  • Possible lead on Inezh

    Hello RE fans, I'm new on this forum, and glad to be here! Like many of you, I've been searching for the original RE intro actors, looking over many different forums, and the mystery has been fun to tackle for so long of a time . The most info I've uncovered actually came from this very forum, like the identity of Barry's original VA (Barry Gjerde), the possibilities about Inezh being Una Kavanagh/Wendy Rice/Michelle Yerger, etc.
    A while ago, someone posted this image of relatively unknown actress Michelle Yerger, which showed a comparison between Inezh and her:Click image for larger version

    I cannot confirm it's her, obviously, but her age rather fits that of Inezh's supposed age, based on the info from Shinji Mikami that she was only an unexperienced teenager back in 1995/1996, when the intro video was filmed. Apparently, the only way we could totally confirm or destroy the rumor that Yerger is Inezh is to find a photo of her from around the mid/late 90's. I could only find this profile of her on Classmates.com: http://www.classmates.com/people/Mic...ger/7277316820 . The profile features some photos of her class yearbook from 1998, but they can only be accessed by someone who is registered to this website, and since I'm not American, I cannot check this evidence for myself, so if anyone is interested in finding out, you could tell the rest of us

    Okay, I'll bite.

    I've seen a bunch of threads in the past about this. A lot of people are content with matching her to a few different pornographic actresses and even an Irish soap opera star. That picture does look a lot like her though, and if the "mugshot" date is accurate then the timeframe would definitely match up. It's bizarre how the cast of the original Biohazard are difficult to find. Only Barry seemed to be content or open about his role, mentioning it on his website.

    I could link to many threads but here's a pretty diverse one and makes for some good reading and ideas.

    ITT: Mysteries only us gamers care about The identity of "Inezh," portraying actress of Jill Valentine in the first Resident Evil game. Officially, she was a high school student with no prior acting experience. Mikami regretted having her on board once production started the shoot at the Tama River. "Inezh" frequently complained about the mosquitos and wished to wrap things up earlier. No one knows where she is now, but I'd be mighty interested to hear her reflect on her experience. Contrary to some rumors, Irish actress Una Kavanagh did not portray Jill, and when asked, she curtly replies, "No" to all inquiries.

      Okay seriously, hasn't anyone thought of the idea of asking Barry Gjerde himself if he knows the identity of the other RE actors???

        Very interesting read on that link, BiohazardFE. They mention Richter from Castlevania SOTN being voiced by the same actor as Chris from RE1, but it would seem that he didn't portray the live-action Chris as well, as in Barry Gjerde's case (who apparently did both the voice and the live-action of Barry). Very cool how several identities were discovered over the length of that thread
        Undead Sega, well that's a great idea, but I believe that someone has tried contacting him in the past but they haven't gotten any answer AFAIK. Rebecca's actress apparently was open to talking about the original Intro, but discussions broke down in that case as well, but she gave some clues about the actors years ago if I remember correctly.
        As I have said before, we could finally prove or disprove the Michelle Yerger theory about Inezh if someone has an account on Classmates.com and could watch her highschool yearbook picture here http://www.classmates.com/people/Mic...ger/7277316820 . Only that way we could see if her looks from the late 90's match those of Inezh in the RE intro, and then we could finally give up on this Michelle Yerger theory and move on with the hunt for the actors ).
        Thanks for the replies, guys!

          Judging from that picture on the right, it's looks like to me that everyone who was involved in the first RE game had led a messed up life !

            Yes, originalzombie, it's kinda weird and sad how some of them sort of ended up, but we're still interested in them, and some of them managed to keep on working in the video game industry in one form or another
            Mister 888, that could very well be true, but she could have also kept trying to get into the entertainment business, so it's also possible that she appeared in some other places, like this Michelle Yerger lady who has appeared in very very small roles in films like Miss Congeniality.
            That picture you posted is a rather recent one, not from the late 90's. There are some other photos on that website of her 1998 yearbook, and she certainly appears there, but I cannot access them as I am not registered. It would be great if anyone could provide some help with those photos So we can finally find out if the looks match with Inezh.

              I hope this thread doesn't end in more bickering and thread locking like the last one.

              Can someone confirm she was in Japan by 1995~96?

                I didn't know this was such a popular topic within the community. What do people plan on doing once all of the original actors are confirmed?

                I think Michelle Yerger's jawline is quite a bit wider than Inezh's. Their ears might be different too, but it's hard to tell. It's weird that they casted a young teenage girl to play a 23-year-old woman.

                  I prefer to not know, it kills the magic.

                  But, if you wan't to know, this seems to be a good idea:

                    The re1 shots are kind of deceptive they make her look rabbit teethed with a dimpled chin like Wendy Rice.

                    But in reality Inzeh doesn't.

                            Indeed. I find this search for her rather pointless.

                              For obvious and unobvious reason, I still very much think it is important for us to know.
