2D Character In 3D World

Hi I’m new to Unreal Engine and I was wondering if it is possible to render the player character as a 2D sprite in a 3D game world? I have created a simple project and recreated the click to move mouse controls from the top down example and now I wish to render the player with a sprite rather than a 3D skeletal mesh.

Does anybody have any idea if/how this could be done?

Thanks
