Miles's experience in theatre ranges from immersive, devised work to classical texts and includes a critically acclaimed solo show about Stan Laurel, national and regional tours, and the West End. Screen credits include Darkest Hour with Gary Oldman and Little Howard's Big Question - a credit which, coincidentally, he shares with Samson Read - though not the same episodes!
With the return of live performance after the pandemic he is very pleased to resume his long-standing connection with the Globe Players bringing the work of Shakespeare, Dickens, Priestley and others to young audiences.
Miles has been involved in the realisation of his character in Vulnerable since the beginning of the creative process and is very excited to be bringing it to the screen.
Samson made his TV debut in Comedy Cuts (ITV2) when he was three weeks old followed by Little Howard’s Big Question (CBBC) a few months later. He took a break for a few years to concentrate on dribbling and generally being a baby. He joined Comedy Club 4 Kids at the age of 8 and started performing stand up comedy as a solo artist and sketch comedy with his sister. Since then he has performed gigs all over the country including: The Edinburgh Festival, The Soho Theatre, The Udderbelly, Latitude Festival and at the Disney DVD launch for Inside Out. Samson has played a number of roles in Horrible Histories, including Charles Dickens’ son. He is very excited to be in Vulnerable.
