Scott Howard "The Wolf"

Scott Howard "The Wolf"
  • TV Show/Movie Appeared: Teen Wolf (1985)
  • Actor/Actress: Michael J. Fox
  • Position Portrayed: Point Guard
  • Played For:: Deacon Beaver H.S.
  • Why you should vote:: Michael J. Fox remained so likeable in what was a mediocre movie. Also, this is your only chance to vote for Fox, as he never did another sports related film.
  • Why you should not vote:: This was the least plausible role in sports cinema.
  • We really like Michael J. Fox, and chances are there are many of you out there who do to. Now, his lone sports related role as wallflower high school kid turned basketball star werewolf was not exactly Oscar worthy, but it was fun and still gets a lot of play on cable reruns. Fox may not have been the man who played as the “Wolf” (That was done by Loyola Marymount Freshman, Jeff Glosser) but did that really matter? What does matter is that for our purposes is that there is a significant amount of basketball in the film (some of which is plot related) and both Scott Howard and his alter ego as the “Wolf” had moments where they shined on the court and won the big game. Isn’t that what you expect from a sports themed movie?
