Hi!

My name is Sam Cusson, and I am a multi-hyphenate artist based out of NYC.

I mainly act, but when there aren’t any gigs showing up, then I need a creative outlet, or I will explode.

I love hypernaturalism and nuance, but I do believe humans are capable of producing any form of “real” behavior under the right circumstances. Part of why I love this career so much is the journey my brain and body get to go on in producing this “real” behavior in situations that I have no personal experience in. Training my empathy and expanding my perspective, even in the most difficult and outlandish situations or characters, is a large part of why I feel fulfilled in this industry.

With “good acting” being subjective, my goal is to breathe, think, and cry as my character, without sacrificing my humility on set or backstage for the craft. I care a lot, but work ethic should not get in the way of general kindness for everyone.

I don’t believe you can ever stop growing, and I am currently in the Extension Division at Juilliard.

Outside of art, I want to support others like I have been graciously supported. There is hope! Call 988 or text CONNECT to 741741 for free, confidential, 24/7 support.
