Samuel Stewart Witwer (born October 20, 1977 in Glenview, Illinois) is an American screen actor and musician best known for his roles as the pilot Crashdown on ''Series/BattlestarGalactica2003'', Aidan in ''Series/BeingHumanUS'' and Davis Bloom/Doomsday in the 8th season of ''Series/{{Smallville}}''. He has also made a number of other minor appearances on the shows ''Series/{{Dexter}}'', ''Series/{{CSI}}'', ''Series/{{Shark}}'', ''Series/{{The Walking Dead}}'', ''Series/DarkAngel'' and ''Series/{{Bones}}''.

''Star Wars'' fans would recognize him as both the voice and [[InkSuitActor look]] of Darth Vader's secret apprentice, Starkiller/Galen Marek, in ''VideoGame/TheForceUnleashed'', ([[TalkingToHimself in which he also voices]] an uncannily Creator/IanMcDiarmid-like Emperor Palpatine). He returned as Starkiller's clone in the sequel, ''The Force Unleashed II''. He also voices the Son and [[BackFromTheDead Darth Maul]] in ''[[WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars The Clone Wars]]''. ''[[WesternAnimation/StarWarsRebels Rebels]]'' saw him back ''again'', to voice Palpatine and Maul. Sam is very much a geek at heart, being a huge gamer and an all-round massive ''Franchise/StarWars'' nerd, so those roles were a [[PromotedFanboy dream come true for him.]]

As of late, he seems to be the go to guy for {{Villain Protagonist}}s and [[AntiHero Anti-Heroes]]. Sam likes to get inside the heads of his characters and bring out their sympathetic qualities along side their villainous ones, compelling the audience to root for them (or at least sympathize) no matter what [[CharacterAlignment alignment]] they are at the time. And he can go from a nice, normal guy to being scary-as-hell at a drop of a hat.

''Star Wars'' fans would recognize him as both the voice and [[InkSuitActor look]] of Darth Vader's secret apprentice, Starkiller/Galen Marek, in ''VideoGame/TheForceUnleashed'', ([[TalkingToHimself in which he also voices]] an uncannily Creator/IanMcDiarmid-like Emperor Palpatine). He returned as Starkiller's clone in the sequel, ''The Force Unleashed II''.
