About Me
I'm a New York kid. Born here, shaped here, always finding my way back. The city was never a backdrop for me. It was the place I ran toward. The place where I learned how to navigate, how to belong, how to become myself. New York raised me in the ways that actually counted.
I'm Sam Rosenthal. Actor, writer, producer, reformed disaster, work in progress.
I've been on Apple TV+. I've folded Lululemon leggings. I've done both with full commitment and I'm not embarrassed by either. I bring a life that's taught me what it costs to stay. In a scene, in a marriage, in a dream that keeps changing shape. I know what it means to want something badly enough to be genuinely humbled by it. That's not a liability. That's the whole thing.
I make things because I can't not. A prestige comedy series, a chamber play, a podcast about this life without the highlight reel. I stopped waiting for permission a long time ago. I take the work seriously. I take myself lightly. And I'm just getting started.
Got my first taste of the industry as a toddler background actor on Out of the Box.
I’ve physically touched an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, Tony, and Golden Globe …so technically I am a walking EGOT.
Walked by the Met Gala once.
BFA from Pace University, where I majored in questioning my entire life and emotional breakdowns.
My therapist suggested I journal. I wrote a 120 paged memoir. 12 chapters. And a had to turn it into a one-man show.
