Sammy Dell is a rising actor and musician with two huge projects coming out this year. First is the release of I Can Only Imagine 2, which marks his first big film role and then with the release of his EP Playground of Glass.
Sammy has built a strong foundation on stage with his lead role in Trevor: The Musical, and appearing in productions such as Titanic: The Musical, Regarding the Disappearance of Amy, and the national tour of School of Rock. He is an accomplished songwriter and musician and plans to continue writing and recording original music alongside his work in scripted film and television.
After the breakout success of the song “I Can Only Imagine,” MercyMe’s Bart Millard (John Michael Finley) is living the dream—sold-out arenas, a devoted fan base, and a thriving career. But behind the spotlight, Bart’s past threatens the family he’s built, especially the fragile bond with his son, Sam (Sammy Dell).
When hopeful newcomer Tim Timmons (Milo Ventimiglia, “This Is Us”) joins the band for their biggest tour yet, he unknowingly brings a renewed gratitude to Bart’s life through their unlikely friendship. Bart soon discovers that Tim carries hardships—and secrets—of his own, forcing him to face his past and repair his relationships with Sam and his wife, Shannon (Sophie Skelton), before fame costs him what matters most. Based on the heartfelt true story behind the hit single “Even If,” I Can Only Imagine 2 is the inspiring next chapter of faith, family, and finding God in the fire.
Directed by Andrew Erwin and Brent McCorkle, written by Brent McCorkle, and starring John Michael Finley, Milo Ventimiglia, Sophie Skelton, Arielle Kebbel, Sammy Dell with Trace Adkins and Dennis Quaid.
