Samuel "Sam" (born: April 4 1978) was the yellow wiggle from late 2006 to early 2012. In November 2006, Greg left The Wiggles after being diagnosed with Orthostatic Intolerance. Sam, Greg's understudy during times when Greg was feeling unwell, replaced him and was the yellow Wiggle for slightly more than 5 years before Greg re-gained his health and returned to his role as the yellow Wiggle. After Greg came back to the group, Sam left The Wiggles for good. From 2013 to 2021, he starred in his own show "Play Along with Sam" which airs on Nick Jr. in Australia. After Play Along With Sam ended, he continued to record children's music through Republic Kids, a subsidiary of Republic Records, releasing two new singles in 2023 and performing at Kidzapalooza, the kids version of music festival Lollapalooza.
He played guitar, drums, and keyboards during his time with the group, making him one of the only Wiggles (along with Greg, Emma & Jeff) to have played all three of the other Wiggles' lead instruments.
Unlike Greg, Sam speaks with a western accent.
