CREDITS

CAST

 

Sam Lewis - Dean

 "Dean is a pretty charming and pretty self-depreciating guy but in a funny way. I think he actually likes himself a lot, and likes the people around him. The thing I find interesting is his fascination with morbid things, like horror films. I actually watch horror films but I think Dean has a more humourous approach to them; inside I think he laughs at them." - Sam Lewis

A graduate of Centre for the Performing Arts in Adelaide, Sam has appeared in many stage productions for the State Theatre of South Australia, Centre for the Performing Arts and the Adelaide Festival. Sam made his first film appearance in CUT, starring alongside ANGST co-star Jessica Napier. ANGST is his first feature film lead role.
