Who is this guy?

Does anyone know, who is this guy from the Red Alert teaser?

 

 

Looks like some russian general... Also are there any beta-RA1 screenshots or footage? In teaser it looks like they used a sexier mouse cursor (similar to dune 2000)

That's General von Esling. An Allied General.

But he doesn't look like von Esling... Did they use another actor?
