Originally from Nebraska, Chuck Sams graduated from SCAD with a BFA in Acting and minors in Casting and Dramatic Writing and as a cast member of the 2026 SCAD Acting Showcase.

Whether it is a rambunctious comedy or a cutting drama, Chuck Sams channels his authenticity, deep emotional well, and quick wit. He is contagiously flamboyant, dedicated to the craft.

He has since made New York City his home and is currently working as an assistant to Todrick Hall on his Off-Broadway musical, Midnight. You can see him this fall in the Secret Theatre’s King Lear. He is also a writer, stand-up comedian, and has a passion for politics. He fills spare time with cooking and baking – his focaccia makes the Italians quake, and his carrot cake is a favorite of Bugs Bunny. Trust, it’s good.
