Fan Casting Sammy in Scott Mann's Seven Samurai

A ferocious cage fighter with a murderous past, Sammy was once a Buddhist monk who ran away from the monastery and was later recruited by the army. He's the deadliest of the Seven—a master of the bo staff, three-sectional staff, and throwing stars—but he carries a bottomless well of rage and self-loathing. Sammy's arc is the film's most spiritual: a lost soul who rediscovers his humanity, dying as a warrior and a man of peace.
