Jed, the best actor in the movie:

This is a movie I watch almost every year, when the there is a snowstorm or bitter cold temperatures outside. Every time I watch this classic film, I always think Jed (the name of the wolf/malamute) is the best actor of the bunch. He really made me believe he wasn't who he seemed. Creepy and clever walking on all fours.

I agree! That dog was E.V.I.L! Good acting on the dogs part epescially when he would go to a room and just stair blankly and disappear before being seen. Also when he was let into the kennel.

Rumor has it, his stunt double did many of his scenes and Jed stole the credit.
