Sam Cassidy hails from Bournemouth, a charming coastal town in the United Kingdom, where he developed a passion for the performing arts that would eventually propel him to stardom. His breakout role came when he landed the part of 'Prince Theo' in the ABC drama series 'Guilt', a role that showcased his remarkable acting prowess.
However, Sam's creative talents didn't stop at acting. He is also a skilled writer, having penned the musical '27' (later re-titled 'MYTH'),a modern retelling of the ancient Greek myth of Orpheus and the underworld. This critically acclaimed production received rave reviews and was even transferred to the prestigious West End for a limited run, with the guidance of none other than the legendary Andrew Lloyd Webber.
But Sam's most notable achievement to date is his award-winning musical film 'Wait for Me', which he wrote and directed. Originally conceived as a stage production, the film was adapted due to COVID-19 regulations, and it went on to win the prestigious Standout Award at the Off West End Stage Awards. This remarkable achievement not only cemented Sam's reputation as a talented screenwriter but also launched him into the world of independent filmmaking.
Before embarking on his acting and writing career, Sam honed his skills at the esteemed Mountview Academy in London, where he studied film and media, as well as acting and music. His early years in the industry saw him juggling both stage and screen appearances while simultaneously working on his writing craft.
