Ryan Robins as Henry Fosse

Sanctuary (2007-present)

The werewolves in TV’s Sanctuary seem to share more DNA with Morph or a Pink Panther bendy toy than with wolves. They appear to have been moulded from Plasticine, and when they move they bound along like squirrels on a bouncy castle. It also looks like the FX guys never quite got around to putting final layer of fur texturing on them, leaving the cleaner’s four-year-old son to scribble some hair on with a crayon. Okay, so realistic fur is always a costly problem for CG FX guys, but Doctor Who managed to create a passable coat for a digital werewolf that appeared in one episode. Henry is a werewolf who’s a regular character in Sanctuary. You’d think they fork out a bit to cover him up. Notably, he spends a good 99% of the series in human guise. Wise choice. Keep it that way.
