Kennedy ( Avan Jogia) lead the way with Donal Logue appearing as Chief Irons and chewing all the scenery he can find (his first scene plays like he might think he's in a parody of bad cop movies). The inhabitants of the RPD will be familiar to players and even fans of the Anderson movies: Chris Redfield ( Robbie Amell), Jill Valentine ( Hannah John-Kamen), Albert Wesker ( Tom Hopper), and Leon S.
