Headshot for Sam Welling

Sam Welling

Sam is an 18-year-old stage and screen actor who balances his passion for performing with his love for sport, the Army Reserve and his studies. He has enjoyed playing a wide range of lead characters in stage productions, TVCs, films and has also lent his acting skills to well-known TV shows like Home and Away.

Sam likes discovering what makes characters tick and using this to bring them to life. He particularly enjoys the physicality of roles with some of his favourites being the Pirate King in Pirates of Penzance (2023), a miner in Free-Rain Theatre’s Billy Elliot -The Musical (2024), and most recently a pirate in Queanbeyan Player’s Pirates of Penzance (2025). He is now thrilled to be playing Frank in A Chorus Line.
