Oh we all had a Nico or two in our theatre lives. There was one guy in my college drama dept who I was convinced would be a big star, guy had the charisma of a young Gene Kelly, a triple threat, straight hottie. Total romantic disaster to any girl in his orbit. The killer charm is hard to resist though isn't it at that age! I am sorry that Sam felt like he had to hide his truth, maybe someday he finds/found a way to reclaim it I hope.
