in law enforcement special assignment units for most of his life, I seriously doubt that he should be played by a smilin' dough boy.

The only thing that "Home Improvement" guy has in common with Barry is a beard.

Since we're doing bad casting, I have an idea! I know that they already had that one dude play "Carlos" in the epically horrible RE live action films, but if they reboot, they should have this guy play him during the next go round...since, just like Carlos, he is latino and gay!

I just love that everyone quotes me.

Jill's Boob: by bad rap I meant that it looks like the are forgetting about Jill and Claire and want to stick with Leon and Chris. I know that Claire is in the new movie but have a funny feeling that she will take a back seat to Leon. i feel they are two soild characters and hope they return in a game. As far as all the other characters I don't care if they come back, well Barry I would like to see again.

I see what you mean. I, too, fear that Claire will take a back seat to super-suave-ninja-agent-man Leon in "Degeneration."

I'd like to see Barry again as well. But Barry was in "Gaiden" and RE3 (albeit a brief cameo).

As for my previous sentiment - I feel it is about time that Chris is featured in his own game. As the series' main protagonist, he's been seen less than Jill, Leon, or Claire (IMO).

I have no problem with female lead characters, but if you think about it - the majority of gamers playing a series like RE are males. And they are more likely to identify with a hero instead of a heroine.

Especially since the tremendously awful (yet surprisingly fun) RE4 captured so many teenage males for the RE audience.

Oh come on he even he could easy do Barry's cheesy one liner's his whole persona fits perfect you can't tell me Barry wouldn't be a woodsman / carpenter if he wasn't in the Army, S.W.A.T. or S.T.A.R.S. it's probably what he was working as when he returned to his family after re3.

Honestly, I don't think then guy has the build or the seriousness to be Barry. He's too flabby and everyone knows him as Al. There are a lot of better choices out there. Including the guy who played Barry in the first game.

Yes, I agree. Look at that acting prowess!

...I said he was a better choice. I didn't say 'good one.'

I was just joking. I just find the RE1 actors to be so bad, that they're awesome!

I do agree with you that the "Home Improvement" guy is an awful choice.

Carlos is one of my two favorite characters from the RE series (I play him on the internets lol!!1). Of course, they all kick major ass and I adore them all, but yes. Carlos showed a lot of potential for more, not somuch his past and what we grasped of it, but more how his joining Umbrella was a situation where he didn't know what the hell was coming to him. And when he did face it first-hand, it opened up a lot of possibilities in joining the "fight against Umbrella" - outright leaving or somehow digging deeper through that connection. His position in the UBCS is something I think could have been fun to do something more with.

In short though, I'd too love to know what happened to Carlos. What with the occasional extras and reports we get from RE in all of its different digital and book forms I think something that mentions him (and all of the others like him mentioned in this post). And when I say I'd be happy with anything, that includes closure of a simple "oh Carlos said screw this crap and went home."
