Samuel is an Australian actor and musician based in Sydney. As a young actor, Samuel featured in TV and online ad campaigns, such as The Line, Buzz Stop, Paddington Film Promotion, and McAfee TVC. He played a part in the Channel 9 crime drama, ‘Hyde and Seek,’ and has played lead roles in several short films.

After working full-time in 2018 as an outdoor educator, gaining outdoor recreation qualifications in high ropes, sailing, and other adventure activities, Samuel decided to quit and start acting again.

Music is another significant passion of Samuel’s; he performed in ‘Tosca’ (2013) and ‘Carmen’ (2014) with Opera Australia’s Children’s Chorus, and received a Distinction for his Grade 8 Trinity College London singing examination in 2017. Similarly, Samuel has achievements on the cello, including his Grade 6 qualification from the Australian Music Examinations Board. He also plays the banjo, but just for a bit of fun.

Samuel has a love for comedy and creativity that has inspired him to create his own content and develop a social media presence to connect with his audience. In 2018, Samuel and a friend started a podcast which quickly gained over a thousand listens, hundreds of fans, and even sponsorship. Since then, he has created his own social media video comedy channels that have earned him thousands of views across YouTube and Instagram.

Samuel remains an avid lover of adventure activities – from rigging bungee jumps with his mates, to completing over 128 skydives – and loves to push himself and his abilities.
