'I don’t know what my future holds but I’m excited to find out,' says Morelos, who stars as Nikki in the spin-off of the hit teen com, 'That ’70s Show.'
LOS ANGELES, USA – “I think I screamed and danced around for a solid 20 minutes before cooling down,” admitted Sam Morelos, a first-generation Filipino American actress, about learning “But once I really allowed the news to resonate, I was filled with so much gratitude,” added Sam, who started performing for family members as early as five years old.
“Thank you!” Sam humbly answered when I asked for her reaction to that review portion. “It’s so wonderful to be part of this ’70s/’90s universe, especially seeing how the original show launched the cast’s careers. I don’t know what my future holds but I’m excited to find out.” The busy teen, who takes voice, piano, and guitar lessons, is now also a member of The Echo Theater Company in LA.Congratulations on the show being renewed for season two. How did you learn about this good news?
It was very simple. I just had to send in an introduction video with some information about myself and answer questions like what I liked/disliked about the ’90s and how I related to one of the characters from the breakdown on the talent search sheet. I didn’t make much of it. The night I got the call, I remember getting a text from my manager asking what time I can hop on a call with my mom as I was pulling into the driveway from school.It is extremely helpful. The training from a performing arts school shaped the foundation I needed to be a professional on a real set. My school also provided a space for me to find my footing as an artist and actor.
I identify with Nikki’s wit and sarcasm. I love a good sarcastic dig, and sometimes our senses of humor line up perfectly. Another thing I identify with is her drive. She is so dead set on her goals and she knows exactly what she needs to do to get them. The gang clicked in a very special way, and I feel like I consider them some of my closest friends. Not only are they fun to be around but they’re all amazing scene partners because they’re all great listeners.
Working with him is not only fun but also very professional and dynamic. He always gives you something to play off of whenever you’re in a scene with him, and even just watching him from the monitors is so entertaining because he is so funny.

Tommy Chong is a legend in his own right, and I still get giddy every time I bring up the fact that I’ve met him before.I didn’t have any scenes with either of them but the two of them were very down-to-earth and grounded. Watching them step onto the sets and seeing them interact with the producers and everyone from The stages were just radiating with nostalgia and love for one another. It was really nice to see.
