InLife Is Strange: Double Exposure, we get to see Max Caufield again as a full-grown adult, having to make full-grown adult choices. After spending years traveling and honing her photography skills, she’s settled down in Lakeport, Vermont as Caledon University’s artist-in-residence.
In this new adventure we get to meet all of Safi’s new friends, students (cause our girl is teaching seminars now!), and possible enemies. And now, it’s time to get acquainted with the all the beautiful people who bring these characters to life.
1Max Caulfield
Played By Hannah Telle
Max Caufield, our main character, has grown up and is now a full-time photographer for Caledon University. Though she still holds onto a lot of trauma from Arcadia Bay, she is able to meet life head-on with all of her loveable quirkiness.
And they can’t bring Max back without also bringing back the lovely Hannah Telle, who also played Max in the first Life Is Strange game. Aside from playing Max in Life Is Strange, she’s also a musician with two full albums, she’s also voiced Iris Campbell and Rose Campbell in Murdered: Soul Suspect, and has recently graduated from the University of Southern California as a Neuroscience major.

Played By Olivia AbiAssi
Max’s new bestie is the beautiful Safiya Llewellyn-Fayyad, daughter of Caledon University’s president, and a liberal arts major. While Max’s passion lies in capturing the right photo, Safi puts all of her love, anger, and sadness into her poetry.
The actress lending her voice to Safi is the equally lovely Olivia AbiAssi.This half-Lebanese actress fell in love with acting at a young agewhen she played the Magical Spoon in Beauty and The Beast. Since graduating from the University of Oklahoma she’s gotten work in various plays, commercials, and video games.
3Moses Murphy
Played By Stephen “Blu” Allen
The adorkable Moses Murphy is Caledon’s resident astrophysicist and geek, as well as Safi and Max’s best friend. His love of life and innocence make him the most loved character in the entire Life Is Strange cast.

4Amanda Thomas

Amanda isn’t a student or a teacher at Caledon, but is the cute owner of the Snapping Turtle, the on-campus restaurant and bar where everyone hangs out when they’re not in class or studying. After Safi’s death in Chapter 1, Amanda is the first one to bring a smile to Max’s face with some home cooked food and her charming attitude.
Giving her life is actress Samantha Bowling from Commerce Township, Michigan. Samantha received her B.G.A. in Musical Theatre from The University of Tampa with a Minor in Dance, but has also been studying voice, various styles of dance, and acting over the years.
5Diamond Washington
Played By Ilaseia Gray
Student activist Diamond Washington is a force to be reckoned with on Caledon’s campus. She’s extremely driven and outspoken about what she wants and is not above taking people down a peg or two if they deserve it. She can be seen often on campus with her bestie, Reggie, or plotting to take Vinh Lang’s Abraxas crown.
Ilaseia Gray is a lot like Diamond in that her passions drive her to succeed in all things, whether it be in acting or activism. She loves the stage, and she uses her talents to advocate for others, and encouraging other black youth to use their own voices and advocate for themselves.
6Reggie Kagan
Played By Jake Cuddemi
Reggie Kagan is like everyone’s little brother at Caledon. He’s lovable, clumsy, and, according to Max, a great photographer. Reggie, like many people, suffer from self-esteem and doubts himself a lot, but his friend Diamond is always able to lift his spirits.

7Yasmin Fayyad
Played By Bahr Dawoud
Yasmin Fayyad, voiced by Bahr Dawoud, is the president of Caledon university and fiercely protective of her daughter Safi, to a fault, even. Her overprotective nature eventually led to Safi developing her shapeshift powers because the only time she felt like she could be herself is when she wasn’t herself.
As far as we know, Yasmin is the only voiceover acting role that Bahr Dawoud has had, but their voice serves to give life to the President of Caledon University.
8Vinh Lang
Played By Sam Oguma
Charismatic Vinh Lang is the head of the Abraxas Society and administrative assistant to Yasmin Fayyad, the university’s president.

Vinh’s voice actor is Sam Oguma, an actor, bartender, writer, and University of Northern Colorado currently living in Chicago.
9Gwen Hunter
Played By Rachel Crowl
