Sam Stone Has been an actor, writer and stand up comedian based in Montreal, Québec, since 1978. He has performed in numerous films and television series as well as stage plays, and during the 1980's travelled across Canada as part of the comedy duet, Stone & Cruise, appearing at the International Festival "Juste Pour Rire" (Just For Laughs) in 1987 and 1988.

Playing Julius Streicher, Hitler's specialist in publishing hate literature, in the mini-series "Nuremberg" was something of an irony for Stone, whose parents survived a death camp near the Russian/ Romanian border. Stone had difficulty getting through the showing of the real life camp footage at one point in the film.
