Sam Peter Jackson trained as an actor at the Central School of Speech and Drama and as a writer on the Royal Court Young Writers Programme in London.
After various roles in the theatre and on TV (most notably as Richard Sonnenfeldt in Channel 4’s Bafta-winning ‘Nuremberg’), he moved into playwriting and is probably best known for ‘Public Property’ which ran in London's West End (Trafalgar Studios) and for which he was nominated for a 2010 WhatsOnStage Award for Best New Comedy.
Other plays include ‘Minor Irritations’ (Edinburgh/Dublin/London), for which he was nominated for the 2006 Oscar Wilde Award for Writing, and the short plays ‘Icarus’ (Manhattan Theater Source), ‘Where I Used To Live’ (Electricity Showrooms) and ‘Charity’ (Pleasance Theatre & Hampstead Theatre).
Short films include the RADA/ Warner Bros- produced “Better Than Happy”, “Things We Didn’t Say”, which was screened at Playwrights Horizons in New York and “Charity”, which he also co-directed.
Most recently Sam co-wrote and presented the Channel 4 documentary “The Other Michael Jackson: Battle of the Boogie” about his father singer/songwriter Mick Jackson.
Sam is natively bilingual (English/German) and also regularly works as a voice over artist in both languages.
