Actor Robin Dunne stars as forensic psychiatrist Dr. Will Zimmerman in the highly anticipated sci fi series Sanctuary.

A native to Toronto, Canada, Dunne immersed himself in the acting scene early on, attending Etobicoke School of the Arts, a performing arts high school. He got his first major television role playing the troubled son of Judith Light in Against their Will: Women in Prison which led to pivotal roles in other TV movies including Brother’s Destiny, Love and Betrayal: The Mia Farrow Story, A Husband a Wife and Lover, Codebreakers and Roughing It, in which he played a young Mark Twain alongside James Garner.

This year, Dunne also appeared in the film Jack and Jill vs The World alongside Freddie Prinze Jr. In 1998, Dunne landed a role in the John Woo produced blockbuster The Big Hit opposite Mark Wahlberg, Lou Diamond Phillips and Christina Applegate. Dunne’s feature films include Borderline Normal, The Skulls 2, The Snow Walker, Species 3 and Just Friends.  His television credits include roles on Manchester Prep, Dawson’s Creek and Dead Like Me.

In 2005, Dunne co-wrote two Nickelodeon films, Roxy Hunter and the Mystery of the Moody Ghost and Roxy Hunter and the Secret of the Shaman. These films spawned a successful franchise that has led to his co-writing the third and fourth installments in the series, Roxy Hunter and the Myth of the Mermaid and Roxy Hunter and the Horrific Halloween to be released later this year. He has also co-authored the novels for Penguin Books.

On stage, Dunne has performed his one-man show “Safe Place” at the Alley Workshop Theatre in Toronto, as well as at the Writer’s Week Festival in Listowel, Ireland.

Dunne also goes the distance athletically, having run the LA Marathon two times, as well as the Toronto Marathon.
