Q) What are the recent projects that you are working on?

A) Other than "Sanctuary," a Canadian series called "The Guard." I also have a small role in the Anne Hathaway and Patrick Wilson film called Passengers. I'm in negotiations now to hopefully shoot a movie in November. I can't tell you what it is yet until we work it out.

Q) Please tell us the premise for the show "Sanctuary" and about your character Henry Foss.

A) It's essentially a place of refuge for the things that go bump in the night and the things that you were told about as a kid like the boogie man, mermaids and creatures like Big Foot. They actually exist and we help them become productive members of society or we give them a place of solitude if they can't fit into society. If they are horrible and evil, we imprison them and study them. Henry is the tech-wise of the place. He builds all the weapons and he takes care of all the technology in the building. I think Henry does a bit of everything. Henry probably does all the plumbing, as well! Henry actually has some secrets of his own and has his own thing going on. Much likes most things in the Sanctuary, not everything is as it first appears.

Q) What made you want to be a part of the show?

A) It was the script. I am a big comic book fan and when I got the script and shot the Internet pilot, they asked me if I would be interested. I read it and I thought, "What a great idea! What a great thing to be a part of!" It's ground breaking and people aren't doing anything like this on television, not using a green screen the way we are. The storylines remind me of a graphic novel. Being inside a graphic novel adventure every day at work is like what every episode feels like. It is not your typical Sci-Fi genre. It's definitely got that graphic novel/comic book feel. There are some elements of the "X-Files" in there and there is some elements of X-Men in there. It's all really cool to me.

Q) What do you find challenging about your role?

A) I don't know if there is anything really challenging. There is the challenge of working with the green screen a lot. As far as the character of Henry, I really like the guy. He speaks his mind and I think there is a little bit of myself in Henry. There is probably more of me in Henry than I would like to admit. There was not a whole lot of challenges, but the crew that we work with (the writers, producers and the crew) is so amazing, encouraging and wonderful to work with that the challenges are pretty minor because I'm not facing them alone. I just have a good time when I'm at work.

Q) Where do you draw from for your portrayal?

A) I draw from some personal experience. The other thing is it is fun to play a character that has an interesting past and Henry definitely has an interesting past. We haven't seen it yet in the show, but it does get revealed half way through the season. That's always fun because it informs a lot of the decisions you would make as the character. That's kind of what is great about Henry. He's funny, sarcastic and all those things, but some of the funniest people have had the most intense lives. That's kind of Henry. He's definitely a very particular architect as far as even comic book characters go. So, I do draw from my experience as a comic book reader.

Q) Was there instant cast chemistry when you first came together or did it take some time to develop?

A) It was pretty instant, but it did get much, much deeper and develop into something more than even we had anticipated. We all clicked pretty immediately and I don't think we realized how close we were going to become, which we did by the end of the first season. We all became very, very close. We all still keep in touch. I was just talking to Robin Dunne, who plays Will Zimmerman last week. I might even go down and hang out with him. We definitely all bonded and connected on a deeper level than we thought we would. It's the same with all the producers, the writers and some of the crew. That whole environment was exceptional. I don't think anyone saw that coming. It definitely wasn't another day at the office. It was like if you had to wake up at five in the morning to go to work that didn't seem to be that big a deal because it was a fun and exciting place to be.

Q) Why do you think people will want to take their time to tune in and see "Sanctuary?"

A) I think there are a lot of things that people haven't seen before and they think that there is a lot of intriguing stories that are told in the Sanctuary environment. People haven't seen anything yet from what the show has shown so far. The show does consistently get better and better. By the end of the first season, it will have you on the edge of your seat. I think this show has characters that people can identify with and I think there are some characters that also create some controversy. There is definitely a lot that people have been talking about, the people that have been watching the show. There is definitely a lot of discussion going on, which is a really positive thing that people are actually reacting to the show. At the end of the day, it's just a fun ride. It crosses genres so anybody that is into any type of television show or any type of entertainment will get something out of "Sanctuary." If you are into the Sci-Fi genre or Sci-Fi books, even comedy or drama, there is something for everything with this show. I think that's what is appealing to everyone.

Q) Where can people go online to learn more about you?

A) A lovely young lady named Michelle, who lives in Australia, created a wonderful fan site that is http://www.ryanrobbinsfans.com. She's done an amazing job. She contacted me a few years ago saying she created a website for me and I was blown away. I don't have a website for myself because I think Michelle's website is unbelievable. There are videos from almost everything I've done. There is a message board that I check out from time to time and talk to people on. That's the site to go to if you are interested in knowing a little bit more about Ryan Robbins.

Q) What would you like to say to your fans and supporters?

A) Thank you so very much! I am literally living the dream! I wanted to do what I do for a living since I was twelve years old. It took me a long time to get there and I am just so grateful every day that I get to do this for a living. It's because of the fans. It's because people appreciate my work and want to see me in more projects that I get to do more projects. I am eternally grateful for that. If you've ever seen me out at a convention or anywhere that I am stopped on the street, please talk to me and come see me. I'm so happy to talk to fans and it is no trouble at all for me to take a few minutes out of my day and show my appreciation. I'm really, really grateful. Fans that I have met I think know that I love them and love to show that the appreciation and respect they deserve. Keep watching! Tell me what you don't like and tell me what you do like. Let's keep communicating!
