On the SyFy Channel series "Being Human" he plays Josh, the overly-cautious, somewhat insecure werewolf trying desperately to hide in life's background in order to avoid revealing his secret. In real life his portrayer, actor Sam Huntington, couldn't be more the opposite.
In person, Huntington is funny, friendly, and generally seems to have a good time - all of the time.
Whether he is by himself or wreaking havoc during a Q&A session with his two co-stars, Sam Witwer and Meaghan Rath, Huntington makes it very clear that he loves his job, and his co-stars.
"Being Human" tells the story of three unlikely roommates: Josh, a hospital orderly who is also a werewolf; Aidan (Witwer), a fellow hospital employee who becomes Josh's closest friend on account of his own secret (vampire); and Sally (Rath), a displaced ghost who finds herself an unwanted - but then welcome - roommate to the guys when they move into the brownstone in which she died. What follows is an unlikely friendship between the three which turns out to be what is probably the most normal thing in their lives.
Huntington took a few minutes in-between greeting fans at this past weekend's Dragon*Con convention in Atlanta to speak about his love for the show, his character and co-stars.
"Being Human" airs on the SyFy Channel on Monday nights at 9pm. The second season will begin in January 2012.
