Between Forspoken and the new Resident Evil show, Balinska has ample opportunity to become a major contributor to the video game industry for years to come. Square Enix and Luminous Productions tapping her to lead its mysterious new isekai-style game Forspokencertainly speaks to excitement about her talents, as does word that she'll star in an upcoming Netflix show based on Resident Evil. In Forspoken, players follow the journey of Frey Holland, whose voice and likeness stem from Ella Balinska of Charlie's Angels fame.īalinska is considerably younger than the likes of Esposito and Reedus, and so she's had less time to establish a film career, but she has seen a rapid rise to stardom in the last few years. Forspoken aims to be another game starring a notable person from film. Before that, Kojima Production's Death Stranding featured a star-studded cast composed of major figures in the film industry including Norman Reedus, Mads Mikkelsen, and Guillermo del Toro. Just last year, Giancarlo Esposito drummed up a ton of publicity for Far Cry 6 through his intimidating performance as Anton Castillo. Mainstream actors seem to grow more and more interested in video game work as the years go by.
