Paul W. S. Anderson often hires his wife, Milla Jovovich, for his movies, like in the Resident Evil saga, where she plays Alice, the cult character, in all six films. Milla, who appeared in all six movies, got the biggest credit from Anderson. That strong relationship between the couple makes up the flavorful individuality of the series. Beyond Resident Evil, Milla was cast in Anderson's The Three Musketeers (2011) and in Resident Evil: Retribution (2012), where she showcased her immaculate teaming in action-oriented acting roles.
