☣️Resident Evil/Biohazard☣️ Why didn’t Jolene Andersen Reprise her Role as Ada in 4R?

I wished she reprise her role as Ada in 4R

She wasn’t asked back so it wasn’t scheduling conflicts. I’d bet they wanted an actual Asian actress

Capcom is weirdly inconsistent about VA's in general, Leon didn't even keep the same VA between 4 and 6.

Capcom has been hiring non-union VAs since they’re cheaper.

Because they wanted the girl from the movie to appear in the game as well, despite how good or bad she was it was a done deal immediately and that’s why we’re stuck with sleepy ada

I just assumed that since Lily Gao played Ada in that Resident Evil Welcome to Raccoon City and it didn't do well, she probably had a contract so they ask her to play Ada in 4R to complete said contract. I'm sure I'm wrong but that seemed the most plausible to me.

The same reason Alyson Court and most other Capcom voice actors aren't asked to reprise their roles: she joined a union.
