100 Things You Never Knew About Resident Evil
75. Taz's Surprising Voice Actor
Whilst we're on the subject of Resident Evil's most famous zombie, it's generally believed that Shinji Mikami is the man behind the moan.
Developers of the original game have long since confirmed that they portrayed the hapless victims of the t-Virus in the first Biohazard, which would've been a lot easier and a lot cheaper than hiring actors. If one was to dig into the files of the PC port of the game, it's possible to see each piece of audio's file name with zombie noises marked as "Z_MIKA01" for example representing, of course, Mikami-san.
So next time an RE1 zombie takes a bite out of your neck, consider that the fact that it might be the game's director.
