Struggling To Jumpstart His Career

Growing up, Samuel Arnold has always had interest towards acting as well as performing. He started his career as a hip-hop dancer and he never thought he would become a famous actor while he was pursuing his passion for dancing. He was inspired by Michael Jackson at the time and decided to start dancing hip-hop. He was part of a dance group during that time and they were invited to the reality show France Got Talent in 2009. However they did not have much luck joining the competition.

During the time he was pursuing dancing, he was studying acting at the International Film & Television School Paris, EICAR, from 2012 until 2013. After he finished attending EICAR, he decided to continue studying acting from 2013 until 2015 at the Giles Foreman Centre For Acting. At the time it was the perfect place for him to hone his acting skills while dancing since GFCA is one of the academies who offers both full time and part time training for intensive acting. While trying to make a name for himself, he has worked different odd jobs to make ends meet including taking a job as a bartender at a Mexican restaurant in London.

Breaking into Acting Industry

After moving to London in 2015, Arnold started trying his luck on the acting industry. He had a minor role a year after as a robber in the TV movie titled Tuer un Homme in 2016. He had no luck snagging a role for two years until he was finally cast in National Theatre Live: Antony & Cleopatra in 2018 as Supernumeraries. The show which has adapted works of William Shakespeare’s Antony & Cleopatra ran from September 18, 2018 until January 19, 2019. The show runs for about three hours and thirty minutes which included the interval which was held at the Olivier Theatre. Although it was Sophie Okonedo and Ralph Fiennes who led the show, Arnold’s role as Supernumeraries left a mark in the audience and critics who watched the show.

After his role in the live play, he finally snagged a role in the TV series titled Platane as Graffeur. Platane is about the protagonist Eric who fell into coma after hitting a tree in a car accident. The series which ran for three seasons only had Arnold for two episodes but his performance left a mark to the critics that he eventually won the hearts of many. Finally he was casts at the Netflix original series Emily in Paris which became his international debut.
