Acting
Sam can most recently be seen in ITV’s much-anticipated new comedy series PIGLETS, created by the team behind the BAFTA-winning series GREEN WING.
In 2023, Sam was 1/4 of the cast in the new play One Way Out, which won the 2023 EDINBURGH UNTAPPED AWARD, and was described by FEST MAG as, ‘A poignant tale of resilience and resistance - ★★★★’.
Prior to this, Sam played a recurring role in the second series of ITV police drama, DI RAY. He also wrote for and performed in the topical sketch show NEWSREVUE.
Born and raised in Ipswich, Sam came up through the New Wolsey Theatre’s Young Company and co-created NICE GUYS which played in PULSE Festival before going off to FOR/WITH/BY Festival at Birmingham Rep. He then went on to train at ALRA and is based in London. Sam is also a talented beatboxer and creates his own comedy content online.
