Sam (Sam & Max)

Sam, also known as Big Guy, Sammy, Samuel and Tyrone, is one of the main protagonists from the Sam & Max series.
== Charactah Account ==
A member of the Freelance Police, Sam comes off as more level headed and less violent than his partner Max, albeit not by much.
Sam is prone to long-winded sentences filled with elaborate terminology. He is usually depicted as being very calm, rational and collected, preferring to solve things diplomatically rather than always resorting to violence. He rarely loses his temper and is able to react to panic-inducing situations with extreme calm. When he does get angry, however, he tends to react in an uncharacteristically savage manner. In They Stole Max's Brain, Sam shows his more violent manner of investigating then the previous episodes, which include from beating a gorilla for showing a dog sign, to using a gun on a COPS member. It is usually, and somewhat ironically, Max that calms him down and prevents him from acting upon his anger.
Although most of the time he acts like a human, Sam sometimes behaves like a dog. He has growled several times in the Telltale games, and his sobbing in Sam & Max Hit the Road sound similar to the whimpers of a dog. He seems to have an enhanced sense of smell; he was able to smell where Max parked the car in Monkeys Violating the Heavenly Temple, and located the cereal aisle in Beast from the Cereal Aisle and the concession stand in Night of the Cringing Wildebeest by their non-food scents. He has also been shown to enjoy dog treats.

== Trivia ==
* In Poker Night 2, Claptrap asks Sam if he dates humans or other talking dogs. Sam replies, "Don't tell anyone, but I'm kind of off the market right now." As he says this, he gestures vaguely behind him towards Max. This implies that they are together at this time.
** In This Time It's Virtual, Max mentions Sam's failed attempts at romance with two women named Susan and Debbie, which means that Sam may be bisexual.
* In Chariots of the Dogs, Sam asks his younger self if he would want to be a boss cop like him. In response young Sam asks, "Do I have to be fat as you too?" after this, Sam pulls out a gun, but is stopped by the time machine elevator before he could use it. This implies that Sam would shoot a kid for calling him fat, even if that kid is himself.
* Sam won a surfing trophy back at school, mainly because he cried to the P.E teacher and then begged Max to club his competitors in the knees.
* In Poker Night 2, Sam reveals that he auditioned for the role of Bigby, the main protagonist of the Telltale game The Wolf Among Us, but Telltale rejected him because he wasn't "wolfy" enough (and because he needed to lose a few pounds, according to Max).
* Sam is shown to love chocolate, despite the fact that it is poisonous to dogs.
* Bill Farmer revealed in an interview he and Nick Jameson completed two or three days of recording on Sam & Max: Freelance Police, spread out over different months, but then never heard anything from LucasArts. Farmer ultimately found out that the game was cancelled upon looking it up online. He expressed disappointment at this, saying that Hit the Road had some of the best writing he has ever performed and that he would have liked to reprise Sam.
* Sam has a debilitating fear of being seen naked.
* Sam has been addressed as Samuel three times, by Bosco in Situation: Comedy, The Mole, the Mob, and the Meatball, and Max in Bright Side of the Moon. And another time by the queen in Sam & Max: This Time It's Virtual.
* According to Mike Stemmle, Sam likes Hannah Montana.
* Many fans think that Sam and Max are married, however it is not canon but heavily implied.
