History: Tommy Dawkins was a high school jock at Pleasantville High, the school's all-star football player. Out in the woods celebrating the start of his senior year, he was bitten by a werewolf. Though he survived the attack, he became infected with lycanthropy, and soon underwent his first transformation into a wolfman; luckily (unlike every other person seen to be infected) his basic good nature remained in control. Seeking help and unsure of who else to turn to, he sought the assistance of the school's biggest outcast, fantasy / horror obsessed Goth, Merton Dingle. Merton's encyclopedic knowledge of the supernatural (or at least, movies of same), has proven invaluable as Tommy has tried to both find a cure and protect his home from the continuous stream of supernatural threats which plague his home town.
Comments: Tommy was played by Brandon Quinn during the three seasons and sixty-five episodes of the series.

A Clip Show: The Sum Of All Fears
The last episode aired on 7th April 2002, with Tommy beginning college.
Merton, Tommy's best friend and closest ally, was played by Danny Smith. His initial love interest, cheerleader Stacy Hanson, was played by Rachel LeFevre. When Stacy left to become a professional cheerleader between first and second seasons, Tommy's got a new girl, reporter-wannabe and martial arts expert Lori Baxter, played by Aimee Castle. Lori soon learned of Tommy's condition, and became an eager helper with his adventures.
During the show's run, Tommy faced just about every supernatural threat conceivable, from mummies to werewolf slayers, from ghosts to evil werewolf guilds, from vampires to Corey Haim. He also met and defeated Dunleavy, the werewolf who created him.
