Introduce Yourself : I am Sam by Sam Lucas Smith

Hi everyone,

Thought I'd introduce myself.

I'm an Irish actor and I have just been awarded a green card after petitioning as an actor. Hugely stressful process, so I'm very happy it worked out. I'll be moving to LA in the New Year!

I trained at a theater focused drama school and I recently graduated with a Master's Degree in Screenwriting from the National Film School. Going forward, I'm looking to develop my own material and continue working as an actor in the US.

If you get a chance, you can view my showreel at https://vimeo.com/220719458 and my IMDB profile can be accessed at http://www.imdb.com/name/nm3929508

I recently won Best Supporting Actor for my work as Abel in the US feature film 'Imperfect Sky' and my leading work includes the part of Edwin in the IFTA award winning and EMMY nominated series ‘Vikings’ and a host of roles in popular BBC drama productions such as 'Waterloo Road' and 'Casualty'.

I star alongside TONY Award winning actor Jim Norton in TV3's 6-part drama 'Deception' and my upcoming work includes the Irish thriller feature film 'Killers Within' and the upcoming independent comedy feature 'Dub Daze'.

My previous featured work includes Peter J.McCarthy's multi-award winning 'Hunters Fall', which had its debut screening at the Galway Film Festival and went on to win numerous awards, including the Flyway Film Festival's Founder Award; the independent comedy time-travel feature film 'Timeless Man, winner of two Underground Cinema awards and the Boston Science Fiction Film Festival Award; the BBC WWII drama 'My Mother and Other Strangers', starring Ciaran Hinds and Aaron Staton and the investigative thriller feature 'A Dark Reflection', which premiered at the Cannes Film Festival.

Happy to be here, and hopefully catch some of you when I'm back in LA.
