Looks like American actor, David Keith


Shawn Roberts is the splitting image of 1980s American actor, David Keith.

David Keith was the main character in the underrated 1982, "Lords Of Discipline".
Keith also played a supporting role in the Stephen King thriller, "Fire Starter", from the mid-80s.

In Resident Evil, Shawn Roberts is completely unrecognizable.

Shawn Roberts looks like he could be the brother of the actor who plays the ill-fated bridge navigator on STAR TREK: FIRST CONTACT (1996).

Haha at first I thought you said Keith David. All I thought was his line from Requiem For A Dream. "I know it's pretty baby, but I didn't take it out for air..."

But yeah, all that aside, I thought he was a great Wesker. I've been a fan of the games since the first one in 1996 (bought a PS1 just for that game) and for the past 13 years my wife has watched me play everything from RE:Remake to RE6, and we both agreed this dude nailed Wesker. Some other characters capture the attitudes, some have the look, and some have both. This dude for sure has both in my opinion. And for those out there who say his acting as Wesker is choppy, and terrible just remember Wesker in the original games. He was voiced-over. Drawn out words and hand gestures to match the original Japanese voices. THAT Wesker was terrible, but still awesome.
