A native Texan, Samantha Droke was born on November 8th, 1987, in De
Leon. She is the daughter of Lyndon and Synthia Droke. Samantha
possessed a love of performing from a very young age. She started out
singing and modeling and then her interests began to move towards
acting. She truly believed that she was destined for the silver screen.
Samantha began modeling and acting in plays and commercials locally.
She was discovered by agent Nicole Connor
at the tender age of fifteen. Within two weeks, she landed her first
independent feature film, Truce (2005),
directed by Matthew Marconi and
co-starring alongside Buck Taylor
(who played "Newly" in
Gunsmoke (1955)) and Oscar-nominated
actor George Kennedy from
Cool Hand Luke (1967). After
wrapping Truce (2005), she truly caught the
bug. Her family sold everything they had but their clothes and moved to
LA. At age seventeen, Samantha began to hit her stride. She landed a
national commercial for Cingular Wireless and recently booked a
guest-star role on the Hallmark Channel's
Jane Doe: The Wrong Face (2005)
(directed by Mark Griffiths) and
a starring role in the feature film
Don't Be Scared (2006)
(directed and produced by Master P and
Romeo Miller). Samantha also performs at the LA
Connection Comedy Improv Club. Not only beautiful and intelligent,
Samantha has the kind of drive and determination rarely seen in actors
her age.
