well folks, samuel was played by an actor named R.D. Reid

http://www.nerowolfe.org/nwm/nwm_cast/image/RDR.jpg

he is simply listed as "farmer" in the credits. he is probably best know for being in the nero wolfe tv show.

he was also in dawn 04.

Did anyone else notice the similarity to Samuel, and the character Andy from Dawn 04?

I'm referring to them both writing on signs, not their actual appearance.

Ahhhh, well there is that.


Scipio, I never even noticed that that was the same actor. Good eye.

Great thread.

Personally, I would definitely shell out some bucks to buy a shirt that said "Amish. No Car" or "I am Samuel. Hello"

Cheers to Scipio for noticing that Samuel was the same actor as Glenn, though much less creepy as Amish than as the crossdresser. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

What teacher? If you're refering to the prinicipal, Mr Strickland, then that's not him.

R D Reid:

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0717395/

But no credit for diary? Can we be 100% sure that Samuel is actually R D Reid?

i found it odd that he wasn't credited at imdb. so i did a google search for sites listing the credits of diary of the dead. one of the places i looked at was the diary page at yahoo moives:
http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/1809791221/cast

r.d. reid is credited as "farmer" in the yahoo credits. after looking at a couple of pics (including the one i linked) i am convinced this guy was samuel.

Yes, it looks like him, and i am pretty certain it is him. So the question we must ask now is why?

Why no official credit for diary of the dead when it should have been blatantly obvious to all involved, including old jam jars himself, that Samuel was destined to be a massive zombie blasting cult icon?

UUUUUUUUU RRRRRRRRR YUUUUUUUUUUUUU???

i've wondered about that as well. i don't know what the possible reason could be for there not being a credit on imdb. then again, imdb is by means infallible. i toyed with the idea of editing diary's imdb page to add him, then decided not to.

it is kind of nice for it to be mysterious. if other folks are interested in finding out who played samuel, let them do the searching i did.

I recognized him as the cross dresser from Dawn04 as soon as I saw him in Diary. And when I originally saw him in Dawn04, I was immediately reminded of his classic role as "Scientist".:lol:

I have to say this. . .while I like the character of Samuel, his death was utter and complete BS!! That was a childish imagined gore scene that just should not have been translated onto the screen. A scythe through his own head? AND the head behind? come on :rolleyes: that would take a herculean feat of strength, and a lot more leverage. Just silly

For cryin out loud, man! Marty's principal, Mr Strickland, looks wayyy tougher than this guy. I don't really see any resemblance between the two other than the completely bald heads.

Yeah, but all those bald white guys look the same.:rolleyes::D
