Biography

Sam Ord-Houghton is a member of Not Enough Knife, as well as a former stage actor. As Ord-Houghton grew up, he appeared in a number of well known plays, playing characters whose roles involved both acting and singing, most prominently, 'Annie.' During this period of time, he inspired his friend Matt Senior to become an actor, so they created a series of short home videos together. As years passed by, Ord-Houghton and Senior joined forces to create a production company named MAStudios, which created a series of unpublished comedy sketches. After this, Ord-Houghton left MAStudios and stage acting due to different career choices, and an apparent dislike to notoriety. However, in late 2015/early 2016 Ord-Houghton has made an appearance both in front of, and behind camera, when he made an appearance in the feature film 'Life (AKA The Boy Who Commits a Murder)', as well as acting as an associate producer. When Senior (the director) approached Ord-Houghton with the script and explained his role, he was initially hesitant, although was eventually talked around. After the premiere finished, Ord-Houghton was extremely impressed by the film, and had regained his passion for acting, stating that he wants to be Senior's first choice for all future films. Following this, he joined Senior's company Not Enough Knife, an independent media production company from Plymouth, England. Ord-Houghton continues to produce NEK films and pursue his acting career.
