Sam Witwer BiographyHe has appeared in individual episodes of numerous television shows as well as minor recurring characters in shows such as Battlestar Galactica, Smallville, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation and Dexter. He also voiced and gave his likeness to main protagonist Galen Marek/Starkiller in Star Wars: The Force Unleashed and Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II. For Cartoon Network's Star Wars: The Clone Wars, he voiced The Son & Darth Maul.
Witwer grew up in Glenview, Illinois, a small suburb outside of Chicago. He attended Glenbrook South High School, during which time he was involved in drama and theater classes, as well as being the lead singer of a high school band called "Love Plumber." He attended the Juilliard School for a time before moving to Los Angeles.
Witwer claims that his first on-screen credit was that of a Chicago Bulls commercial. He soon found himself in speaking roles on hit television series, such as ER.
Witwer's first major recurring role came in the form of portraying Lt. Crashdown on Battlestar Galactica, although he has credited much of his current success to his role as Neil Perry on the Showtime series Dexter. Witwer also appeared as a soldier, Private Wayne Jessup, in the movie The Mist.
From 2008 to 2009, Witwer was cast Season 8 of Smallville as Davis Bloome, a charming paramedic who struggles with a darkness within as he is the human camouflage of Doomsday, a character in the comics best known for being the only villain to have killed Superman. While Witwer played Davis, Doomsday was played by stuntman Dario Delacio. Although uncredited, Witwer also played the full-physical form of the show's version of Zod at the end of the Season 8 finale (while the role would later be played in Season 9 by British actor Callum Blue). Witwer's performance in Smallville was incredibly well-received, and he has stated that his experience on the show had opened more opportunities for him in the future of acting.
Witwer made a cameo appearance in The Walking Dead as a dying soldier in the Season 1 episode "Days Gone Bye" which reunited him with director Frank Darabont from The Mist.
Witwer is now currently starring in the North American remake of Being Human. He plays the role of vampire Aidan.
Sam is an avid player of both electronic games and pen-and-paper roleplaying games. This is a hobby that he has actively pursued for years.
He has been a frequent guest on the Podcast Order 66 and has expressed a love for Star Wars Roleplaying games Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game (by West End Games) to Star Wars Roleplaying Game (by Wizards of the Coast).
Sam appeared in episode 19 of Geek and Sundry's Tabletop playing the Dragon Age roleplaying game.
Witwer, a lifelong Star Wars fan, appeared as lead character Galen Marek/Starkiller (Darth Vader's secret apprentice) and Darth Sidious (Emperor Palpatine) in the successful multimedia project Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, providing both his voice and likeness to the game's lead character across all of the media. He has since received much praise for his contribution to the role.
He reprised his role as Starkiller in the video game Soulcalibur IV as well as in Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II. He has also reprised his role of Darth Sidious in the downloadable bonus mission of the sequel.
For Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Witwer had also vocally performed the Son in a three episode story arc, known as the Mortis trilogy, in Season 3 as well as the iconic Sith Lord Darth Maul in the Season 4 finale episodes ("Brothers" and "Revenge") and in four episodes of Season 5.
He also lent his voice for Darth Maul in other projects such as the Star Wars: Episode I Brisk commercial as well as the Cartoon Network TV special Lego Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Out.
Sam attended The Clone Wars Season 5 Red Carpet Premier in Orlando Florida on August 24, 2012 during Celebration VI along with some of his co-stars Matt Lanter, James Arnold Taylor, Dee Bradley Baker, Tom Kane, Daniel Logan, Stephen Stanton and Ashley Eckstein as well as Supervising Director Dave Filoni.
During Celebration VI, Sam also had his very own panel called Sam Witwer "The Maul Within" on Sunday August 26 2012. In 2013 Sam attended for the very first time the annual event, Star Wars Weekends at Disney's Hollywood Studios in Orlando Florida for a three day weekend and fans praised him for his roles in the Force Unleashed games and on The Clone Wars.
During the live show "Behind the Force" Sam showed his acting skills by saying one or two lines of the characters that he's played in the Star Wars universe.
Witwer states that his first love is music and he is consequently the lead singer of his own band: "The Crashtones". They released their first CD, entitled "Colorful of the Stereo" in 2006. Witwer has since assembled a live line-up consisting of professional musicians and others, including Glenn Howerton of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia with whom he plays gigs whenever time allows it.
Witwer gives regular interviews and is a recurring guest on d20 Radio's Order 66 podcast. He currently resides in North Hollywood, Los Angeles, California.
