Ras-Samuel
Ras-Samuel is a multifaceted force in the world of entertainment, seamlessly transitioning between roles as an actor, filmmaker, and theatre maker. His journey began amidst the rugged landscapes of the highlands of Tigray, Ethiopia, where as a shepherd, he found solace in crafting tales, playing improv games, and exploring the wilds with his fellow herders. It was here that his innate creativity was sparked, laying the foundation for a remarkable career ahead. In 2006, Ras-Samuel's path led him to the shores of Australia, where he embarked on a transformative acting odyssey. As a teenage prodigy at Greentree Acting School, he delved deep into the craft, refining his skills with unwavering dedication. Further honing his talents through a rigorous 12-month program at Brave Studios, Ras-Samuel emerged as a seasoned performer, ready to conquer the screen and stage alike. Ras-Samuel's ascent to prominence was announced with fervor when he joined the illustrious cast of 'Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes,' a storied franchise that stands as one of the longest-running in cinematic history. His cinematic repertoire boasts an impressive array of credits, spanning from blockbuster hits to independent gems. From the immersive landscapes of 'The Clearing' on Disney+ to the whimsical world of 'Woodywoodpecker' under Universal Studios' banner, Ras-Samuel has left an indelible mark on every project he touches. Yet, it is in the realm of independent cinema that Ras-Samuel truly shines as a luminary storyteller. As a writer, producer, and star, he has spearheaded projects like 'Jebena Genie,' 'The Last Supper,' 'A Good Boy,' and 'BLVCK GOLD.' The latter, a tour de force of artistic expression, garnered widespread acclaim, earning an Australian premiere at the esteemed St Kilda Film Festival in 2022. Ras-Samuel's ri
