Ever wondered what it's like to be part of a huge Netflix show production? Our artist today is actor and singer Sam Otto, who plays John Osweiller in the hit Netflix dystopian drama, Snowpiercer.
Sam studied at Drama School London, but left his course early to perform in Richard Wilson’s ‘Fracked!’ at Chichester Festival Theatre. He then secured the lead role in Peter Kosminsky’s explosive drama, ‘The State’, in which 4 young British citizens journey to Syria to join ISIS. The show went on to receive a BAFTA nomination in the miniseries category.
In this episode we talk about finding your voice when working on a big studio tv production as a relative newcomer, maintaining a creative practice outside the ‘job’, how Sam is navigating how to make the most of his colour and race when auditioning for roles, without being defined by it... and so much more.
We loved meeting Sam and felt really honoured at how candidly he shared with us about his acting journey.
