Jude Thomas Magical Games & Sports | I suppose. I always thought Greyback was a bit thinner. And by a bit I mean a lot.
EDIT: Nevermind. I found his description in HBP:
" Do it," said the stranger standing nearest Harry, a big, rangy man with matted gray hair and whiskers, whose black Death Eater's robes looked uncomfortably tight."
-HBP (p 593, US Edition)
And according to his IMDB he's not doing it. But it could just not be up-to-date yet.

Isaac Belko Minister's Office | Terrified of my Tag Rawr!!! Yeah, I don't usually picture characters very precisely... But I didn't think he'd be so very strong.
He just doesn't look like a werewolf.
Edit: Well... It does follow the description then.
Maybe in his costume, and make-up.

Graduated | Ace I always figured he'd be strong. Look at the quote Antwone Thomas just found, and given the fact that Fenrir's robes were too tight on him, it suggests that he was a pretty muscular guy. |

Hogwarts RPG Name: Tobe Deiter Mined First Year Special Ops | Snape is my man! ♥Melita's Sweetheart♥ Personally, I think he doesn't look...werewolf-ish enough. I dunno. It might work.
I still think Bill Nighy should have played Fenrir. But at least they are including Fenrir at all. |

Graduated | Ace Antwone Thomas, don't worry about IMDb; they're usually very slow when it comes to HP movie casting. |
