Lucky episode number 6! In this weeks episode, we were so stoked to be able to talk to our friend and fellow WAAPA grad Sam Corlett. Sam has shot to success since graduating a few years ago, and on this ep we got to chatting about why Sam’s tight-knit family has inspired his career, the importance of taking care of your mind as an actor (and a human!), and what life on an international set has been like. A little bit about Sam: Sam graduated from Western Australia Academy of Performing Arts (WAAPA) in 2018.
Shortly after graduating from WAAPA, Sam was cast as “Young Luke” in Robert Connelly’s feature film adaptation of best selling novel THE DRY, produced by Bruna Papandrea and starring Eric Bana and Genevieve O’Reilly. Following this he played “Prince Caliban” in the final two seasons of Netflix original television series CHILLING ADVENTURES OF SABRINA, starring Kiernan Shipka and Miranda Otto. Sam has recently been announced as the series lead in the Vikings spinoff series VIKINGS: VALHALLA starring as Leif Eriksson.
Alongside his acting career, Sam is also a visual and creative artist. He recently designed a limited edition men’s jewellery capsule “Corlett Exclusives” in collaboration with the brand Merchants Of The Sun. All pieces feature hand-drawn symbols by Sam and all profits of this range are donated to the Cancer Council.
We loved this episode with Sam- he’s such a kind and warm soul and it was a pleasure to chat about where life has taken him! If you would like to hear more from Sam, you can follow him on instagram @samcorlett
