Sam and I discuss his early years as a dancer then becoming an actor, his time in Phantom and how shows such as this have a global impact on their audiences. In addition, from his discussions with upcoming actors, how to keep the faith during dry spells and how to keep going!

Thanks Sam, really enjoyed it!
