What is contained on this page is only a partial listing of television shows and television film appearances by Sam Edwards. There are more to be discovered, either through casting call sheets, old scripts, newspaper notices, or the like, and they will be added as we find them. Some are more difficult to ascertain, since they may have simply included looping or off-screen work, and variety shows like Red Skelton, much less soap operas, are hard to pinpoint because of how casting is indexed. The shows are listed followed by episodes, roughly in chronological order starting with his first appearance. A small synopsis plus Sam's role is included where it could be found. Other names are included as a reference of the actors he often worked with. Uncredited or unknown means that he was either in a non-speaking role or was left out of the credits, common for some character actor appearances. This listing is more inclusive than IMDB.

The Red Skelton Show/Comedy Hour (1951-70) (CBS/NBC)
Sam was often used for incidental or background characters throughout the run of this show. Although he worked many times directly with Mr. Skelton, he noted that the host never called any of the crew or actors except for the biggest stars by their name, opting for "Hey you" or derivatives thereof. This is not meant to detract from his talent - just an observation of a sometimes aloof man. Skelton had a complex personality and a great mind for comedy, but he also was overtly personally affected if a show did not go over as well as he hoped with the audience, sometimes crying backstage. He usually left the theater directly after the last scene was shot. Finding specific episodes for Sam's Skelton appearances is a tedious job. There are five known episodes he was in that are listed here, but many more to be uncovered.
