Sam Banaee

A native Floridian with NFL aspirations, Sam's curiosity for the craft of acting was ignited in high school when he took an elective in drama. After pursuing a degree & football at FSU, he moved to NYC to study acting at the Terry Schreiber Studio while working as an adman. He also completed The Upright Citizens Brigade Improv core training program. He likes to play characters that attack life as if they've been in the boxing ring since they were in diapers. The roguish action star with a murky moral compass, the flirty love interest, the underdog that everyone spits on, but crosses the finish line first. Sam stays fit by hitting the boxing bag & cruising around town on his board, always in search of a refined cup of joe.
