Umbrella stockholder Albert Wesker will have more than classy shades and sadistic banter to his credit when he returns in Resident Evil 5, complete with moves from a General Hospital heartthrob. IGN reports that the former S.T.A.R.S. captain will be played by stunt man and former daytime TV actor Ken Lally, who will lend an extra motion-captured step to Wesker's swagger.
The actor, whose on-camera resume also includes playing "The German" in two episodes of Heroes as well as an unnamed security officer on Enterprise, got his combat chops early on as the son of an N.S.A. operative, leaving us hoping that this role will be a case of art imitating life. Well, without that whole virus thing.

You're joking right?
This guy fits the role much better than Craig would. All this guy needs is to be a bit taller.

Ken Lally said he was going to be a villain in a Capcom game back when 10th Wonders interviewed him. Strange, I thought M. Bison, or Dr. Wily.

Hey you guys. Any Devil May Cry fans out there will be interested to know that the same actor who played DANTE, plays Chris Redfield. Reuben Langdon and I, or Dante/Chris, are old friends from the days we did Castlevania 2 together. Check out some pics of us at my website, www.myspace.com/kenlally
