Oh, Frank! Oh, Frank! How can you even show me crap like this? Y'know, I really don't think you're cut out for stuff like this. Oh, I cannot stop laughing!
~ Kent, on criticizing Frank's photography.

Kent Swanson is a major antagonist in the video game Dead Rising, the first installement of the Dead Rising series.

He was a photographer who was incredibly jealous of Frank West's photography skills and a rival towards him. Despite not taking Frank seriously at first, once Kent realized Frank was a much better photographer then he was, he was willing to go to great lengths to prove himself better, even at the cost of infecting a man named Tad Hawthorne while taking a picture of the exact moment of his zombification.

He was then stopped by Frank and Kent spent his dying moments asking Frank to take a picture of him because it would "look great on his mantle", but Frank just threw away the camera with disgust and Kent finally died from his wounds.

He was voiced by Marty Belafsky.

Biography[]

He offered to model for Frank and challenged him to take better photos than the ones he took. If Frank failed to photograph Kent as he requested, he will fail this scoop and Kent will not be encountered again.

If you meet him, you can kill Kent in his first or second mission. If you attack him, he will say "H-hey! Cut that out! I'm a pacifist!" But if you kill him, you can take his handgun, and it will say 'KENT SWANSON IS DEAD" across the screen. This prevents him from ever showing up again, and you get a handgun.

Kent then challenges Frank to get a better picture then the three that he just showed Frank and asks him if he is up for the challenge. Frank says "yeah" then the two go their separate ways. Frank can either take a picture of Jessie while she is sitting next to Brad's unconscious body, or he can take a picture of Sophie Richards while she is sitting on the floor in the security room. Kent then looks at either of the pictures with a look of disdain and challenges Frank to one more contest and tells Frank to be at Colombian Roastmasters at noon and that is where they will settle their rivalry.

If Frank failed to show up before noon on the 21st, Kent will reveal that he has already shot his desired photo, showing Frank a picture of Tad with a parasite crawling into his mouth. He then pointed his gun at Frank's head and stripped him of his clothes and weapons. After declaring that a photograph of Frank being killed will bring him to the top, Kent attacked Frank.

After he was defeated, Kent requested Frank to take a picture of him as he died, saying "It'll look good on your mantle." Frank refused and tossed Kent's camera away in disgust as the fallen photographer died.

In Chop Till You Drop, Kent, alongside Cliff Hudson and Jo Slade, appear as special zombies instead. He can attack Frank with his jump kick, fire his handgun, or throw a grenade.
