Where Was Netflix’s ‘Resident Evil’ Series Filmed?

Reddick is no stranger to the sci-fi genre. But getting to portray multiple versions of Albert (the character turns out to be one clone of many) in Resident Evil was a unique experience. 

“As an actor, you always want to do something different, and that was one of the reasons why I was so drawn to this, is because, well, I haven’t played a guy like this before, and I really want to do that,” Reddick told Collider.

“But you’re always looking to play something different and unique,” he added. 

“So having a character that has so many different facets, it’s almost like getting a bunch of different jobs in one job.” 

Resident Evil is currently streaming on Netflix.
