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.

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.

Excellent! I loved him in Batman Begins, so I'm sure he'll do great as Greyback!

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.

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.

He might look fine for a werewolf when he's on the set. Y'know the make up and all...

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

I think he's a good cast for the role. Costume and Make-up can do wonders!

Omg. He looks PERFECT. That last photo screams Fenrir to me.
And he isn't bad-looking either... *wiggles eyebrows* X] | |
