“Sam’s portrayal of Chester Campbell is one for the ages.
A villain who is despicable, petty, manipulative, but also charismatic, vulnerable, funny, and supremely entertaining to watch.”
“Sam was one of the key forces that got Peaky Blinders off to a running start, for which we will be forever grateful.
Our love and thoughts are with his family.”
