"To celebrate the release of his first full memoir, Waypoints, Sam will be live in conversation, exploring his Scottish heritage and reflecting on the personal waypoints that define him.

"Touching on his career in theatre, television, and film, Sam will consider his life of fascinating contrasts: a Hollywood star with deep roots in rural Scotland, who is both outgoing and content in his own company.
