Samuel Small has already achieved so much in the business already having started so young.
His early credits include working Michael Bublé and Idina Menzel's music video "Baby It's Cold Outside" and with the RSC on "Matilda" in the West End directed by Matthew Warchus. All happening around the time he was a student at the prestigious Sylvia Young Theatre School.
Since then he has made appearances as:
- "Rob", regular role in So Awkward - BBC Bafta-Winning Series
- "Game of Thrones"
- Jack in "The Nest" - BBC, with Martin Compston (Line of Duty) and Sophie Rundle (Gentleman Jack and Peaky Blinders)
- "Nathaniel Martello" - "The Strays" - Netflix
- "Jake" - "Bonus Track", showcased at the London Film Festival, due for summer release this year
- Lead Part in short film "Screening Room" that we both worked on, directed by Abdullah Khan
Sam talks about starting out in the business at such a young age following, as previously mentioned, his time at Sylvia Young's school.
We discuss the rigorous schedule that he and his fellow performers faced in Matilda, performing up to five shows a week on some occasions, and how he landed a role in So Awkward.
As well as, where his journey has led him now, performing in lead roles as listed above and what other roles in the arts he'd like to move into in the future.
Keep an eye out for his short films and other feature projects coming to short film festivals and cinemas near you! More information can be found on his Instagram below:

Great chat about starting in the business as a child performer, how to find the best chauffeur and the need-to-knows for any parents that have children going into the industry.
