Career

He has played the role of Flash in the Canadian television drama The Odyssey and Eddy from Ed, Edd, n Eddy. He has also worked for Vancouver's Ocean Productions and Voicebox Productions, primarily in anime. After Ed, Edd n Eddy ended in 2009, Sampson retired from acting to work in the oil sands industry in Fort McMurray.[1]

He once made a guest appearance at the March Toronto Anime Con in 2006.[2]

Sampson eventually revealed the real reason why he retired from voice acting. After working for eight years on Ed, Edd, n Eddy, Sampson requested a modest raise. The production company he was under responded by threatening to blacklist him from the acting industry, and this resulted in him quitting on his own terms.[3]

Music career

Since 2013, he has been a musical artist with songs on Spotify and iTunes.[4]
