Samuel Caruana was born in Paterson, New Jersey. As a toddler, Samuel was with his parents in NYC when he was spotted by casting directors for Fisher Price and cast in their project " Baby Moves " . Samuel's father was a staff audio engineer at Sony Music Studios and a two time Grammy Award winner for his work with Beyoncé so Samuel spent much of his early years inside some of the most iconic recording studios in the music industry. It's no wonder Samuel started taking piano and recorder lessons at age four with recording artist/musician Marc Mommaas. Samuel received his first soprano saxophone at age six ; a custom made curved soprano by Robertos in NYC . At age seven Samuel became the youngest member of the New York Jazz Academy Junior Jazz Band, where he studied soprano saxophone with Javier Arau. Samuel took guitar lessons with recording artists/ guitarists Ronny Drayton and Gabriel Gordon. Samuel also reads and writes music. After being introduced to the Star Wars films at age eight, Samuel became interested in swords and joined the Japanese Swordsmanship Society in Hoboken, New Jersey, where he trained in IADO and learned to use the bokken sword and bo-staff. Samuel is an accomplished equestrian, riding both english and western saddles. Samuel is comfortable on both gaited horses and ungaited horses and spends as much time as possible at the ranch riding horses. Samuel is also a Fencer and Archer and was a member of USA Archery from 2014 -2016. As an actor, Samuel has been blessed to work with many talented casting directors, crews and casts in projects on stage, film, television and even National commercials and music videos, and Samuel has loved every minute. Samuel continues to study his craft, as an actor, and that includes living a well rounded life that keeps him grounded.
