Austin Abrams on WHALEFALL and RESIDENT EVIL

The physical acting elements for both WHALEFALL and RESIDENT EVIL occurred on the same day by pure chance rather than design. He describes the experience as fun despite the characters facing living hell, noting that utilizing all available resources is enjoyable when these two projects happen to be so physical simultaneously. "It's fun to use everything that you have, like available to you... these two being so physical just kind of happened. It really was not a plan."
