Sam Humphrey is a New Zealand (Kiwi) actor, who was raised in Melbourne, Australia. Early in his career, Sam caught the eye of casting directors after making an appearance in a documentary that intimately showcased the lives of young people with disabilities, who against all odds, made their dreams a reality.
He is most notably known for starring in one of the worlds biggest movies along with household names Hugh Jackman and Zac Efron., as Tom Thumb in the GREATEST SHOWMAN.
But what most PEOPLE don’t know is just how much he had to overcome to get there with being born with a rare genetic disorder called Acrodysplasia, which causes a slew of issues with bone growth, mental development and immune system abnormalities.
He was also diagnosed with the inflammatory bowel condition Crohn’s disease as a child, and has spent a lifetime visiting hospitals and doctors’ offices for operations and tests.
This episode we hear Sam's story.
He openly discusses his struggles, being told in childhood he was unlikely to survive past his 18th birthday, and ultimately shares how at times how the pressure overcame him.
Currently based in Los Angeles, working as an actor, producer, and public speaker; Sam shares his story and his advocacy for these hard conversations to come to light to creatively create a legacy that helps to change the world and leave it nicer, positive, and full of love.
