Notes & Trivia



 * Matt Addison is the only character from Resident Evil who is fully identified by both first and last name.


 * It is possible that Matt Addison may not be his real name. While it is known that he had crafted forged credentials identifying him as a member of the Raccoon City Police Department, it is unclear whether or not he had assumed an alias. As such, it also remains unclear whether his sister's last name is also Addison.


 * As with the regular T-Virus infectees, the Nemesis B.O.W. is capable of maintaining some small measure of memory, as first implied by the Red Queen artificial intelligence. It is this trace memory that enabled the Nemesis to side with Alice and Jill Valentine against Umbrella Security Service forces.


 * Scenes of Matt Addison from Resident Evil were recapped for the opening prologue to Resident Evil: Apocalypse. However, actor Eric Mabius was not involved in the production of this film.


 * Matt Addison is one of two main characters from Resident Evil to survive to the end of the film. The other is Alice.


 * Playing the role of the Nemesis Addison is Matthew G. Taylor's sixth film role (not counting television movies).
