On the verge of cementing two different solid careers in the entertainment field, Sam Easton is one of Canada’s brightest and hottest up and comers. The talented 25 year old Actor/ Stand-up comedian is catching fire in 2005 with a slew of movies and performances to come out this year.

Born and raised in Toronto, Sam moved to Vancouver to tackle work as an actor and as a comic after winning the prestigious Tim Sims Award in 2000. Soon after arriving in Vancouver, Sam began to book some big gigs. In 2003 Sam starred in The ButterflyEffect” with Ashton Kutcher and had a memorable role in one of Canada’s biggest hits to date The Delicate Art of Parking.

2004 wouldn’t slow down much for him either as he had a recurring role on two different television shows simultaneously. The critically acclaimed hit The L Word and TheMountain both had Sam Easton bouncing back from set to set as he starred in six episodes on each show. That summer he also starred in the indie hit Part of the Game which competed for Best Canadian Film at the Whistler Film Festival later that year.

With 2005 just starting Sam has already solified a lead in the upcoming horror film FinalDestination 3D as well as Rick Alyea’s next film Inconsequential Consequences which should take him to the summer.

However, it doesn’t slow down there. With his acting career starting to take off Sam still concentrates on his roots; Stand up Comedy. He’s signed on to debut this Summer at the world renounded “Just for Laughs” festival, where he’ll be featured in the New Faces category.

This guy is just getting warmed up and I don’t think you’ll see him cool down for a very long time. It’s very rare to see someone so talented and so dedicated to his craft.
