Maggie Robertson had half of the Resident Evil Village fanbase quaking in their boots (and the other half salivating over a murderous 9-foot 7-inch vampire) in her role as Lady Dimitrescu, the 2021 horror sequel's main baddie. But Robertson was actually pretty new to games in general, so she used some of her Shakespeare experience to flesh out her character.
Speaking to EW as part of the Pixel Pack, a collective of video game actors organized by Astarion's Neil Newbon, Robertson explains that she hadn't grown up playing games and wasn't too familiar with the industry's nuts and bolts before stealing the show in Capcom's blockbuster. On IMDB, her only other game credits before Resident Evil Village were small voiced roles in Smite and Rogue Company.
