Samuel Allan

Biography

Samuel is half English half Cypriot. He fell in love with acting when he was just a kid performing in local stage productions.

As he got older he discovered he enjoyed acting in front of the camera even more.

At university in the U.K., Samuel studied a Bachelor’s Degree in Performance before moving to Spain to work professionally as an actor.

Living in different countries has offered him all kinds of opportunities to learn how the industry works internationally and to pick up new performance techniques.

For him, nothing beats the excitement of reading a new script and preparing for a role.

Aside from acting, he’s also passionate about writing scripts, and learning more about the production side of both Film and Theatre.

He also enjoys filling his weeks with Improv, Stand-up Comedy, Sketching and Cycling
