An Eternal Perfectionist
Given his years of success in such a challenging environment, you’d think that Sam would have a pretty grand opinion of his skills. But it is quite the opposite. Sam is very critical of his own performances and has even expressed regrets about not going back and doing it all over again. He strives for perfection, evidently.
Sam had also expressed regret over the fact that he hardly had any formal acting training when he was younger. In his opinion, it would have made him “a more interesting actor.” But it’s hard to imagine him being any more interesting than he already is. But it’s only a credit to his integrity that he would say such a thing in such an honest way.
