Samuel Lawrence was born and raised in the seaside town of Weston-super-Mare, in the south West of England. He became enthralled with acting upon being cast as Aladdin at an early age in the Cub Scout pantomime and after finding it as a way to overcome his childhood shyness, he never looked back. Once 18, he pursued professional training and graduated 3 years later from Mountview Academy of Theatre Arts, London, with a 3 year BA in Acting. Since this time he has been working as an Actor and Director on both Stage and screen and carving out a niche for himself as an expert at creating and exploring intense and often troubled characters.
