Sam was my acting coach in the 1980s and had a profound effect on my creative life as he did for so many others. His wisdom, humor, talent and genius were a gift to all who knew him. Love and blessings to Sybil and the family.

Sam was the best teacher I ever had. I hated to read, he got me interested in reading . He also taught me how to deal with negative things that had happened to me, by putting them into acting roles. He was a true mentor to me. I will always cherish those memories of Sam and his great students. My condolences to his beautiful family.
