Sanctuary, which originally started as a web series on Syfy.com, is shot almost entirely on green screen. The show follows Dr. Helen Magnus, played by Amanda Tapping (
Stargate SG-1;
Stargate: Atlantis) and her team, including Dr. Will Zimmerman (
Cruel Intentions 2;
The Skulls II), as they use their unique skills to help beings that lay outside of the realm of what most people consider normal. Some abnormals pose no threat, while others need to be kept away from humanity.
The series also stars Ryan Robbins (
Battlstar Galactica;
Riese) as tech Henry Foss and Christopher Heyerdahl (
Stargate: Atlantis;
The Twilight Saga: New Moon) as John Druitt.
This October,
Sanctuary enters it's fourth season with the episode "Tempus." The season boasts great guest stars, both new and returning, including Gil Bellows (
