More Than Just Acting
Sam has made a name for himself in the acting industry, but he has also gone behind the scenes. He tried his hand in production, writing, and on one occasion, singing. He sang a cover version of the Tom Petty song “I Won’t Back Down” for the 2006 animated feature Barnyard. This film prominently featured his voice work.
Other than that, Sam produced the 18-episode Netflix series with Ashton Kutcher, The Ranch. If you haven’t seen the show yet, it takes place on the fictional Iron River Ranch in an also fictitious small town of Garrison, Colorado. It’s about the life of the Bennetts, a dysfunctional family of two brothers, their father, and his estranged wife, a local bar owner.
