He has turned down a Marvel movie and Ford vs Ferrari, but the LA-based Sampson jumped at the chance to star in Heartbreak High while filming another hit Aussie series, Bump.
Cameras were rolling on the set of a Hollywood film when Angus Sampson noticed something odd about his American colleagues. A co-star who had won a best actor Oscar was having his lines fed to him via an earpiece. Another was holding a script just out of shot. A third had a PA holding up cue cards reminding them to do anything as complicated as nodding.Sampson learns his lines. So far, he’s appeared in 39 films and 34 TV series, and has writing and directing credits to his name as well.
He’s speaking from the Los Angeles home he’s lived in since 2014. It’s in an area of Hollywood that was once an avocado grove, but today is full of Moreton Bay figs, jacarandas and eucalyptuses. “It’s nice to have a bit of domesticity in this unfamiliar rapids of a city. Not that I really hang out with Australians while I’m here. I certainly don’t want to be reminded that I shouldn’t be here, on some level, which is what happens a lot when you hang out with your Australian peers.
Sampson says that part of the appeal of playing Voss was that “his dinosaur ways were really my own ways in many regards”.
