SAM GIVEN

About me

Grateful to be an NYC-based actor, writer, collaborator.

Humor in spades, tears to boot.

Queer AF, sweet, unsuspecting, calculating, perhaps...dangerous.

This chameleon loves community, challenging stereotypes and inspiring change.

Pre-Pandemic: Made my Broadway Debut in The Inheritance (TONY Award for Best Play). 

​

Post-Pandemic: Returned to performing in Titanique: The Musical (Eva Price prod.), The Tempest with Resounding Live, and Rebel Rebel: The Many Lives of David Bowie In Concert.

​

Working with Judy Gold on my new play, Flinch, about fathers and their very "colorful" sons. 

​
 

TV/FILM  

Just shot a music video for RYAL's "Thunder (Solo on the Dance Floor)" and currently filming a lead role in THE KNOWING, a socially-distanced sci-fi series. Recent credits include a SONY AIBO spot, a series regular in MERCE, and LAST FERRY (NETFLIX). Continued mentorship with Heidi Marshall and Michelle Hurd. NBC DIVERSITY SHOWCASE ALUM.

THEATRE

Just made my Broadway Debut in THE INHERITANCE. Other recent credits include Emcee in CABARET, Sonya in GODSPELL, Bobby in A CHORUS LINE, Boobs in Fat Mike and Jeff Marx's HOME STREET HOME, and a National Tour as Ziggy Startdust in REBEL REBEL: DAVID BOWIE IN CONCERT 

SOLO WORK/WRITING

I've written 10-parody shows for my alter-ego Millie Grams. Toured to regional theaters across the country with Millie Grams: Make Your Own Kind Of Music, playing to audiences with little to no exposure to gay/queer stories and men in 6-inch heels. Currently writing a play under Judy Gold about me and my father called Flinch.
