Sam Witwer headlines the SyFy series Being Human (2011), 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 (2007), Frank Darabont's adaptation of the Stephen King novella. Two other independent features in which Sam stars were The Return of Joe Rich (2011), starring opposite Armand Assante and Talia Shire, and No God, No Master (2012) 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 (2004) and played Davis Bloom/Doomsday, the character fated to kill Superman, on CW's Smallville (2001). Star Wars fans and the gaming community will also recognize Sam as Darth Vader's vengeful apprentice, StarKiller", in the LucasArts video game sensations Star Wars: The Force Unleashed (2008) and Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II (2010). 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. Sam has also done extensive voice work for the fan-favorite Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2008), 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 (2006). Sam's edge perfectly complemented 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.
