Leon Kennedy voice actor Nick Apostolides is the biggest Resident Evil fan ever

“I became a die-hard fan in 1998 when Resident Evil 2 came out,” Apostolides told Polygon in a video interview ahead of Requiem’s release last week. “When the first one came out, I was 12. I wanted to sleep over at my cousin’s house, and we were going to play Resident Evil. My mom thought it was too violent. She said ‘Well what do you do in it?’ I said, “Well, you can blow a zombie’s head off with a shotgun!’ And she goes, ‘No, you’re not playing that!’ So fast-forward two years later, when the sequel came out: I didn’t tell my mom! I slipped over to my buddy Joe’s house. We played that game and I fell in love ever since. I’ve loved Leon ever since that moment.”
