Leon Kennedy Actor Recalls His Favourite Cut Line From Resident Evil Requiem

"It would have been a banger". Voice actor Nick Apostolides returned as Leon Kennedy in this year's excellent Resident Evil Requiem, depicting a character who is not only more jaded and haunted by the past, but also battling against a deadly virus of his own. Despite this, Leon still has a few awesome quips and one-liners sprinkled throughout the campaign – one of our favourites being his desire to seek "a second opinion" as a zombie doctor is advancing upon him with a chainsaw. Nice. Read the f

Leon S. Kennedy might be pushing 50 in the world of Resident Evil, but that doesn't seem to be slowing him down, if his action hero hijinks in this year's Resident Evil Requiem - including that motorcycle scene - are anything to go by.
