Who is Walter Samuel?
He was formally trained in Meisner Technique at Baron/Brown Studio. Walter is an actor, comedian & musician who has proven to bring a unique perspective to every shoot he’s been on. His wide range of emotion, extraordinary enthusiasm, and ability to change the energy on set is unparalleled. While his specialty lies in his natural ability to bring a unique & down to earth humor to his characters, he has a depth of emotion on par with the likes of the late Phillip Seymour Hoffman or Robin Williams.
Why Work With Walter Samuel?
"The Cash Machine" may not dazzle like those two earlier classics from Forsman & Bodenfors, but director Tomas Skoging's brisk comedy pacing really shines. The reworked Broadway tune, from producer Jonas Quant and singer Joseph Peter de Natale, will worm-wiggle into your ears and stay there all day, while Walter Samuel's earthy, laid-back portrayal of Bob rates 24 karats. (And he never speaks a word. Guess his money does the talking.)
"He made Bob into a charming, likable person with the perfect look," says Elfman. "A big part of the end result is thanks to him."
