Sam B

Sam B is one of the protagonists of Dead Island and Dead Island: Riptide.
He was voiced by Phil LaMarr, who also voiced Chris Jacobs from Mercenaries, Hermes from Futurama, and Wilt from FHFIF.
== Biography ==
Sam was booked by the Royal Palms Resort to perform his well-known song "Who Do You Voodoo" at a high profile hotel party. He gladly took the chance to play this gig.
Once strong, self-confident and proud, Sam B has had a troubled past and a history of drug and alcohol abuse, as his private life became caught in a haze of fake friends and bad advisers.
== Strategy ==
Sam is by far the toughest of the four characters, and the most capable of wading straight into groups of lesser enemies in melee combat. His specialisation in blunt weapons has a very high Force attribute let him knock enemies around like bowling pins, as does his rage ability.
Don't get too confident with him though; he can still be brought down quickly by a sufficiently large mob. For most enemies, the tactics are relatively similar; try to draw a couple off at a time so that you don't get surrounded and bash them flat. The one enemy that needs a very different tactic is gun-toting humans.
Trying to charge one (and usually there are more than one at a time) is a bad idea; unless you are able to sneak up close to one without them noticing until it's too late, they will be able to put several shots into you before you get in range and they will occasionally backstep to try to avoid you. It's best to keep one good pistol on hand and try to shoot them in the head, which is almost always a one-hit kill. Look through the ironsights while doing this for better accuracy.
== Trivia ==
*Sam is the only hero who doesn't reveal his surname.
*His full name may be a reference to Baron Samedi.
*His last name as it is shown in the game, which is 'B', may refer to the word 'blunt'. Blunt being his preferred skill set.
*His full name may also be an unusual reference to the word zombies. If you say his full name, Sam B, it sounds like zambie. This being a play on words of the word zombie.
*To promote Dead Island: Riptide, a live-action music video for "No Room In Hell" - featuring Sam B - was released. This makes Sam B the only hero currently depicted in live-action.
*If you stay idle for long enough, Sam will start whistling and singing his "Who Do You Voodoo?" song.
*Sam is the only hero to call the zombies by their actual name, instead of nicknames such as "bastards" and "freaks".
