Kenneth Edward Lally, also known artistically as Ken Lally and best known for his works on several Resident Evil games, has passed away on October 10th, 2023 at the age of 52, may he rest in peace. His co-star, Karen Dyer (artistically known as Eva La Dare), who did the voice for Sheva Alomar on Resident Evil 5, shared the news through her Twitter account:

​

Ken Lally's work was primarily as a voice actor with an extended resume on video games, having credits in franchises like Battlefield, Call of Duty, Dead Rising, Wolfenstein, and many others, with his last credited work being a voice actor for Spider-Man: Miles Morales, but his most prominent roles for some were his contributions to the Resident Evil franchise, where he provided the motion capture stunts for Albert Wesker on Resident Evil 5, and some motion capture work for the remakes of Resident Evil 2 & 3, as well as voice acting for both games too, giving life to the voice of Robert Kendo.

I wanted to make a joke about Wesker but I feel like that would be disrespectful.

But man, it's sad seeing someone with a decent (And very iconic in my eyes) career pass away so soon. My condolences go to the Lally family and his coworkers.

Always sad to hear of someone that was essentially 'unknown' but simultaneously 'known' by so many to pass away.

...and only 52!!? Jeez, that's the same age as me

There are WAY MORE famous people who passed away too soon. Talk about Xxxtentacion, for example...

My condolences to his fam and friends. May he rest in piece. RE is not everyone cake, but as someone who loves the series and played most games in the series. This is heartbreaking to hear. Thank you for everything you did for the series and may your legacy live on!

Frankly, I don't really care about Resident Evil, and I don't know anything about this guy. I'm just sad that he passed away so young... but I'm not gonna let that ruin my day.
