Warning: This post contains spoilers for Uncharted.
The reveal that Sam Drake is alive is one of Uncharted's biggest credits scene reveals, but who will play him in Uncharted 2? Tom Holland's Uncharted movie follows a young Nathan Drake as he meets and teams up with Mark Wahlberg's Victor «Sully» Sullivan to hunt for Ferdinand Magellan's lost treasure. One of the driving forces behind the film's events, despite his absence, is Nate's brother Sam.
Sam appears in flashback sequences played by Outer Banks star Rudy Pankow, but much of the film's present-day narrative centers around Nathan's search for his missing older brother. Despite Nathan being told in the film that Sam was killed off-screen, an Uncharted credits scene reveals that Sam is alive, indicating that he will likely appear as an adult in the franchise somewhere down the line. Director Ruben Fleischer won't reveal who plays Sam, though, causing many to wonder if his adult face will be a familiar one.

Exactly who will play Sam Drake is hard to say. If his video game counterpart is anything to go by, it's possible that the character will play a large role in any potential sequels, which means that any actor playing him will likely need big-screen credentials to rival those of co-stars Tom Holland and Mark Wahlberg. There's also the look and age of the character to consider — they'll need to share at least a passing resemblance to Rudy Pankow, and be roughly 30 years old, but ideally, they'll need to compare with the Uncharted video game character, too. Here are some of the best potential castings for Sam Drake in Uncharted 2.
