Sam Ball's earliest years were spent in Boston, where he was born as the oldest of two siblings. However, his family's relocation to the northwest suburbs of Chicago during his early years would significantly impact his life and future endeavors.
Beyond his athletic prowess, Sam has always been driven by a lifelong passion for performing. This affinity was showcased during his time at St. Norbert College, where he landed the role of Adam in the Neil LaBute play "The Shape of Things." This pivotal experience in his collegiate career not only honed his acting skills but also instilled a sense of confidence that would serve him well in the years to come.
Following his college days, Sam's success in stand-up comedy and film acting in Chicago laid the groundwork for his eventual transition to the entertainment industry's hub, Los Angeles. Once in LA, he seamlessly adapted to television and live show production, further solidifying his reputation as a versatile and talented performer.
In late 2022, Sam's career took a notable turn when he was cast in the recurring role of Mick Foley/Mankind on the popular television series "Young Rock." This role not only demonstrates his impressive range as an actor but also serves as a testament to his ability to tackle diverse characters and projects throughout his career.
