Whiz Kid: Sam Kaufman

A working actor, karate brown belt and family man

Know a great kid who made Eagle Scout or did your local soccer team take the championship? They may be our next Patch Whiz Kids honoree.

Each week, Bayside Patch will seek suggestions from readers for individual kids, youth groups, teens, and even sports teams that wow us with their accomplishments. We want to hear about these amazing children and teens and select one each week as the Patch Whiz Kid.  Submit your nomination in our comment box below or e-mail the information to Lori.gross@patch,com. Be sure to include all of the information you see below, and a photo. Our next honoree is Sam Kaufman.

  • Name: Sam Kaufman
  • Age: 13
  • School: J.H.S. 194
  • Accomplishment: He is that boy in the commercial. 
  • Kid's Key to Awesomeness: Sam has been in countless television commercials since beginning his career at age five. Commercials include Trident, Black and Decker and MasterCard. Keep your eye on him as he might just be the next cute kid to land a role in film or on a television series. When he is not going on auditions, Sam can usually be found reading and can never seem to get enough of the printed word. He is also a brown belt in karate, ice skates and enjoys spending time with his family.
