Aryana Engineer is a Canadian child actress who made her debut in the 2009 horror film Orphan. In 2012 she stars, alongside Milla Jovovich, as Becky in Resident Evil: Retribution, the fifth movie in the franchise.
Engineer was born on March 6, 2001 in British Columbia, Canada. She was born partially deaf. In 2007, she was discovered when she was spotted using sign language with her mother. The neighbor who discovered her was an agent, who suggested Aryana for the role of six year old Maxine "Max" Coleman in the film Orphan (2009). The neighbour knew producers for the upcoming film were searching all over America for a blond-haired girl who knew how to sign, and decided to take action. In the script of Orphan, Maxine Coleman was described as unimaginably cute.
After the release of Orphan, Aryana took part in a commercial for the 2010 Winter Olympics that was being held in Canada. She also represented Canada with her brother at the 2010 Paralympic games opening ceremony, welcoming the viewers with the use of sign language. In September 2012, Resident Evil: Retribution was released to the public. In the film, Aryana plays a deaf girl named Becky who builds a mother-daughter relationship with the main character Alice (Milla Jovovich). According to Jovovich, an actor or actress to play Ben/Becky had not been intended to have impaired hearing.Throughout the film, Becky appears around two versions of her mother.
