On the set of Resident Evil 2, the TV mini-series, Dean, all dressed up as rookie police officer Leon Kennedy stands back-to-back with the most hardcore second year lit major in the history of mankind, Claire Redfield. Claire dons a pair of Daisy Dukes, a sleeveless pink vest, and tan cowboy boots. On the back of her pink vest is a row of little golden bombs below the title, "Twisted Sister."
The two of them stand amidst a darkened city street littered with debris and surrounded by fire. Neither of them have weapons of any kind despite being smack dab in the middle of a bona fide zombie apocalypse.
In the background, "True" by Spandau Ballet plays from a tiny off-screen speaker.
"Doing anything after this?" Dean as Leon asks Claire over his shoulder, optimistically.
"None of your business," the actress playing Claire answers as Claire curtly, but not impolitely.
