Sam Witwer headlines the SyFy series, Being Human, the U.S. adaptation
of the popular British television series. The darkly humorous,
provocative drama stars Sam as the heroic, "Aidan", a sensual and
brooding vampire. His excellent work was noticed soon after the show's
premiere, as Sam received a Gemini Award nomination for Best
Performance by an Actor in a Continuing, Leading Dramatic Role in 2011.
Feature film fans remember Sam as the sacrificed "Wayne Jessup" in The
Mist, Frank Darabont's adaptation of the Stephen King novella. Two
independent features in which Sam stars await release: The Return of
Joe Rich, starring opposite Armand Assante and Talia Shire and No God,
No Master starring with David Strathairn and Edoardo Ballerini.
A favorite in the science-fiction world, Sam began his career in the
memorable role of "Lt. Crashdown" in SyFy's Battlestar Galactica and
played "Davis Bloom/ Doomsday", the character fated to kill Superman,
on CW's Smallville. Star Wars fans and the gaming community will also
recognize Sam as Darth Vader's vengeful apprentice, "StarKiller" in the
LucasArts' video game sensation Star Wars: The Force Unleashed (Parts
One and Two). Through high-tech digital referencing and motion capture,
Sam has become the voice and face of this LucasArts' creation in which
the first title grossed over 500 million dollars. Sam has also done
extensive voice work for the fan-favorite Clone Wars, the animated
series airing on the Cartoon Network. Working opposite Jon Favreau and
Clancy Brown as the voice of "Darth Maul" on Clone Wars, Sam received
recognition with an Annie Award nomination for Best Voice Acting in an
Animated Television/ Broadcast Production in 2012. Outside of sci-fi,
audiences remember Sam in his recurring role of "Neil Perry" on the
Emmy winning Showtime series Dexter. Sam's edge was a perfect
compliment to the ground-breaking series in its first season.
A Chicago native and a Juilliard-trained actor, Sam is also an
accomplished musician who performed in the LA music scene with his
band, The Crashtones.
