Privacy NoticeIt’s been 12 years since Sam Buttery starred on The Voice UK, and she’s now landed a new role on hit Netflix series Kaos. Sam first appeared on screens during the first series of the BBC show at the time, at just 20 years old, and will be remembered for having a big voice, glasses and personality. Sam’s school refused the star a part in their play before The Voice, with the feedback that due to not having a “strong enough voice.” However Sam proved them wrong after getting the approval of music legend Tom Jones. Bursting on to the stage, Sam wowed with a performance of Adele ’s Set Fire To The Rain and continued to wow throughout the series. However, was eliminated in the Live Finals.

Now, Sam’s career in showbiz is going from strength to strength as she can be seen in Netflix’s new mythological black comedy series Kaos, and plays one of The Fates; three trans non-binary, immortal Gods of desire. Starring alongside Suzy Izzard and Ché, the show sees the three Fates (Atropos, Lachesis, and Clotho) deciding the destinies of all of humankind. Speaking to Pink News, Sam reveals the role was a ‘powerful’ experience. “Existing and operating as a trans person, you can often feel quite immobilised or powerless because I suppose the fate – pardon the pun – of your life is discussed in an abstract setting, like the government,” she said. “So when it comes to playing parts, I think I enjoy and thrive most on enacting that part of me that is powerful.”

Sam reveals she began filming with they/them pronouns and, when returning to set for reshoots, had decided to switch to she/her. The new show has been getting raving reviews on X, formerly known as Twitter, as one penned: “Have just watched the first episode of #Kaos on Netflix and I have to say if you’re not watching this already then you need to question your priorities. It’s superb and Jeff Goldblum… has a role ever better suited an actor?” “No cause everything is right in the world because of Netflix new show Kaos,” another fan exclaimed. A third just couldn’t get enough of the show as they admitted: “just finished kaos on netflix after starting it less than 24 hrs ago it was so good” Since starring in The Voice, Sam’s acting career has gone from strength to strength, first landing her first film role alongside Tom Hardy and Gary Oldman in ‘Child 44’.Story SavedYou can find this story in My Bookmarks.Or by navigating to the user icon in the top right.Follow OK!
