Biography

Samuel Garnett is an actor with a deep curiosity for human behavior.

He leads the upcoming indie feature ‘Wolfbiter’ as ‘Jacob’, a man searching for forgiveness in the wake of an unspeakable act of violence. Garnett also serves as Executive Producer on the project.

Samuel can also be seen as ‘Dobby’ in the harrowing thriller ‘VIRAL’, directed by and starring Blair Underwood alongside Sarah Silverman and Alfre Woodard. Garnett brings raw, unsettling depth to a teenager navigating bipolar disorder and autism - a young man who struggles to make sense of his own actions as their consequences reverberate through the people around him.

He also stars in ‘Twenty-Five Cents Per Minute’, an anthology film for Wayfarer alongside Elsie Fisher, Ravil Isyanov, Julieth Restrepo, and Shoniqua Shandai.

On the stage, Samuel made his LA debut as ‘Kevin’ in the sold-out premiere of Will Arbery’s Pulitzer Prize-nominated ‘Heroes of the Fourth Turning’ presented by Rogue Machine at the Matrix Theatre - a performance that earned him a Best Actor award from LA Theater Bites. Most recently, he played ‘Hastings’ in A Noise Within’s production of ‘Richard III’.

Prior to his LA theatre work, he toured as ‘Eddie’ in ‘Man Down’, which premiered at the Edinburgh International Fringe Festival, and made his Off-Broadway debut at The Vineyard Theater in the national tour of ‘Nap the Play’.

Samuel is a graduate of the California Institute of the Arts and was born and raised in Las Vegas, Nevada. Represented by Mavrick Artists Agency and Endorse Management Group in Los Angeles.
