Sam Jay Gold is the inescapably American son of Jewish refugees who fled Russia for China, then China for America, dooming him to a never-ending search for a place to belong-and a low-key suspicion of anyone who'll have him. Specializing in TV dramas told from the margins of society and history, Sam tackles contemporary issues by sneaking under the radar with dark comedy, high stakes action, and grounded characters just trying to make the most of life's indignities. His work has received recognition from a number of competitions, winning Best Writing at ITVFest (now Catalyst Content), named a finalist in the TrackingB TV Pilot contest, and receiving Reader Recommendation on the Blacklist (two 8s & a 9). Alongside his teleplays, Sam is a produced, Off-Broadway playwright, narrative podcaster, and world-traveling puppeteer supported by the Jim Henson Foundation.
