Must be shorter than the werewolf.

Should be clean shaven
at all times and have access
to plenty of fresh meat.

Has represented other
werewolves successfully.

Never tries to typecast him.

Offers to help finance
singing and dancing lessons.

Knows Stephen King, Steven
Spielberg, and Steven Seagal.

Pays for the Bloody Marys.
