Interviews with Allan Groves, Irving's Mocap and Voice Actor

[Archelon]

Our friends over at Resident Evil Center and Resident Evil Realm have both posted interviews with Allan Groves, the motion capture and voice actor for the character Ricardo Irving from Resident Evil 5. You may remember him from the E3 2008 trailer: "Splendid timing! Yous two are just in time for the fireworks show! BOOOOM!"

The interviews are brief, but nevertheless interesting, reads worth your attention.

Allan seems to be a big fan.

RER: Will you play Resident Evil 5 ? How do you feel seeing “yourself” into a videogame ?


Allan Groves : Of course! It's pretty freaking sweet. I remember playing the first resident evil when it first came out. I would turn off all the lights, turn up the volume really loud on my stereo and scare the crap out of my self. Ahhh... those were the days.

Haha, sounds like he was getting all nostalgic then!

He seemed to initally go against Spoiler:

show spoiler

the fact that he turns into the kraken sea monster, so maybe it isn't Irving that turns into it, after all? Or maybe he's just trying to throw us off?

In case anyone is wondering why I removed Sunglasses' name from the post, he asked me to.

It's nowhere near as spoilerific as REHorror's.

@Archelon
I dunno, I made a promise to myself. I'm not going to visit that website until the RE5 release data. I've no problem with DaMa and Co. but when the do something there is always a spoiler or something dangerous in it... so reH stay away from me!

WOW the voice actor looks exactly like Irving.

[Dark_Chris]

because he's motion capture actor too

[trist]

THAT little wussy is "Irving"? And here I thought Irving was some mysterious character we haven't even seen yet.

Have to say though, the actor looks MUCH better than the character.

Motion Capture isn't always phhysical appearance though, sometimes they use them just for movement.

Like Andy Serkis and the King Kong.

No, he didn't look too much like King Kong...but he did look A LOT like Bohan in Heavenly Sword.




And...eh hem...it goes without saying...

I've seen all three interviews, and Allan has repeated the phrase: "I am going to give you a real ass-kicking" haha!!

It is a good guy, he likes the pick and roll of Utah Jazz!
