Samuel was born and raised in the coastal town of Port Macquarie on the New South Wales Mid North Coast. From an early age, he always had a love for performing, predominantly through music.

Samuel studied at the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts (WAAPA), graduating from the three-year Bachelor course in 2016. Upon graduating, he made his professional stage debut playing Andy in The 78-Storey Treehouse (CDP Theatre Producers), touring nationally in 2018. He reprised his role as Andy in the national tour of The 91-Storey Treehouse (CDP Theatre Producers) which was nominated for 'Best Production for Children' at the 2021 Sydney Theatre Awards.

Since then, Samuel has been a part of productions such as Heathers: The Musical (The Mitchell Old Company), Three Winters Green (Lambert House Enterprises) and Relative Merits (Lambert House Enterprises). 

Most recently, Samuel performed alongside The Metropolitan Orchestra in their Cushion Concert series and is currently performing with CDP Theatre Producers in Are We There Yet?.
