Samuel French, ‘Killers of the Flower Moon’ Actor, Dies at 45


Samuel French, known for his roles in "Killers of the Flower Moon" and "The Walking Dead," has died.

Samuel French, a Texan actor known for his role as undercover FBI agent CJ Robinson in “Killers of the Flower Moon,” died this morning in Waco, Texas following a years-long battle with cancer. He graduated from high school there before moving to Austin and eventually Dallas, landing early acting credits on series like “Texas Rising” and “Fear the Walking Dead” as “Ben,” as well as film roles like “Pegasus: Pony With a Broken Wing,” “The Pro Bono Watchman” and a role in the 2024 crime thriller “Blood Dried Hands.” ‘Towpath’ wouldn’t exist without him, and the incredible intensity he brought to the role of Detective Bernard Crooke set the tone for the entire film.
