Biography

Benedict Samuel, a multifaceted individual, burst onto the scene on April 15, 1988, in Australia, a country that would serve as the perfect backdrop for his future growth and development of a diverse range of skills and talents. As he navigated the complexities of his early years, he demonstrated a natural aptitude for the performing arts, quickly rising to prominence in the realm of acting, where his exceptional abilities would earn him widespread recognition and acclaim. However, Samuel's talents did not stop there, as he also dedicated himself to the development of his skills as a writer and director, a trifecta of talents that would ultimately cement his status as a triple threat in the entertainment industry.

Noted for his captivating on-screen presence, actor Robin Lord Taylor embarked on a memorable journey through the realm of television, leaving an indelible mark on the popular Fox crime series Gotham, where he embodied the enigmatic and complex character of Jervis Tetch, alias the Mad Hatter. This multifaceted persona, oscillating between refinement and lunacy, presented a tantalizing paradox that captivated audiences and critics alike, with Taylor's masterful interpretation garnering widespread acclaim.

Samuel's professional endeavors extend far beyond his notable contributions to the esteemed television series Gotham, as he has also made significant appearances in the highly acclaimed AMC production, The Walking Dead, where he brought to life the captivating character of Owen, further solidifying his reputation as a versatile and talented actor.
