Sam Corlett, the Australian actor who broke out as Leif Erikson across three seasons of Netflix’s Vikings: Valhalla, has signed with William Morris Endeavor (WME) for U.S. representation.
Theatrical agents Adam Schweitzer and James Farrell will lead film and TV efforts, Meyash Prabhu steps in on the literary side, and Joseph Thornton-Allan handles brand partnerships.
The signing comes at a strong career moment. Corlett is set to co-lead The Land, a Hulu NFL drama created by Dan Fogelman, opposite Chris Meloni, William H. Macy, and Mandy Moore.
His Netflix series Territory, a sprawling outback drama centered on a cattle dynasty, debuted on the platform’s Global Top Ten and earned him a TV Week Logie Award nomination for Best Lead.
On the film side, his independent feature He Ain’t Heavy premiered at the 2024 Sydney Film Festival, where he won the Outstanding Achievement in Performance award at the WA Screen Culture Awards. His earlier credits include Netflix’s Chilling Adventures of Sabrina and the AACTA Award-winning The Dry.
The deal adds to WME’s active 2026 signing streak, the agency recently brought on Rosalind Eleazar, star of Chris Rock’s A24 film Misty Green, and Josh Gad.
Corlett continues with Entertainment 360 for management, Narrative PR for publicity, and United Management for representation in Australia.
Takeaways
Sam Corlett’s WME signing is a clear signal that his momentum is being taken seriously at the highest level of the industry. He’s not just a streaming face, he’s a multi-platform talent with awards recognition, festival credits, and a high-profile Hulu series on the horizon.
The fact that WME is covering three lanes simultaneously (theatrical, literary, and brand partnerships) tells you they’re not thinking small. This is a full-career build, not just a booking play.
The retention of Entertainment 360 and Narrative PR while adding WME U.S. also shows a deliberate, layered strategy, expanding globally while keeping the team that got him here intact.
With The Land co-starring Chris Meloni and backed by Dan Fogelman (the mind behind This Is Us), could this be Corlett’s crossover moment with mainstream U.S. audiences? WME now handles his brand partnerships, which major brands might come calling given his global reach and the NFL backdrop of The Land?
