Samuel is Collider's List Flex Editor (previously Lead List Editor), which means he's pretty much always hovering around Collider's List department. A writing and editing automaton based in Nashville, Tennessee, and sometimes Los Angeles, Samuel has been working in entertainment journalism for over 10 years.
Samuel is the guy who talked to Betty White about vodka and hot dogs. Chaz Ebert once pinched Samuel's cheeks after a screening of Beyond the Valley of the Dolls, when Samuel told her that Roger was and forever is his hero. William Friedkin once jokingly called Samuel "dad" at a screening of Samuel's favorite movie, The Babadook. Forbes once called Samuel a "sneering critic" because he disliked Don't Look Up.
Two major brands have trusted Samuel with curating their respective lists of the 100 Best Movies of All Time. Samuel wrote one of these lists in its entirety.
Other career highlights include appearing on KCRW and meeting Joe Morgenstern, and also spending 50 minutes talking to Tommy Wiseau on a landline (which was awesome).
Samuel loves his job and is rarely actively not doing it.

Live from the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles on March 1, the 32nd Actor Awards presented by SAG-AFTRA recognize the greatest performances of 2025 across film and television. Previously known as the Screen Actors Guild Awards, the Actor Awards serve as the final major televised ceremony of the season before the Academy Awards on March 15. Kristen Bell returns as host for the third time, following funny and well-received hosting stints in 2018 and 2025.
Warner Bros. Pictures productions One Battle After Another and Sinners lead film nominations with seven and five nods, respectively. Apple TV's comedy The Studio is all but guaranteed to have a big night, with a total of five nods. HBO's The White Lotus and Netflix's Adolescence follow with four nods apiece. The presenters confirmed for Sunday's ceremony include Sterling K. Brown, Lisa Kudrow, Chase Infiniti, Timothée Chalamet and Wunmi Mosaku, and Harrison Ford will be honored with SAG-AFTRA's Lifetime Achievement Award.
The 32nd Actor Awards airs on Netflix at 8 pm/5 EST. Stay tuned to Collider for live updates and the full list of winners.
