10 Movie Secrets They Didn't Want You To Know

1. Who Played Adult Sam In The Sequel Tease - Uncharted

And finally, 2022's big-screen adaptation of the hit action-adventure video game series Uncharted concluded with a sequel-teasing scene in which Nathan Drake's (Tom Holland) older brother Sam is revealed to still be alive, albeit in prison.

While a younger version of Sam is played by Rudy Pankow earlier in the movie, we never actually see adult Sam's face, as he's looking down with a healthy mop of hair obscuring his countenance from view.

When quizzed about this by IndieWire shortly after Uncharted's release, director Ruben Fleischer flat-out refused to real who the actor was playing Sam in the scene, saying, "It's a bit of a mystery... I'm not even sure he's credited."

Indeed, no actor is credited as portraying adult Sam, and this is most certainly like the aforementioned Blofeld situation, where the actor in this scene was a mere unknown stand-in, while a more prominent actor will be courted to play the part for real when the sequel finally comes together.
