Resident Evil 5 – the next installment in the hugely popular Capcom franchise will feature the talents of a young Aussie actress – Michelle Van Der Water.

Van Der Water’s likeness has been used as a model for the game’s new star – Sheva Alomar – a special agent and firearms specialist.

The game is set for release in October 2008. Van Der Water who moved from Wollongong to LA five years ago to pursue her acting dreams was excited to become a part of the franchise, which has digitised her image for use as the character.

“It was very exciting… I was pretty pleased. It came out really well.” Says Van Der Water.
