GUEST APPEARANCES

GREG SMITH is an actor from Wagga Wagga Australia who is most well-known for portraying Barry Burton in the live action sequences for Resident Evil (1996) and Resident Evil: Director's cut (1997), and his work in the Japanese television show "Tell Me That You Love Me".

CHARLIE KRASLAVSKY, born on August 14, 1968, in Tokyo, Japan, carved out a unique path in entertainment that transcends borders. Widely recognized for his portrayal of Chris Redfield in the live-action sequences of the iconic Resident Evil (Biohazard in Japan) video game, Charlie’s career is a blend of cult- classic appeal and international stardom. While he’s a familiar face to gamers in the U.S., in Japan, Charlie’s talents shone across the silver screen, television dramas, and high- profile commercials. His breakout moment came with the starring role in the Japanese film Maria 2, catapulting him to fame. From 1993 to 1996, Charlie honed his craft as part of the I.M.O. (Inagawa Motoko Office) agency before stepping away from the industry. However, his passion occasionally drew him back for brief stints in the 2000s and 2010s.

In May 2022, nostalgia met creativity as Charlie reunited with Resident Evil castmates Greg Smith (Barry Burton) and Eric Pirius (Albert Wesker) for an exciting project. The trio teamed up to film a teaser for a short film by Andrew Saullo and Black Ridge Media, inspired by the haunting lore of the series’ character “The Keeper.” The teaser generated buzz among fans, with crowdfunding efforts underway to bring this thrilling project to life.
