Sampson’s malevolent Iago really stands out. It’s a multi-layered portrayal.

Pearce is represented by Millbank Casting and Management.
“It is Sampson who prompts my first flood of tears as the quiet and stoic Christoph Probst.”
“Sampson portrays the turmoil and anguish which result from his search for freedom through every aspect of his performance.”
“Sampson manages to bring a human depth to a character who is otherwise monstrous in nature.”
“Sampson is perfectly cast...his utter failure to offer any help is affectingly painful.”
