| Robin Dunn (far right) plays Dr. Will Zimmerman on SyFy's Sanctuary |
One of my favorite shows right now is SyFy's Sanctuary. Its about a place called, funny enough, the Sanctuary where a team of individuals led by Helen Magnus (Amanda Tapping) help to protect the world's "abnormals" (warewolves, vampires, etc.). As a lover of all things fantasy and science fiction I absolutely adore this show. Another draw for me is that one of the main characters, Dr. Will Zimmerman played by Robin Dunn, just happens to be a psychiatrist (yes not technically a psychologist, but that can be overlooked...). Will's character serves largely as a way for the viewer to become acquainted with the Sanctuary world, as his is introduced to the Sanctuary in the opening season. Not only does Dr. Zimmerman serve as resident psychiatrist of the Sanctuary, he is also a very adept profiler - a skill which is often showcased through rapid flashes of a scene. A big draw is that despits his intelligence, he is not cocky. Rather Will often comes across as just a good natured guy, who happens to bag and tag "abnormals" for a living.
Still not convinced that Dr. Zimmerman's character deserves rank on great psychologists on tv? Here's episode 2 of the first season where Will show's off some nice psychology skills on a kid with a "unique" problem...
