*thanks soooo much, April, for this yummy pic!* Thanks, Bianca, for all the help.
Talking to Brandon Quinn (Tommy) about the show, he comments:
"I learned so much doing the show, although it wasn't easy.... there's that wolf makeup.... I have really sensitive skin and was coming to work with my skin peeling off my face and terrible rashes in the beginning. I even had an allergic reaction to a facial I was given because of the glue I'd been exposed to. It wasn't my favorite part of the job, even though it looks very cool."
His favorite episode is "Game Over" featuring Dirk Stryk'em, a huge video game character which comes to life and threatens to wipe Tommy out. Plus, playing Evil Tommy in the episode "Big Bad Wolf" gave Brandon an opportunity to really try out his acting skills.
Danny Smith (Merton Dingle in the series) wrote and sang the theme tune for the show. Danny and Brandon immediately hit it off and formed a close friendship during filming.
"I really like Merton," Danny says, "He's a quirky, goofy guy who clings to the Gothic way of life in order to escape from being an outcast. Goth is a cool world and Merton is very uncool... until Tommy's werewolf comes along and changes his world. Meeting Tommy and befriending him is Merton's dream come true."
"For me, Merton is all about his hair! At first, it was a fuzzy nest that became what we now refer to as The Crown, basically a cool, spiky look."
As for his favorite episodes, Danny jumps at one in particular, "It's 'Interview with the Werewolf' where Merton gets to age 100 in stages - it involved four hours to do the makeup. It's a slow ageing process and involved different acting at each stage. Plus, I also enjoyed any episode where I got to kiss a girl!"
This quirky comedy follows the adventures of Tommy Dawkins, the high school jock who has just become a werewolf. A colorful cast add to the action, including his Goth best friend, his cheerleader girlfriend, couch potato brother and many more.
