A third fan commented: "You're easy to support…good people radiate authenticity…and the people love it. Congrats!"
Sam thanked his fans for their support
Sam's participation in the event comes just over a week after the trailer for his latest TV project was released.
The 42-year-old is due to star in Channel 4's upcoming eight-part thriller titled Suspect, which follows veteran detective, Danny Frater (James Nesbitt), who turns up at a hospital mortuary for what he thinks is a routine ID check only to find that the corpse is his estranged daughter, Christina (Imogen King), who appears to have taken her own life.

"He is forced to confront his own failings as a father whilst struggling to make sense of a mass of contradictory testimony and circumstantial evidence, and he must decide who, if anyone, is responsible for Christina's death and what he's going to do about it," reads the official synopsis.
While little is known about Sam's character, we do know that he is playing an Englishman as he can be heard speaking in an accent in the trailer. We see his character saying: "Don't go sticking your nose into things that are best left well alone."
