Thank you! The opportunity to play in the mindset of S5 Sam was one of the main attractions of this prompt. Like the prompter, I too love that 'never say die' attitude of Sam's and he had so many hits in S5 and he coped with them all; while battling addiction. You gotta admire that.
I'm rewatching S5 atm...it just recently came out on DVD in Oz...and the difference between the two characters - S5-Sam and S6-Sam is just phenomenal. Jared is doing such an awesome job!
