As the oldest, Sam always felt like there was a lot of responsibility on his shoulders. His dad always instilled in him that hard work was the only way to get through in life and tried on many occasions to help Sam develop some good handy life and craft skills but decided against it after risking injury one too many times. It became clear this wasn’t Sam’s strongest skill and to save his fingers his father decided it was for the best. Sam’s head was always in the clouds, he was a big daydreamer. His dad then tried to get him to focus on his schooling which was definitely not a skill due to his dyslexia. One skill he was able to pick up was his love for guitar and celebrity impressions. It came so much quicker to Sam than a saw or writing ever did. Sam loved to sing and dance and found he could make a large amount of sounds just from his mouth. He just loved it and he was told he wasn’t half bad looking either.
In high school Sam met his sweetheart Penny. Sam found someone who just seemed to get him and keep his feet on the ground. They married young which may or may not have had anything to do with the up and coming Mayan apocalypse (not that he told Penny that) but Sam was very glad he found love before life came to an end. When it turned out that the world hadn’t ended Sam believed life would have been easy from then. He was married, could start his family life and settle down. No one told him that maybe life isn’t that straightforward.
It turned out life after high school and as a husband came with a lot of responsibility and while his wife seemed to have an idea for her life Sam was pretty clueless what to do. Life became really difficult financially. Sam tried numerous things to support his family. From using his looks modelling which he began to get some success from however he found the lifestyle hard and decided it wasn’t the path for him. One day getting coffee someone mistook him for Justin Bieber and he was filled with a brilliant idea. Hence the creation of his one man show The Justin Bieber experience. Sam would get hired for birthdays and events as a Justin Bieber impersonator and he was pretty good at it.
When Penny expressed her desire to finish nursing school Sam wanted to support her in fulfilling her dreams. So he started to expand his repertoire of acts and developed his voice acting skills along the way. It was during an awkward booking at a bachelorette party where he was performing as Justin that Sam was approached about taking his performance into the male stripping world. The tips alone were incredible and White Chocolate was born. With Penny’s blessing Sam put his effort into the profession and it gave them the stability while she studied.
Sam always wanted a family. So as they were getting older his desire to start was growing. He felt his time as White Chocolate was limited and Sam didn’t feel like he wanted to have that profession when he became a father. So he hung up his gold hot pants. That’s where his voice acting became his focus. He still does celebrity impersonations on the side but started voice acting and volunteering at the local hospital radio. He may not be academically gifted but with NYADA’s The Channing Tatum former male stripper grant, Sam was able to attend college and took up a voice acting course to hone his skills. While they haven’t been able to start a family Sam has adopted a dog called McConaughy who really is his fur baby and waits for the day they will be ready to start. He’s ready supportive of his wife activism and enjoys giving back and supporting those less fortunate than himself.
Sam struggles when bad things happen in his life. He has created an alter ego Evan who he often reverts to when needed. Evan is an Elvis Presley impersonator and Sam often refers to him as his smarter twin brother.
