About Sam Head

My love of acting began after playing the title role of 'Bugsy' in 'Bugsy Malone' at the age of 6.  

I am now 15 years old and have been a student at Stagecoach for 6 years, and during this time I have learnt how to act, sing and dance.  

I started, professionally, in 2017 when I played the character of ‘Boy’ (a speaking role) in 'The Grapes of Wrath' at the Nuffield Theatre in Southampton. I was also given an extra role of narrator, where I needed to face the audience and say my lines in a southern American accent.  

Working on a huge theatre production such as this taught me the importance of teamwork. I learnt a lot from the cast and crew, and thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience.  

After my role in the theatre I went on to play the role of Henry in the professional short film, 'Beyond the Cosmos'. I instantly fell in love with film, and thrived on set. I have since gone on to act in many short films, have had TV appearances and internet presenting appearances.  

I think I am hard-working and incredibly determined. I've been told that I am very professional, which means a lot to me. I'm extremely grateful for every opportunity that comes my way.

Additional skills: 
I love practicing different accents. I am particularly good at American, Russian and a thick Scottish accent. I enjoy any new challenge of a new accent though. 

Additional information: 
I am very fortunate that I have the full support from my school with regards to time out due to performances and rehearsals, and a wonderful local council who can get a performance licence ready for me in under a week! I am completing my final year at school, and will be out of licensing in June 2022.
