Sam Swainsbury plays Mr Bishop in Ludwig Series 1 Episode 5. His representative’s credit list identifies Jason as a series-regular role across all three series of Mum, and Kevin Russell in Fearless. It also lists roles in Call the Midwife, Victoria, Hanna, The Red King, Dalgliesh and Run Away.
These are selected production and role credits from the agency list; they do not constitute a complete chronological biography or imply details about private life.
Film and theatre
Screen and stage range
The Artists Partnership lists Swainsbury as Rowan in both Fisherman’s Friends films, DI Brompton in The Duke and a Stonehenge news reporter in Thor: The Dark World. Its stage record includes Robert in Relics, Sergeant Troy in Far from the Madding Crowd at the Watermill Theatre and Sandy Tyrell in Hay Fever at Rose Theatre Kingston.
On his own site, Swainsbury also describes work behind the camera: producing and directing short films, third-assistant-director and production-assistant work, and editing showreels through Reels by Sam. This is his account of his wider practice, not a checked film-by-film production ledger.

Artwork and photographs
Name card
The header uses a typographic name card where a licensed portrait is not available. Photographs require a suitable licence and a visible credit.
Skills
Approved casting CV needed
The public credit list does not establish current accents, languages or specialist skills. Those entries require a performer-approved casting CV rather than inference from roles.
Training
Training source needed
No specific drama school, qualification or dated training route is established by the linked records. This section remains open.
Awards and recognition
Individual awards
The linked agency record does not establish a personal nomination or win. An award won by a production is not automatically an individual award for its performers.
