Why I Am No Longer The Voice of Albert Wesker
My journey as Wesker in the “Resident Evil” franchise culminated with “Teppen” in 2019, marking more than a decade of bad assery and hysterical memories. My final gig with Capcom was a 2-day test performance-capture shoot in 2020 – not a game.
As negotiations for future projects did not align with our mutual goals, I have embraced the end of this era with gratitude and some relief — not sure how Wesker would sound like when I’m 80. Throughout these years, Capcom’s decisions on casting have understandably been influenced by various logistics and economic considerations, so no hard feelings here.
I had hoped to craft a heartfelt love-letter to this chapter after RE4 remake arrived, celebrating my time as Wesker and with you guys, the fans. Unfortunately, due to recent events – all set in motion by one dishonest person – I’m just writing this post.
Resident Evil Rumors & Bad Actors
Heather Vandagriff, in an effort to damage my relationship with Capcom, wrote a defamatory Reddit post claiming I leaked “Resident Evil 4” artwork online. I did no such thing.
Here is what I did do: I called her out on her questionable running of a “fans of DC Douglas” discord server that was started by her in my name without my permission earlier this year.
Because that conversation didn’t go well, she left the streaming group I had assembled during the pandemic and began to do everything she could think of to tarnish my name and online reputation, including joining my stalker in her efforts. (I have written about her elsewhere and if you end up down that rabbit hole – God help you.) Apparently, this kind of “splitting black” is her modus operandi as many in the online “fan fiction” world can attest to.
Needless to say, gaming blogs and strangers ran with Heather’s efforts and the rest, as they [will] say, is stupid internet history.
So… There it is. Now I will log off and enjoy real life, flesh-and-blood people who have to look me in the eye, and new gigs playing creepy villains.
